It is well documented that Netanyahu is motivated by a similar logic. As long as the country is at war, he will remain at the helm and be able to delay or even cancel his long-awaited corruption trial — so why bother ending it?

The worst backdoor in the history of open source software was narrowly avoided just days ago.
Had this gone undetected, vast sections of the linux ecosystem would've become vulnerable to being hacked and taken over by a bad actor that to this day remains totally unknown.
The XZ Backdoor is believe me - one hell of a rabbit hole, so rather than going into detail on one specific thing, this video is more of an overview on the whole campaign beginning to end.
From Anti-Israel and Anti-Zionist Campaigns - ADL
While criticism of Israeli policies and actions is part of that discourse, certain forms of anti-Israel rhetoric and activism delegitimize Israel and its existence, and are antisemitic when they vilify and negate Zionism – the movement for Jewish self-determination and statehood – or utilize anti-Jewish tropes or hold all Jews responsible for Israel’s actions.
- They try to portray zionism this way in order to legitimize settler colonialism, and equate anti-zionism with antisemitism. Historically this chance was lost well over a century ago. See quote above from Jewish Voice for Peace and their site for details.
- Check out the Ben Gurion and the critic he got from Bundists. If you like videos, this one is pretty informative:
The History of "Socialist" Zionism | Leftist Zionists did the Nakba & founded Israel - If you like text you could take a look at:
The Neglected History of the State of Israel - The Revisionist faction of Zionism that ended up triumphing adhered to literal fascist doctrines and traditions.
Intersectionality is a great analytical tool. Jewish Voice for Peace found themselves to be in the intersection of being both Jewish and anti-zionists. German government policies and often German people (even from the left or antifa), fail take this intersection into consideration.
But do we really need this analytical tool for this topic? When a person knows the historical relation between zionism and fascism, why would they support zionists or zionist policies?
I thought it would be important to include the following link:
Jewish Voice for Peace - Our Approach to Zionism
While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.
Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. Zionism has meant profound trauma for generations, systematically separating Palestinians from their homes, land, and each other. Zionism, in practice, has resulted in massacres of Palestinian people, ancient villages and olive groves destroyed, families who live just a mile away from each other separated by checkpoints and walls, and children holding onto the keys of the homes from which their grandparents were forcibly exiled.
The country responsible for arguably the biggest crime in history does not want to be seen as suppressing Jewish voices
> > > Germany finds itself in a situation where it is being asked to side with some Jews against others. > > > > The headline was thought up by the activist organization Jewish Voice for Peace which says its account with a Berlin bank has been frozen — and not for the first time. The group claims that the German police “have been politically persecuting us as a Jewish organization for some time,” and that it “will not be intimidated by this… arbitrary, politically motivated freezing of our account, which is unacceptable in a democracy.” > >
If you feel like you can take a look at Jewish Voice for Peace they are the once targeted as antisemitic due to the fact they are anti-zionist. It's not complicated, it is portrayed this way.
Anyone that knows anything about ADL knows they are not reliable whatsoever
Of course. Still, even if someone knows nothing about ADL, by making a simple search with the keywords "ADL zionism" they will have the relevant page that confirms they are zionists. I won't add this link, but I will add the link of:

Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. (...)
I think it's important that this article mentions this nonsensical movement called effective altruism.
> > > Israeli forces shot dead a 13-year-old Palestinian boy during a raid in the occupied West Bank > >
> > > A report was later received regarding a Palestinian minor who was killed, the military said. > "The circumstances of the incident are under review," it said in a statement to Reuters. > >
It’s right there in the headline
Oh the title. I read the article after a sneak-pick at the comment section and yours made me wonder to the point I did the ctr+f thingy.
Well, the title has a quite different quote and that’s what makes all the difference due to the historic reference. I think if you don’t like the title, you should hate the article because of what it is describing in relation to what is happening in Germany to Jewish people, and not about how this article title is written.
Do you deny that Jewish people suffer again on German ground, due to German policies using the argument of defending zionism?
Do you deny that zionism is historically related to fascism?
[edit: oops I thought I was replying to @Tarte and not @rimjob_rainer. Well the questions are for both of you or anyone who cares to answer them. Just to note that suffering is a spectrum. I am not claiming that Genocide is happening again in Germany, but people being targeted to the point of having their bank accounts frozen is a punitive measure to make people suffer]

When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually are objective and cover both sides fairly, such as this: IDF strikes fresh Hamas targets after 2nd rocket fired from Gaza Strip. However, during the conflict of 2023, they were less objective, focusing on the objectives of the Israeli military. In general, the Times of Israel is factual with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.
This is not a joke, just check it out.
"seizing money" = temporarily frozen bank account until a legal dispute is settled
I didn't find this term in the text (ctrl+f). Why do you have it in quotes?
Apart from that nowadays if a bank freezes a person's account, it's really hard to live/survive in many places in this world and Germany is one of them. Unless you use crypto, and not everybody does.
"Germany" = a German bank
Banks often freeze accounts in order to follow governmental policies, often of protesters. Meaning, one way or another this move is backed by the government.
A Georgia judge ruled the state Republican party official violated election laws by voting in elections while on felony probation.
(...) Each one of these Palestinian prisoners has been processed by Israel’s military court system, which exists completely separate from the civilian court system that Jewish Israelis interact with. This system and the military orders that govern it have their origins in the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967.
In this video, two experts explain Israel’s military court system, why it’s been a focus of outcry from human rights organizations, and why hostage negotiations have historically involved the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

- In relation to the NYT article’s that says:
Since Oct. 7, Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel on a near-daily basis.
It doesn’t mention where this statement is based upon.

The other 2 are from Israeli press, so there’s not much to trust there.

The CNN one is not related to my question

Why are Israeli soldiers uploading photos of themselves inside Gazan homes or with Palestinian detainees to their dating profiles?
