Germany and France want to squash the Europe's foreign service @eu_eeas ⚡️ Europe is now debating structures, mandates, reorganisation. The debate should be about Europe's foreign policy compass ⤵️

Europe's stated foreign policy mission: consolidate democracy and rule of law, promote human rights and fundamental freedoms 🇪🇺 Its leaders congratulate autocrats on tenure. ➡️ This debate about the foreign service reorganisation is a distraction from that failure.

What might be the cherry on the cake is the “thank you darling” at the end, said with such disdain, disrespect and disregard to a prominent and highly respected journalist. @kwelkernbc
This interview hurt my soul. The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is down right embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked or stupid. She is a history making journalist who has earned the right to be respected. The President should apologize immediately.

We really value politicians involved on climate, environment and human rights 🌻 What @coe is truly problematic: in an article about the 1st Forum on Environmental Human Rights Defenders, it names, credits, recognises no human rights defender. Only mentioning officials ⚠️

Here's the article we're refering to: coe.int/en/web/portal/-/firs… Crediting environmental human rights defenders is one of the most important, and easy, first protection step. ➡️ Check out more on the subject: progresschange.org/human-rig…

Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze makes a point 🎯 Why hold the Georgian Dream government accountable for violations of rule of law and human rights, whilst allowing Azerbaijan to continue a decade long repression? #DoubleStandard doesn't help anybody uphold democracy.
Prime Minister of #Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze, commenting on relations with the United States, said that “Washington has built a new level of partnership with #Armenia and #Azerbaijan without imposing any political conditions on these neighboring countries - neither the release of prisoners nor anything else, not even regarding the opposition. No conditions at all.” He added that if the U.S. applies different approaches to countries in the region, “it will be regrettable”: “If they see double standards, that will be double standards, and it will be very sad.” Kobakhidze again said the reason for the breakdown of what was once a very close strategic partnership between Tbilisi and Washington was that the previous U.S. administration (under President Joe Biden) allegedly wanted Georgia to “open a second front” and enter a war with Russia. When Georgia refused, cooperation was halted, he claimed. Now, the Georgian prime minister says Georgia expects a fair approach from the U.S. and the restoration of relations without political bias. In recent days, representatives of the U.S. State Department Charles Yocke and Peter Andreoli have been visiting Georgia, holding meetings with both government officials and representatives of the opposition and civil society.

“Oman will behave like everybody else or we’ll have to blow them up.” Shared on the official account of the State Department ⚡️⤵️
PRESIDENT TRUMP: The Strait is going to be open to everybody. It’s international waters. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. Oman will behave like everybody else or we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that.

'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.' - Hannah Arendt
עד עכשיו הצליחו לוחמי שייטת 13, צה"ל חיל הים ומשרד החוץ, להשתלט על המשט לעזה בלי פרובוקציות מיותרות- ואז הגיע בן גביר. בתיעוד שהפיץ בעצמו נראה בן גביר מסתובב בין פעילי משט כפותים, נדרשים לשכב על הרצפה, כשהשר "לביטחון לאומי" קורא לעברם "אנחנו בעלי הבית". כמה נזק האיש הזה מייצא בשביל פרובוקציה בשקל ותשומת לב.

“Loyalty outranks law”. Spoken like a true autocrat.
Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers? Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.
