The U.N. human rights office says in a report published Friday that the establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem amount to a war crime.

The report covers the one-year period from Nov. 1, 2022, to Oct. 31, 2023, when it says roughly 24,300 housing units in existing settlements in the West Bank were “advanced” — the highest number in a year since monitoring began in 2017. It deplored an increase in the building of new settlement homes in recent months.[...]

Reports this week that Israel plans to build nearly 3,500 settler homes in three areas "fly in the face of international law,” he said.

Türk said the creation and expansion of settlements amount to the transfer by Israel of its own population into territories that it occupies, “which amounts to a war crime under international law,” his office said in a statement.

Israel's diplomatic mission in Geneva, which regularly accuses Türk's office of overlooking violence by Palestinian extremists against Israelis, said the report “totally ignored” what it said was the deaths of 36 Israelis and injuries of nearly 300 others in attacks due to “Palestinian terrorism” last year.

New Car

Peter was aware of how stupid it was to meet with the seller of the car. It was an almost new BMW M3. The car was still going to cost over USD 100,000.00. That was way out of his budget. But there was something that appealed to him even more than the car itself. In a photo, the owner had been reflected in the car's freshly polished paintwork. And Peter couldn't get this reflection out of his head. You couldn't see much. But what you could see was muscular, tattooed and wearing a shiny Adidas tracksuit. Peter couldn't get this image out of his head for the life of him. So he dialed the number given. And when he heard the voice on the other end of the line, he got a hard-on. It was churlish English with a heavy Arabic accent. Peter was actually on the phone to one of his favorite wankers. Bloody hell! He tried to act as cool as possible. He tried to ask a few questions that feigned competence in the direction of sports cars. He was trying to come across as cool and chavvy as possible. He probably sounded more than ridiculous. But the two of them arranged to go for a test drive. After the salesman hung up, Peter urgently needed to go to the bathroom. And have a wank.

The appointment for the test drive was on Friday evening. Peter took the bus to the address given, which was located in a suburb with a bad reputation. There was garbage on the streets. There was graffiti on the walls. But the cars parked on the street were in many cases like something from another world. Expensive, high-powered cars, perfectly maintained. And he was leaning against one of them. The prototype of an Arab chav who spent too much time pumping iron and in the tattoo parlor. Peter had to make sure his erection wasn't too obvious. The guy introduced himself as Ibrahim and greeted Peter with a fist bump. He said that Peter wasn't allowed to smoke in the car and offered him a fag. And instead of saying that he didn't smoke at all, Peter gratefully accepted the fag, took a light and walked around the Bavarian beauty, trying to look as professional as possible. "Shit, dude, what's that on your pants?" Damn, Peter must have sat on a piece of chewing gum on the bus. "You're not getting into my car like that," growled Ibrahim. He opened the trunk, took a pair of training pants out of a sports bag and threw them to Peter. "Seriously?" asked Peter. "Here, on the street?" "Either that or you can fuck right off again." So Peter took off his shoes and trousers, put on the tracksuit bottoms and then his…. Nike sneakers??!?!???! He wasn't wearing sneakers. Ibrahim threw him the key. "Come on then, brother. Fall in love with my baby!" Peter sat down and tried to start the engine as cool as possible. When the 510 horses howled, he winced. Ibrahim grinned. "Yes, you have to get used to it. But you will. Go on, drive towards the highway!" The car was hell. An untamed beast. Peter's forehead was covered in sweat. "Come on, old man! Step on the gas!" And Peter stepped on the gas. The speedometer showed 140 miles per hour. Damn, that would cost him his driver's license. And Ibrahim calmly started a conversation about soccer. "Of course Galatasaray will win the championship again this time!" Peter heard himself say and stepped on the gas once more. The BMW was power and strength pressed into leather and steel. He loved the car. As if remote-controlled, he chased the car first along the highway and then at far too high a speed along the arterial road towards the city center. The sleeve of his jacket stretched across his biceps as he wrenched the steering wheel. Ibrahim pressed himself into his sports seat. "Hehehe, you and the baby make the perfect unit!" "Dostum, ne düşünüyorsun? Gerçek Türk erkeklerinin kanında petrol vardır." replied Peter. No, not Peter, Sinan! Ibrahim turned up the music. Syrian gangster rap. Just the right thing to cruise along the city center boulevards now. it was a warm evening. Ibrahim opened the glass roof. He let his mighty biceps hang out of the open window. The boys and girls looked respectful, envious or disgusted when Sinan revved the engine. But in any case, they looked: Who gives a shit, they had the coolest car, they were the cool guys with the biggest muscles. "Dude, get some cigs and then change drivers," said Ibrahim Sinan. And Sinan headed for the nearest kiosk.

