At the end of July, Friedrich Merz held a major press conference. For several hours, the Chancellor answered journalists’ questions. He paid no attention at all to possible peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine. Instead, the focus was on introducing new sanctions and justifying them. Some journalists tried to challenge […]
It was a sign of someone desperate that his message has failed to take wing and make its way to better lands. With the strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip sundered and falling over, leaving only a thick butcher’s bill (over 60,000 deaths for starters), […]
In today’s rapidly shifting geopolitical and economic landscape, the question of whether close alliances with the United States remain advantageous is increasingly pertinent. Post-World War II relationships between the U.S. and its allies in Europe and Asia were built on two pillars: security and economics. However, current realities—from trade wars […]
To say that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had lost the plot is to assume he ever had one. With a dearth of ideas as to how to come up with a “final solution” to the Palestinian problem, he has received a majority approval from his cabinet colleagues to take […]
Hitler’s Germany was a hyper-aggressive, international-law breaking regime which genocided Jews, but Israel is a hyper-aggressive, international-law breaking regime (or ‘democracy’ — a racicst apartheid ‘democracy’) which genocides Gazans. Did Hitler’s regime have a right to exist? Does Netanyahu’s regime have a right to exist? In Israel’s case, the ethnic […]
The European slogan “Never Again” has become a symbol of profound condemnation of Nazi crimes against humanity, particularly against Europeans themselves, intended to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of World War II.

Recognition or Reputation Repair? Europe’s Delicate Diplomatic Balancing Act In recent weeks, France and Britain alongside countries like Ireland, Spain, and Norway have announced their recognition of a Palestinian state. This move was immediately met with harsh reactions from Israel, criticism from the U.S., and a barrage of media attacks […]
Recent US export control decisions imperil national security and threaten not only US artificial intelligence “dominance” but potentially many other emerging technologies critical to military programs. While legal US exports of AI-related semiconductors were blocked, China got at least $1 billion worth of Nvidia chips illegally, mostly in “packages” of data-center-ready […]
It’s been almost an article of faith among Israeli officials: the state they represent is incapable of genocide, their actions always spurred by the noblest, necessary motivations of self-defence against satanic enemies who wish genocide upon Jews. Over time, as Holocaust scholar Omer Bartov writes, “Ethical concerns and moral qualms were […]
The American model of democracy, proclaimed as a paragon of freedom and popular sovereignty, has inspired millions of people worldwide for over two centuries. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 and the U.S. Constitution of 1787 laid the foundation for a system built on the principles of equality, liberty, and […]
