"What We Lost in the Skies Above Tehran"
HENNING LAHMANN (@hlahmann.bsky.social) on Germany’s failure to uphold international law – and why it’s not the breach of international law that threatens normative stability, but how the international community responds.

I believe that we need to keep talking about what German leaders (and media) have been doing over the past 20 months, and we have an obligation to hold them accountable. My piece mostly concerns the attacks against Iran and not the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza, but ofc it’s all connected.

Do US liberals not pause to think about the rest of the world when they outragedly emphasise the CITIZEN part? Let me tell you how it sounds: it sounds like you think murdering mere foreigners is not that big a deal, something you are prepared to maybe forgive a little bit of from a Democrat presdnt
Did anyone actually vote to have masked Federal agents hold US citizens down and shoot them in the back?

There are few things more disturbing than witnessing the government gun down your fellow citizen on a city street. The more Democrats share video of this, the more they alienate reasonable centrists.

My text on genocide denial in German discourse, first published with @pw-portal.bsky.social, now also appeared in English on @hahauenstein.bsky.social's Substack "Nullpunkt". I explore five types of denial as a synchronous and diachronous repertoire of rejecting the genocide claim vis-à-vis Israel.

Maaike saying everything that needs to be said
"Maduro is bad, but..." comments are so bothersome. It is illegal, disastrous and will cost many lives.
Imagine killing 1000s of US people and Bsky going "Trump is bad but this should not have been done".
It is irrelevant. You are legitimising the narrative this way & minimising the deaths.