Sinan would never be able to afford such a car in his life. Even though he was number two in the gang behind Ibrahim, his place was usually in the passenger seat. But fuck it, Ibrahim was his boss and he followed him through rough and tumble. Ibrahim's hand missed the stick of the gearshift. But he caught something that was at least as hard. Shit, if he cums on the leather, Sinan would spend the whole morning cleaning the car again. But it was worth it.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk declared Wednesday that "the collective punishment by Israel of Palestinian civilians amounts... to a war crime, as does the unlawful forcible evacuation of civilians."

Israel's monthlong war on Gaza has killed over 10,500 Palestinians, wounded thousands more, displaced 70% of the strip's 2.3 million residents, and decimated civilian infrastructure, including homes, religious buildings, and hospitals.

Türk's comments came after he visited the Rafah border crossing that connects Egypt to Gaza, which he described as "the gates to a living nightmare—a nightmare where people have been suffocating, under persistent bombardment, mourning their families, struggling for water, for food, for electricity and fuel."

Long before October 7, when a Hamas-led attack killed over 1,400 Israelis and triggered Israel's retaliation, Gaza was "described as the world's biggest open-air prison... under a 56-year occupation and a 16-year blockade by Israel," he highlighted.

"Even in the context of a 56-year-old occupation, the current situation is the most dangerous in decades, faced by people in Gaza, in Israel, in the West Bank, but also regionally."

The U.N. rights chief also stressed that "the atrocities perpetrated by Palestinian armed groups... were heinous, brutal, and shocking. They were war crimes—as is the continued holding of hostages." Israeli officials say there are about 240 hostages.

"We have fallen off a precipice. This cannot continue," he warned. "Even in the context of a 56-year-old occupation, the current situation is the most dangerous in decades, faced by people in Gaza, in Israel, in the West Bank, but also regionally."

Türk emphasized that "parties to the conflict have the obligation to take constant care to spare the civilian population and civilian objects," and as an occupying power, Israel is required "to ensure a maximum of basic necessities of life can reach all who need it."

"I call—as a matter of urgency—for the parties now to agree [to] a cease-fire on the basis of three critical human rights imperatives: We need urgent delivery of massive levels of humanitarian aid, throughout Gaza," he declared.

The official also called for all hostages to be freed without condition and said that "crucially, we need to enable the political space to implement a durable end to the occupation, based on the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis to self-determination and their legitimate security interests.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres—who has also been pushing for a cease-fire—called out Israel's aerial and ground operations for their impact on civilians during a Reuters conference on Wednesday.

"There are violations by Hamas when they have human shields. But when one looks at the number of civilians that were killed with the military operations, there is something that is clearly wrong," he said.

"We have in a few days in Gaza thousands and thousands of children killed, which means there is also something clearly wrong in the way military operations are being done," the U.N. leader added.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the Israeli war against Hamas has killed over 4,300 children.

"It is also important to make Israel understand that it is against the interests of Israel to see every day the terrible image of the dramatic humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people," Guterres said. "That doesn't help Israel in relation to the global public opinion."

While French President Emmanuel Macron's plans to hold a Gaza-focused "humanitarian conference" in Paris on Thursday, the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is refusing to participate in the event.

Ahead of the conference, 13 human rights and relief groups called on attendees "to do everything in their power to achieve an immediate cease-fire; take concrete steps to free civilian hostages and protect all civilian populations; and ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and respect for international humanitarian law."

Among them was Amnesty International—which, over the past month, has compiled "damning evidence of war crimes as Israeli attacks wipe out entire families." Some global experts and critics have demanded action from the International Criminal Court on "escalating Israeli war crimes and genocide of the Palestinian people" in Gaza.

In a resignation letter to Türk last month, Craig Mokhiber, who was serving as the New York director for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned Israel's war as "a textbook case of genocide."

