⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fire in the Holy Land is a sharp, uncompromising analysis of October 7 and its aftermath. No slogans, no excuses. It shows how antisemitism adapts, hides, and normalizes itself in Western discourse. Essential reading. #October7 #Antisemitism #Israel

Solidarity deserves honesty.
If a movement exists because of secular rights,
it’s worth asking what happens when it supports belief systems that don’t share those foundations.
Pointing out contradictions isn’t hostility.
It’s responsibility.

Deutschland hat kein Wissensproblem.
Es hat ein Mutproblem.
Alle sehen die Brüche:
Migration. Staatsversagen. Meinungsdruck.
Gesprochen wird erst, wenn es nichts kostet.
Geklatscht wird viel. Gestanden nie.
Ich schreibe trotzdem.

Climate change debates often focus on governments and corporations. But one part remains uncomfortable: consumption.
Fast fashion, cheap imports, short product cycles — all sold as progress.
Climate responsibility starts with what we buy.

Sharp, unsettling, and necessary. The Tolerance Trap, by Dirk Kirschberger, shows how moral language and historical guilt shut down debate in modern democracies. Calm, rigorous, and intellectually brave. A book that makes you think instead of react.
