"As Deleuze and Guattari wrote, fascism in the 1930s was not fundamentally a problem of ignorance: ‘The masses were not innocent dupes; at a certain point, under a certain set of conditions, they wanted fascism, and it is this perversion of the desire of the masses that needs to be accounted for.’"

Israeli public broadcaster Kan reports that despite receiving permission from France to use its airspace as Netanyahu traveled to the US for his UNGA appearance, he avoided European airspace as much as possible, flying as south as possible, due to his fear of being grounded and then arrested.

According to French daily Le Figaro, President Emmanuel Macron and his government are considering closing the Israeli consulate in Paris, expelling members of Israel's intelligence services from France, and opening up a French embassy in Ramallah in response to any Israeli action against France.

A map of the Israeli proposal to Syria was released by an American think tank, it has Israel -Staying in the Golan. -Staying in Mount Hermon. -Expanding the buffer zone in Quneitra. And would have Syria also concede to -Daraa demilitarized. -Suwayda no-fly zone for the Syrian Air Force.

Netanyahu förbereder Israel på långvarig internationell isolering och säger att landet måste bli ett "super-Sparta": “We’re going to be Athens and super Sparta combined. We have no choice, at least for the coming years when we’ll be required to deal with these isolation attempts”.

”Odjur”, ”antisemiter” och ”terror i vardagen”. Så beskrivs gårdagens demonstration utanför en judisk skola av svenska toppolitiker. Nu kan Flamman visa att den riktade sig mot en kontroversiell proisraelisk organisation, som bjudit in en IDF-soldat att föreläsa.

Egypten kommer att föreslå grundandet av ett arabiskt Nato vid nästa möte med arabländerna. Vem kunde ana att Israels attacker skulle få geopolitiska konsekvenser? www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Senior Egyptian officials say that Cairo has uncovered Israeli plans to target Hamas leaders in Cairo and has warned Israel that any attack will be treated as a declaration of war.

Bra att länder står upp för sin suveränitet och inte lägger sig platt för dessa aggressioner

EU-kommissionen föreslår bl.a. ett partiellt upphävande av associeringsavtalet med Israel och sanktioner mot extremistiska ministrar och bosättare. Von der Leyen uppmuntrar dessutom medlemsländer att gå längre i isoleringen av Israels regering än vad som är möjligt inom ramen för EU-samarbetet.

Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz and Gilad Kariv all praise the attacks on Qatar. Every Zionist camp opposition party in Israel more or less just agrees with the government on the principles of regional escalation lol:

Inför morgondagens val recenserar jag ett passionerat försök av @olainnset.bsky.social att rädda den norska välfärdsstaten från att gå samma öde till mötes som den svenska

Good summary of recent Israeli policy: ”There have been few such explosive bids for regional dominance since the upsurge of Imperial Japan, annexing Korea, Taiwan and southern Manchuria—or, perhaps, South Africa’s ‘total strategy’ in the 1970s and 80s, targeting Angola, Namibia and Mozambique.”

A Sino-European green entente in ecological war with the Axis of petro-states (US, Russia, Saudiarabia)? A weird and daunting prospect which, by the look of how things are going, somehow seems like the best one could hope for at the moment foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/01/e...

Norge och Danmark har haft en uppsjö av mer eller mindre lyckade vänsterpartier – till den grad att båda i dag har två röda partier till vänster om Socialdemokraterna. Men i Sverige verkar de nya vänsterpartierna aldrig riktigt ta fart. @jonaselvander.bsky.social djupdyker i varför.

I don't necessarily disagree, but to list all the wars Russia lost as an argument for why it should lose now is not serious. Among the cherries not picked: WW2 (remember that?), the Napoleonic and all 18th century wars (there's a reason Putin models himself on Peter the Great). This is history abuse

Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners since 7 Oct is comparable to the worst dictatorships on earth. - the number keeps growing, and is now around 11k - close to 90% are held without trial - starvation as policy - rampant torture - dozens died in prison, no accountability

"Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare." www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Nyckelmeningen i artikeln: "Among Israelis, Haliva is widely seen as a centrist critic of the current government and its far-right ministers such as Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, as the general himself noted in the broadcast comments."

Israeli media reports that the cabinet is gearing up to instruct the IDF to occupy all parts of the Gaza Strip. The implications are a severe escalation of the carnage, starvation, and ethnic cleansing. UK+EU sanctions should preempt this catastrophe - not respond to it belatedly.

"Varför försöker Gazaborna inte föra sin kamp fredligt?"

That EU trade deal? Says the EU: "The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. [T]he EU and the US will further negotiate…to fully implement the political agreement. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