"In the immediate term," Mokhiber wrote, "we must work for an immediate cease-fire and an end to the long-standing siege on Gaza, stand up against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank (and elsewhere), document the genocidal assault in Gaza, help to bring massive humanitarian aid and reconstruction to the Palestinians, take care of our traumatized colleagues and their families, and fight like hell for a principled approach in the U.N.'s political offices."

LONDON -- The Islamic Republic of Iran said it executed three men Friday morning on charges of "waging war against God" and collaboration with terrorist groups.

The judiciary's website Mizan claimed that Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi's charges were based on their confessions that they were involved in killing three members of the regime's forces during protests in Isfahan last November.

Protests in Isfahan and other cities across the country erupted in September after 22-year old Mahsa Amini who was arrested for not fully abiding with the mandatory hijab rule of the country died in police custody.

[ Three men Saleh Mirhashemi, Majid Kazemi and Saeed Yaghoubi are pictured at their trial Jan 9, 2023 in Tehran Iran. ]

At least 22,000 people had been arrested across the country in the ensuing protests, as the Islamic Republic News Agency confirmed. Iran Human Rights reported that at least 537 people were killed by the regime which never accepted the responsibility of what happened to Amini.

After Iran's Supreme Court upheld the execution sentences of Kazemi, Mirhashemi and Yaghubi, families of the men executed Friday and members of the Iranian public pleaded with international bodies to take any action to stop the Islamic Republic from carrying out the sentences.

Amnesty International said the men's fast-tracked trial was flawed and the pointed out there were significant procedural flaws, lack of evidence, and torture allegations that were never investigated.

In a last message that the three men reportedly signed and smuggled out of the prison, they asked the public to help them stop the regime from executing them.

"Hello, we ask you dear fellow citizens not to let them kill us. We need your help. We need your support," the message signed on May 17 reads.

In December, Mohsen Shekari was the first person hanged for alleged crimes related to the protests after allegedly holding up traffic and assaulting a guard. Less than a week later, 22-year-old Majid Reza Rahnavard, who had been convicted on charges of "waging war against God" amid protests, was executed.

According to the Iran Human Rights group, 13 executions were recorded on May 18 and at least 90 people have been executed since the start of the month.

United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said on May 9 that Iran is executing a "frighteningly" high number of people, with over 209 executed so far since January.

"On average so far this year, over 10 people are put to death each week in Iran, making it one the world's highest executors," said Türk.

Protests against the regime erupted across the country Friday in response to the executions.

"waging war against God"

This isn't just a curious turn of phrase...

https://quranx.com/5.33

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment

... it's a divine justification for Islamic retribution. The claim that "tHiS hAs nOtHiNg tO dO wItH IsLaM!" slams rather heavily into the brick wall of reality.

“This playground had a castle and a locomotive. Now it has a rocket”, wrote the journalist Alec Luhn on Twitter. In the image he shared on February 27, the motor section of a rocket can be seen embedded inside a children’s playground in the Saltivka district of Kharkiv (CIV0448).

Just two days earlier, a 9M55K rocket was photographed stuck in the ground near a grove of trees just in front of another playground in Saltivka (CIV0460). And again on March 6, the playground of a courtyard in the same block as that referred to in Luhn’s Tweet was struck in the same manner; a rocket was photographed sticking out of the ground just metres away from another train-shaped climbing frame (CIV0266). 

These are just three of the dozens of images of destroyed children’s playgrounds in Ukraine which have been shared online over the past year. It is hard to establish with any certainty whether these playgrounds were attacked deliberately. However, it is clear that they are not being excluded from Russia’s indiscriminate bombardment of Ukraine’s cities, from which the Kharkiv district of Saltivka has suffered particularly badly.

In Ukraine’s cities, children’s playgrounds are often situated in courtyards between large Soviet-era apartment blocks. Even if such rockets do not strike these residential buildings, impacts such as those seen here would also damage cars, local shops, residential buildings and kill or maim passing pedestrians. Detonating cluster munitions would harm civilians over a wide area, regardless of whether the rocket was aimed at a civilian building.

Indeed, the Smerch and Uragan rockets seen in these images are capable of carrying cluster munitions. This weapons system deploys a large number of smaller sub-munitions over a target, which in turn spread and explode over a larger area. This increases the potential for casualties as unsuspecting civilians – including children – trigger the devices.

