I Sverige finns ca 8,3 miljoner vuxna varav ca 5,3 miljoner är i sysselsättning. Regeringen, med dess återkommande retoriska signalerade, verkar tämligen konstant nedprioritera övriga i såväl ord som politik. Regeringen har också aviserat att sammantaget låna ca 600 miljarder >

Häpnadsväckande att hävda att ökad konsumtion genererar framtidstro. Gäller t ex inte för dem som uppfattar kopplingen till kilmat- och miljöpåverkan eller för dem som överhuvudtaget följer nyhetsrapporteringen.

Not just between Armenia and Aber-Baysian; now this. No wonder he manages to be a peacemaker in so many conflicts. We just weren't aware they all existed.

The joint military exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean might benefit the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) even if this isn't a declared intent. Their mere presence can provide deterrence.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention was founded with the ambition to fill a gap in the global prevention protocols. The Institute evolved from the Iraq Project for Genocide Prevention and Accountability, which was launched in 2017. It now makes the below statement regarding Gaza:

#Iraq sent message to US Wants guarantee that Iraq will not be attacked and that US will follow withdrawal timelines www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraq...

Norway and a large majority of UN member states take a stand to allow PA and PLO to attend UNGA. Remember Syrian President al-Sharaa, whom the US has just delisted from being Specially Designated Global Terrorist, will attend and address the UNGA.

Watching American TV personalities like Jimmy Kimmel use the Trump administration as working material, the assessment was that this was in the cards.

Sorry, it's Aber-Baysian. My mistake.

Very grateful to President Trump for solving the conflict between Aberzan and Albania. Never seen anything like it.

Ryktet om fikakulturen på UD är tämligen överdrivet. #politikbyrån

The UN Commission of Inquiry (COI) on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel: Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Absent a court judgment, findings of UN COIs are the most conclusive, thus we should read these findings thoroughly. www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

That Trump would approve Israel’s bombing Qatar, despite all the above, reduces the incentive to host US military bases. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the product of approximately $8 billion USD in Qatari investment. Not cheap. Yet they’re being bombed w/ US approval regardless.

During the Swedish Prime Minister's government statement today for the new parliamentary year, continued efforts to release Dawit Isaak and Gui Minhai was brought up, however Ahmadreza Djalali was not mentioned. Why?

"Idag står vi med en av de svagaste ledare vi någonsin har haft som inte kan kalla ut vad det faktiskt är som pågår framför ögonen på oss. Och vi står dessutom med en Ebba Busch som säger att Israel gör världen en tjänst."

Tareq Taylor, med påbrå från Palestina, höll ett brandtal för mänskliga rättigheter, för ett Sverige som under Palmes tid stod på barrikaderna och mot den svenska regeringen som sviker. "Skämmes, Ulf Kristersson", avslutade han.

On top of the 9 measures against Israel announced today by Spain - incl arms embargo, closing airspace to aircraft carrying weapons/ammunition to Israel, ban on vessels with fuel for the Israeli army from Spanish ports - Spain recalls its ambassador from Israel after being accused of antisemitism.

Israel said it would ramp up airstrikes on Gaza in a 'mighty hurricane,' to serve as a last warning to Hamas that it will destroy the enclave unless fighters accept a demand from US President Donald Trump to free all hostages and surrender reut.rs/3JRQVZR

Yesterday, the Global Sumud Flotilla (and Greta Thunberg) reached the Sidi Bou Said port, Tunisia, and was met by large crowds. In a few days they will resume their journey to Gaza. (Pics and videos from a friend attending)

Woman, Life, Freedom: The women imprisoned by Iran “When simply opposing the death penalty is considered propaganda against the state, then execution itself is a political tool of intimidation." Last month, Hasti Amiri, another woman fighting for basic rights, was sentenced to prison.

"Herzog has received particular attention for a statement he made where he asserted that all Palestinians in Gaza were 'unequivocally' responsible for the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023." Herzog is now reportedly to visit London next week.

Open Letter Calling for immediate implementation of EU measures against Israel’s unlawful actions in Gaza & the West Bank, co-signed by 209 former EU and Member State Ambassadors and Senior Staff

Israeli military said preliminary investigation revealed Golani Brigade forces targeted a surveillance camera near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, which Hamas had installed. The so-called most impressive military in the world killed 20 people in the following attacks.

There should be SC Chapter VII Resolution. There should be an international Gaza mission (as suggested by Macron). There should be a Coalition of the Willing for Gaza.

Isn't it about time for a Coalition of the Willing for Gaza?

Joint statement on behalf of 27 countries on foreign media access to Gaza: "[W]e, the undersigned members of the Media Freedom Coalition, urge Israel to allow immediate independent foreign media access and afford protection for journalists operating in Gaza."

"Israels krigföring systematiskt förstör den palestinska utbildningssektorn.[...] Det handlar om en utplåning av palestinsk forskning, utbildning, kunskapsbildning och historieskrivning. Det handlar om sönderbombade universitet, dödade forskare, förstörda arkiv och tystad kunskap."

"The root cause is Hamas' attack on the civilian population. There is no doubt about that. [...] Whoever forgets to say this has other intentions with their criticism. Let us not forget that." Remarkable statements, devoid of historical contexts, from Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson

'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.'

"Grundorsaken finns i Hamas attack på civilbefolkningen. Det är ingen tvekan om den saken.[...] Den som glömmer att säga det har andra avsikter med sin kritik. Låt oss inte glömma det." Häpnadsväckande (och historielösa) uttalanden från statsminister Ulf Kristersson

GBV continues to be a grave problem in Iraq. The death of Dr Ban Ziyad has sparked outrage. And, of course, there after are others. "For years, the string of killings and mutilation of women and girls in Iraq has been dismissed by the authorities as isolated incidents." 1/3

Might be justified to place Israel under Chapter 7 at this point.

"The 672-tonne Kiruna Kyrka, a Swedish Lutheran church inaugurated in 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, at a pace of half-a-kilometre an hour." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The destruction of #Gaza by Israel continues, with nearly 200.000 structures damaged or destroyed, according to the latest @UNOSAT / @UNHABITAT analysis. With over 60 million tons of rubble, and most of the agricultural land gone, Gaza is made unhabitable unhabitat.org/sites/defaul...

"Det fanns en tid när andra länder visste vad Sverige tyckte och tänkte i olika frågor. Där Sverige var känt för humanism och medmänsklighet. [...] Det pågår en katastrof i Gaza, men den svenska regeringen agerar inte alls. De är tysta tills EU säger något, och då säger de 'så tycker vi också.'"

Interesting schedule. Sincerely hope that President Zelenskyj will also participate in the multilateral meeting at 3:00 PM.

Uppdate: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, France's Marcon, Germany's Merz, Italy's Meloni and Finland's Alexander Stubb will all be joining Zelensky for his meeting with Trump.

So far, media reports say that Merz, Macron, and von der Leyen will meet with Trump along with Zelensky tomorrow. More European leaders should join in.
