ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant Over Alleged War Crimes
Here Netanyahu is comparing his situation with the Dreyfus case in late 19th C France, which was a notorious example of antisemitism. This Netanyahu subterfuge is an example of a strategy that has been going on for around 10 years to make criticism of Israel and antisemitism synonymous. The first example in the US were attempts to suppress student speech on California state university campuses. Not long after the IHRA definition of antisemitism became the core of an international campaign to suppress criticism of Israel, especially its treatment of Palestinians. The motives are not lost by vigilant people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_definition_of_antisemitism#Criticism Besides this Criticism section, the section "United States" has the following: "An attempt to enshrine the definition in US federal law in 2024 encountered strong opposition, with 1,200 Jewish academics opposing the move as a dangerous conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism that would threaten freedom of speech.Their open letter asserted that '(c)riticism of the state of Israel, the Israeli government, policies of the Israeli government, or Zionist ideology is not — in and of itself — antisemitic." Here is the location to find the IHRA definition: https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism The campaign is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_combating_antisemitism_envoys Some countries where antisemitism is a serious problem started the ball rolling as early as 2004 (US) and the EU followed in 2015. The Israeli Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism, Michal Cotler-Wunsh, said on CNN last Sunday that there were around 35 such envoys. I thought that she meant Israeli envoys: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/17/world/video/gps1117-rising-antisemitism-and-the-amsterdam-attacks This story was built around the events in Amsterdam, where viral video was initially claimed to be locals attacking Maccabi fans, but the creators of the videos later reported that these were scenes of Maccabi fans attacking locals. NL has a far-right government which was quick to accuse their own Muslim citizens! -

DTV and 5-year driver's license
Ok, so I went to the Pattaya office, it's true. You will only get a 2 year renewal of your old 2 year licence on a DTV. You WILL NOT get a 5 year licence. DO NOT believe the OP if you have a DTV and are using Banglamung office for your renewal. -

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
It would be more accurate to say that NATO has been 'drawn' Eastward. The first aim of the newly free Eastern countries was to do everything they could to avoid being dominated by SU/Russia again. That was a strong motivation for joining NATO and the EU. That's the key reason: no neighbouring country (unless ruled by an autocrat) is attracted by the failed Russian model. Russia is not attractive, it's repulsive!- 1