An example of this risk can be seen last April, when the prosecutor’s office in the Sumy Region shared an image of a rocket lying behind a tree in a playground in the town of Akhtyrka (CIV0754). The spent cargo section, which has deployed its submunitions, can clearly be seen. Submunitions were also attached to the Tochka ballistic missile which struck a playground, residential building and three cars in Mariupol in March (CIV0139)

At the time of writing, Bellingcat’s TimeMap database includes 13 incidents of attacks on children’s playgrounds across Ukraine, including one case from occupied Donetsk in August 2022 (CIV1242) and a cruise missile strike on Shevchenko Park in the very heart of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv in October (CIV1506).

The Human Toll

On February 21, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said in a statement that the agency had verified 8,006 civilian deaths and 13,827 injuries in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion. “Nearly 18 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance and nearly 14 million have been displaced from their homes”. 

Many of these deaths and injuries are documented in Bellingcat’s database. But it is important to note that open source imagery likely represents only a fraction of the harm caused to civilians by Russia’s invasion. 

Other facilities to be struck, and included in Bellingcat’s civilian harm database, include psychiatric hospitals (CIV0445), fire stations (CIV1040), religious (CIV0370) and commercial sites (CIV0894). The prevalence of certain types of imagery online can also reflect what people on the ground in Ukraine feel is most important to share with the wider world. In the case of destroyed playgrounds, they are shared to demonstrate the attackers’ disregard for human life. The reception to Luhn’s Tweet is a case in point.

According to  Yulia Gorbunova, Senior Researcher on Ukraine at Human Rights Watch (HRW), incidents of indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Ukraine could amount to war crimes.

“Under international humanitarian law, parties to an armed conflict must distinguish at all times between civilians and combatants, between civilian objects and military objectives, and take precautions to protect civilians. Failure to observe this principle — either by directly targeting civilians or civilian objects or by conducting indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks — is a war crime when committed deliberately or recklessly. Unlawful and wanton excessive destruction of property that is not militarily justified is also a war crime,” said Gorbunova.

“Additionally, explosive weapons with wide-area effect should not be used in populated areas. Their use heightens the likelihood of unlawful, indiscriminate, and disproportionate attacks and civilian harm, including commuters,” Gorbunova added.

Uganda seems like it is eager to become the Iran or Russia of Africa. You can now get the death penalty for having gay sex in the country.

Uganda’s president, Yoweri Museveni, has signed into law the world’s harshest anti-LGBTQ+ bill, which allows the death penalty for homosexual acts.

The move immediately drew condemnation from many Ugandans as well as widespread international outrage. The UK government said it was appalled by the “deeply discriminatory” bill, which it said will “damage Uganda’s international reputation”.

US President Joe Biden decried the act as “shameful” and “tragic violation of universal human rights”. He said Washington was considering “sanctions and restriction of entry into the United States against anyone involved in serious human rights abuses” – a suggestion that Ugandan officials may face repercussions.

Early on Monday, the speaker of the Ugandan parliament, Anita Annet Among, released a statement on social media confirming Museveni had assented to the law first passed by MPs in March. It imposes the death penalty or life imprisonment for certain same-sex acts, up to 20 years in prison for “recruitment, promotion and funding” of same-sex “activities”, and anyone convicted of “attempted aggravated homosexuality” faces a 14-year sentence.

Described by the UN high commissioner for human rights, Volker Türk, as “shocking and discriminatory”, the bill was passed by all but two of 389 MPs on 21 March. Museveni had 30 days to either sign the legislation into law, return it to parliament for revisions or veto it. He sent it back to MPs in April, with a request for reconsideration. The bill would have still become law without the president’s assent if he returned it a second time.

Museveni has been in power for 37 years. Africa really needs to get serious about term limits for heads of government.

There has been strong condemnation of Museveni. A statement from the UN read: “We are appalled that the draconian and discriminatory anti-gay bill is now law. It is a recipe for systematic violations of the rights of LGBT people and the wider population. It conflicts with the constitution and international treaties and requires urgent judicial review.”

Ashwanee Budoo-Scholtz, Africa deputy director for Human Rights Watch, said: “Museveni’s signing of the anti-homosexuality bill is a serious blow to the right to freedom of expression and association in Uganda, where instead of being restricted they ought to be strengthened.

“The law is discriminatory and is a step in the wrong direction for the protection of human rights for all people in the region.”

