For the last 10 years Syria has been a Member-State of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and has undertaken obligations to get rid of all facilities and stockpiles of these horrendous means of destruction. The OPCW has a cumbersome mechanism of inquiries, fact-finding, investigations and reports. So while it was obvious to objective outside observers that the Assad regime had no qualms using gas on rebels and civilians alike, Damascus managed to get away with murderous attack, regardless of periodic inspections and protests. Following the most recent report by the OPCW Director-General, Spanish Ambassador Fernando Arias, what is the current status of suspected Syrian Chemical weapons?

An alliance of 11 NGOs from the US, Canada, Europe, and Israel is urging American platform Stripe to terminate its donation services to the Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ), a US-based organization.
AfGJ is the fiscal sponsor for a group called Samidoun, which has been widely recognized as a proxy front of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization in the US, Canada, the European Union, and Israel.
In the face of rising global antisemitism, many nations have endorsed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. Yet, paradoxically, several of these very countries are also financially supporting NGOs that contest this definition.
NGO Monitor, a Jerusalem-based think tank, conducted a recent study that casts a spotlight on this contradiction.

Zionism emerged at the end of the 19th century as an organized movement – with members, elected officials, a program, and all the other trappings of a political, diplomatic, and practical apparatus, including fundraising.
Zionism set an agenda for the Jewish people, inspired, motivated, and confirmed by the history of the Jewish people – its writings and prayers, and the constant attempts of individuals and groups to return to the Land of Israel, the Jewish homeland – despite their loss of independence and sovereignty throughout the centuries.
Iran is pressing its proxy group to attack Israel along its northern border, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told the United Nations Secretary-General as he urged him to ensure that the organization’s peacekeeping force is empowered to monitor the situation.
"The potential for escalation on the northern border is increasing following a blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty” by Hezbollah’s military build-up,” Gallant said.

Was hat die Politik des Staates Israel im Kulturprogramm des Friedensfests verloren? Wer trägt sie dort hinein? Und wieso kann eine Person, die der antisemitischen BDS-Kampagne nahesteht, einen Vortrag in einer öffentlichen Einrichtung der Stadt Augsburg halten?
