@Heidentweet Israel's ties with Europe's right-wing now make perfect sense. This is how Europe can target its Muslim communities (it clearly won't stop with deporting any anti-war protesters) while hiding behind a manufactured "war against antisemitism". While busy genociding in #Gaza, Israel gives Western nations the 'moral' permission to implement policies that would have been unthinkable after #WWII and the #Holocaust.

Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident (1943)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Brown_and_Franz_Stigler_incident
1932: “As the numbers of extremists grew, life seemed to diminish. “What was no longer to be found [..] was pleasure in life, amiability, fun, understanding, goodwill, generosity, and a sense of humor.”
Excerpt From
Hitler's First Hundred Days
Peter Fritzsche
p. 45 One
“When Chancellor Heinrich Brüning’s government declared a long bank holiday on July 13, 1931, after a run on the banks following the collapse of the Darmstädter and Nationalbank, the economic crisis began to hit home. There was a “9% salary reduction” for civil servants [..] and higher value-added taxes for consumers"
Excerpt From
Hitler's First Hundred Days
Peter Fritzsche
“Do you remember,[..]that Döblin* said that time is a butcher and that all of us are running away from the butcher’s knife? Well that’s me, and that’s all of us. You too. I’ll run until I fall. But until I fall, I want to live.”
*novelist Alfred Döblin, 1929 novel 'Berlin Alexanderplatz'

The son of a Japanese soldier killed in the battle is continuing efforts to collect the remains of the war dead on the Pacific island. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/30/japan/iwo-jima-war-dead-remains-world-war-ii/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #iwojima #wwii #wardead
Isn't this interesting. During Hitler's rise 'the price of eggs'..“People bitch like lunatics but are Nazis nonetheless.” In this case, the sounds of hostility were not reliable indicators.”

From this article that Martin posted to show why it is important that #Trouw publishes the names of the 50.000 people killed by #Israel:
Trouw was started during #WWII by members of the Dutch Protestant resistance. 100s of people involved were arrested and killed during the war.
In 1944 the German forces tried to stop publication by imprisoning some 23 of the couriers. The editors did not give in and all of the captured couriers were executed.
U.S. Secretary of State Pete Hegseth visited Ioto, the far-flung Japanese island known widely as Iwo Jima, on Saturday for an event honoring those who died in bloody fighting there 80 years ago during World War II. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/29/japan/politics/us-japan-ioto-iwo-jima-ceremony/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #iwojima #ioto #defense #us #usjapanrelations #usmilitary #wwii #history #sdf #defenseministry #gennakatani #petehegseth #shigeruishiba