Not to minimize any guilt from Museveni's kleptocratic régime, but American far right religious extremists have been trying to do abroad what they haven't managed in the United States. They found fertile ground in Uganda.

U.S. Christian groups spent $280m fighting LGBT+ rights, abortion overseas

Globalizing Hatred

Why is homophobia so strong in Uganda?

From the DW article...

Many of the American evangelists who came to Uganda in the 1990s still live there, says Stella Nyanzi, adding that they poison the discourse: "We have a number of churches where the senior pastor is an American. Pastor Martin Ssempa, one of the most vocal homophobes and one of the biggest mobilizers of the anti-gay movement is married to an American." Priests like Ssempa spread a lot of misinformation in society, she says.

[ ... ]

Church missionaries brought Christianity to the country during British colonial rule, which officially ended in 1962.

The condemnation of homosexuality as "un-African" is pursued with zeal on the African continent, especially in conservative Christian circles — although Christianity is, from a historic point of view, a Western import, too. "While Africans argued that homosexuality was a Western import, they in turn used a Western religion as the basis for their argument," Nigerian LGBTQ activist Bisi Alimi wrote in 2015 in Britain's The Guardian, adding that many people justify their homophobic views by saying that homosexuality is not in the Bible. There is a "real confusion about Africa's past," Alimi concludes.

Because our species originated in Africa, homosexuality existed in Africa before it did anywhere else. So are Museveni, Ssempa, and the other Ugandan hatemongers implying that they come from a different planet?

President Biden condemned the latest Ugandan hate law.

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Enactment of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act

Trump or DeSantis probably would have awarded Museveni a medal.

Deutsche „Willkommenskultur“, wie sie meinem Vater, Christian Maurer, 1992 zuteil wurde:

„Hurra, dachte ich, in Deutschland angekommen, endlich zu Hause!

Bitte - wo?!

Zunächst war da die Schwierigkeit, mein Deutsch-Sein dem deutschen Amtsschimmel klar zu machen! Das war Bedingung number one für die Einbürgerung eines Vertriebenen; genauer: meine Zugehörigkeit zu den sogenannten ‚Volksdeutschen‘ hatte ich zu beweisen, und über diese dann zu der Stammesvielfalt des german people.

Das Unsinn-Wort ‚Volksdeutscher‘ – ein waschechter Pleonasmus stammt aus dem ‚Tausendjährigen‘; hat sich im Sechzigjährigen aber erstaunlich gut erhalten und bewährt.

Nun bedeutet ‚deutsch’, laut Duden, schlicht und einfach ‚Volk‘ oder ‚zum Volk gehörig‘; ein ‚Volksdeutscher‘ wäre also ein ‚Volks-Volker‘, einer, der ‚zum Volk des Volks‘ gehört; klingt struppig, wie?

Luchste ich aber tiefer ins Unwort hinein, dann schwang da etwas mit, das – speziell im Bezug auf das Völkchen dem ich angehöre, – die Siebenbürger Sachsen –, irgendwie ‚Sinn macht‘ (oder Mist); von diesen Leuten nämlich steht zu lesen, sie seien ‚germanissimi germanorum‘ (gewesen), die ‚deutschesten der Deutschen‘.

Volks-Deutsche, oder? Eine bald 900jährige Geschichte belegt es in schmerzlichen Zügen.

Nicht für bundesdeutsche Beamte.

Meine Familie wurde – wie die meisten der Landsleute, die nach der ‚Revolution‘ von 1989 aus Siebenbürgen (Rumänien) in die Bundesrepublik als Spät-Aussiedler kamen – vom Ausgleichsamt gar scheel beäugt, und schräg durchleuchtet.

Resultat: ‚Sie san a Rumäne, vielleicht sogar a kumanischer Wirtschaftsflüchtling, nix Deitscher!‘ wurde mir, nach dem Studium meiner Akte, bedeutet. Abgelehnt.

