After sustained political attacks on UNRWA, the AfD is now extending the same suspicion framework ICRC. This is not just another budget inquiry. It applies a security logic previously used against NGOs to a core humanitarian institution protected under international humanitarian law.

1/3 In the past 24 hours, Israel killed over 100 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 40 children.
Such a massacre would have shaken global opinion to the core just a few years ago, but after 2 years of genocide, it now seems commonplace, and the world has become anesthetized>

Every month, I come across a story I wish I had included in the latest SRM edition. This month’s missed one: Germany continues to procure arms and defense systems from Israel — this time IAI’s ZD (Zibar) vehicles for its Special Forces.

Both the Blair Plan and the Trump Plan lack legitimacy.
Blair’s plan: tainted by his Middle East record—think Iraq war and a failed 8 yrs as Quartet head.
Trump’s plan: on a whole other level—entirely U.S.-led, with only token participation, and backed by brute power rather than consent.