Ich wies darauf hin, dass (spätestens) aus dem ominösen ‚Ahnenpaß‘ von ’42, den Mutter unter Zittern und Zagen in Siebenbürgen aufbewahrt hatte, hervorgeht, dass die Meinen seit Generationen nichts anders als Deutsche …

‚Des is zwar a respektables Dokument, der Ahnenspaß, aber – was war des Siebenbrücken für a Winkel – ?! War’s deitsch, wia’s Sudetenland? Deitsch, wia unser Behmen?‘

Ich vermeldete beschämt, dass Siebenbürgen immer schon ein Viel-Völker-Ländchen, und eine Zeit lang ein ungarisches Fürstentum unter türkischer Oberhoheit gewesen sei …

‚Da ham mas! Sie san a Türk! A ungarischer Kanak dazu!’

‚Ach, nein, Herr Hammelspringer, das Land ist ungarisch meine Vorfahren aber sind Deutsche gewesen; seit 1141! Seit sie aus Deutschland auswanderten, als Ackerbauern und Handwerker (als Multi-Kulti-Apostel, wenn Sie wollen …), gerufen vom ungarischen König Geza II. …‘

‚Un – mö – glich! A x-beliebiger Deitscher, der wo heutzutag auswandern tut, im: April … sagen mir: nach Amerika …, is im M a i scho a waschechter Ami!

Und Sie behaupten – ?!’

‚Ich behaupte nicht, ich kann’s beweisen!

Unseres leidigen Deutsch-Seins wegen sind wir ja im Wechsel der Jahrhunderte wieder und wieder gepiesackt worden!

Wir haben unter ständigem Vertreibungsdruck ausgeharrt in der mühsam erworbenen Heimat. Unsere Muttersprache haben wir gefiekelt – will sagen: gehegt und gepflegt – wie der Neandertaler sein Feuer. Solange es ging.

Denn sie haben auf uns eingedroschen, angefangen mit den Kumanen und Petschenegen, und wollten uns gar zu ihresgleichen machen, und haben uns malträtiert: die mongolischen Reiter und die Tataren, die Türken, die Russen und die Madjaren, die Waffen-SS und die Valachen – die heute Rumänen heißen …’

‚Hoilt! Wo neman S’ jatz Rumänen her?! I moan, Sie san a Muselman, a ungarischer?‘

‚Nun – 1918, im Frieden von Versailles, ist Siebenbürgen Ungarn ab– , und den Vereinigten rumänischen Fürstentümern zugesprochen worden; und seither heißt das Ganze … România!‘

‚Also, warum sagen S’ des net glei! Romania! Jatz ham mas! Endlich! A Roma san S’, a liaber Asylant!‘

Schön langsam bröckelte meine Geduld.

‚Herr Hammelspringer‘, – ich biss mir auf die Lippe – , ‚ich fasse noch einmal zusammen: Meine Eltern und Großeltern, meine Ur-, Ur-, Ur-Ahnen sind allesamt als ungarische Staatsbürger deutscher Nationalität vor 1918 – ich aber als rumänischer Staatsbürger deutscher Nationalität nach 1918 im gleichen Land Siebenbürgen geboren worden! Unser aller Nationalität, unsere Volkszugehörigkeit war und ist die deutsche!‘

‚Aber, liaber Herr Antragsteller‘, – Hammelspringer griff sich an den Kopf –, ‚Sie sagen’s ja selbst, Sie san in Rumänien geboren!‘ Er sprach wie zu einem geistig Verwirrten. ‚Nachha san mir – a Rumäne!! Verstegen S’?‘

‚Wenn ein Haflinger Hengst‘, sagte ich sehr beherrscht, wobei mein Blick einer Fliege folgte, die so schnell um Hammelspringers Glatze kreiste, dass man meinte, sie zeichne einen geschlossenen Heiligenschein mit ihrem Flug, ‚wenn ein bayrischer Schimmel aus Hintertupfing am Ufer des Nils dahintrabt, und versehentlich bei Assuan ins Wasser fällt – steigt er dann als Nilpferd aus den Fluten?‘

Der Beamte verfinsterte sich; er dachte lange nach.

Endlich erhellte sich seine Mine; er strahlte geradezu.

‚Wollen S’ damit sagen – Sie san a Rinozeros?!‘ Und er gluckste, wie ein gutgelauntes Hippo.

Ich gab auf.

Und suchte nach weiteren Beweisen.

Meiner geliebten Mutter – der ich das meiste verdanke, im Leben – sei’s auch gedankt, dass ich Hammelspringer endlich den entscheidenden, den finalen Beweis für meine deutsche Herkunft vorlegen konnte.

Es ist dies eine Urkunde von martialischem Aussehn, pergamentknistrig und schwer von schwungvollen Charakterunterschriften, mit rotem Siegellack und Stempelglanz geschmückt.

Dies Dokument sagt deutlich aus, dass ‚Seine kaiserl. und königl. Apostolische Majestät‘ (Franz Josef, versteht sich) ‚geruht haben, dem Leutnant Johann Maurer (der später mein Vater werden sollte) am 31. März 1915 die bronzene Militärverdienstmedaille am Bande des Militärverdienstkreuzes zu verleihen für tapferes Verhalten vor dem Feinde‘!

Gezeichnet: der Kriegsminister persönlich – unleserlich, freilich … bis auf die Worte ‚Ritter von‘ und die ersten beiden Silben des Namens: ‚Kroha…‘

So weit – so fern und vergessen; erster Weltkrieg, eine Art Strauß-Operette, verglichen mit dem Zweiten, oder mit Hiroshima und Vietnam.

Ganz unten auf dem Prachtwisch aber ist mit einer der ersten Schreibmaschinen der Welt (die Lettern waren da auf einer Art von sumerischem Rollsiegel angeordnet!) hinzugetippt worden:

‚An / den Herrn k.u.k. Leutnant des Infanterieregiments Rupprecht Kronprinz von Bayern Nr. 43 Johann MAURER.’

Herr Hammelspringer las den Papyrus, und als er zur hehren Zeile ‚Rupprecht Kronprinz von Bayern‘ kam – und diese in fraglosem Zusammenhang mit dem Vor- und Familiennamen meines Vaters verstehn musste, des K.u.K.-Leutnants – erhob er sich.

‚Mein Herr‘, sprach er feierlich, ‚hiermit erklär ich Sie, stante pe, zum Voll-Deitschen! – Sakra! Sie san mehr wia des: Sie san a echter Bayer!!‘

Mein Selbstgefühl blähte sich auf; wie ein Heißluftballon; in Form einer riesigen Weißwurscht.

Hallo! Guten Morgen, Deutschland!

Grias di Good, Bayern!“

Dolandırıcılar Google’da Havayolu Müşteri Hizmetleri Telefon Numaralarını Değiştiriyor

Geçenlerde bir yolcu, Delta Air Lines müşteri hizmetleriyle iletişime geçmeye çalışırken dolandırıcılığı keşfetti.

Sinirli ve savunmasız yolcuları hedef alan yeni bir dolandırıcılık keşfedildi. Shmuli Evers adlı yolcu, bu yeni dolandırıcılığı anlatarak Twitter’da viral oldu. Dolandırıcılar, Google’da popüler havayollarının müşteri hizmetleri numarasını hedefliyor.

looks like the scammers changed the @delta number in JFK. I suggested a edit to @googlemaps to the real Delta number. pic.twitter.com/HAiGlzkqcu

Viral olan Twitter serisinde potansiyel dolandırıcılığı ortaya çıkarıyor

Twitter kullanıcısı Evers, kendisini dolandırmaya kalkışanlar hakkında bir paylaşımda bulundu. Evers, olayın Delta Air Lines’ın John F. Kennedy Uluslararası Havalimanı’ndan (JFK) tarifeli uçuşunun iptal edilmesinden sonra başladığını belirtti. Delta Air Lines müşteri hizmetleri ofisinde uzun bir sıra olduğunu fark eden Evers, müşteri hizmetlerine telefonla ulaşmaya çalıştı.

Bunu yapmak için Google’da Delta Air Lines’ı arattı ve Google Haritalar’da listelenen numarayı aradı. Numara, oldukça yaygın olan bir +1-888 numarasıydı. Arama başladıktan kısa bir süre sonra arama kesildi. Ancak, bir numara aramasına hemen geri döndü. Bu numara, Fransız bir numara olan +33 ile başlıyordu ve arayan kimliği olarak DTI Yayıncılık görünüyordu.

Evers, adamın Hint aksanı olduğunu ve ona yardım etmeye son derece istekli olduğunu belirtti. Telefondaki adam, Evers’ın onay numarasını ve adını kullanarak iptal edilen uçuşunu aradı. Daha sonra, akşamın ilerleyen saatlerinde Newark Liberty Uluslararası Havalimanı’ndan (EWR) kalkan alternatif bir uçuş buldu.

Ancak, adam daha sonra uçuşun ekran görüntüsünü Evers’e mesaj attı ve ondan yeni rezervasyonu SMS ile onaylamasını istedi. Bu şüpheli hareket, adamın Evers’tan yeni uçuşun ücretini ödemesi için kendisini aramasını istediğinde daha belirgin hale geldi. Evers giderek daha fazla şüphelenmeye başladı ve adamın nerede olduğunu sordu. Adam, New York City’nin yaklaşık iki saat güneyinde, New York, Rochester’da olduğunu söyledi.

Evers coğrafi hatayı fark etti ve adama ödeme bilgilerini telefonda vermekten çekindiğini söyleyerek telefonu kapattı. Evers’e göre, adam ayrıca mevcut liste fiyatının beş katı bir ödeme talep ediyordu.

Dünya çapında etkilenen diğer havayolları

Evers telefonu kapattıktan kısa bir süre sonra geriye dönüp olayı araştırmaya başladı. Evers, adamın alternatif sunmaması nedeniyle, aradığı telefon numarasını Google’da arattı ve bunu Delta Air Lines web sitesinde listelenen müşteri hizmetleri hattıyla karşılaştırdığında rakamlar eşleşmedi. Değiştirilen numara, doğrudan JFK Havalimanı’ndaki Delta Air Lines konumuydu.

Evers şöyle paylaşın yaptı;

“Dolandırıcılar JFK’deki @delta numarasını değiştirmiş gibi görünüyor. @googlemaps’in gerçek Delta numarasına değiştirilmesini önerdim.”

Evers daha sonra JFK’deki diğer havayollarını araştırmaya başladı ve Google konumları altında listelenen numaraların çoğunun müşteri hizmetleri web sitelerinde listelenen numaralarla eşleşmediğini fark etti. O gün telefon numaraları çelişen havayolları arasında American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Air France, Qantas, ITA Airways ve Türk Hava Yolları vardı.

@TurkishAirlines also has a different number than the one on their website. It should be 1 (800) 874-8875 pic.twitter.com/OP3VfzugqS

Uyghur Khaganate

Abstract

The Uyghur Khaganate (Uygur, Uyğur, or Uighur Khaganate/Qaganate) or Empire (744–840) was among the largest states created in medieval Eurasia: at its height in the early decades of the 9th century it stretched from western central Asia to Korea. Established by the Turkic-speaking Uyghur pastoral nomads, it evolved into a rather complex pastoral nomadic state with many sedentary features, such as urbanism, agriculture, a number of written languages/alphabets, a form of currency, a fairly complex system of government, and a sophisticated religion (Manichaeism). Many of these sedentary elements entered the Uyghur state through Tang China and the central Asian Sogdians (Sogdians). To finance their empire, the Uyghurs used their close proximity and military leverage over the wealthy Tang state to obtain silks by various methods and dispatch them via Sogdian merchants westwards along the Silk Roads, one branch of which was controlled by the Uyghurs.

The Uyghur Khaganate (Uyğur, Uyghur, or Uighur Khaganate/Qaganate) or the Orxon Uyghur Empire (744–840), established and run politically by the Turkic-speaking Uyghur pastoral nomads, was one of the largest empires in medieval Eurasia and at its height stretched from the Fergana Valley in central Asia to eastern Mongolia. Like many other Inner Asian pastoral nomadic peoples, the Uyghurs derived from the Hsiung-nu political union (209 bce–c.100 ce). Part of the T'ieh-lê tribal union, as a result of conflicts with the Jou-Jan Khaganate (330–552), they were divided into two groups: one in the Orxon–Selenga River valleys (On Uyghur) and the other in the Altai-T'ien-shan range area (Toquz Uyghur). Together, they comprised a Toquz Oguz tribal confederation, at the head of which stood the Yaglaqar Uyghur charismatic clan. By the 8th century, the latter name developed into an ethnonym, applied to the Toquz Oguz tribes. When vassals of the Eastern Türk Khaganate (552–630), and for some time thereafter, the Uyghurs developed close contacts with Tang China (618–907) and appear to have accepted their overlordship. With the advent of the Second Türk Khaganate (682–742), the Uyghurs were again absorbed into the imperial Türk orbit. But, several years after the collapse of the Khaganate, thanks in large part to the Uyghurs, they took the imperial lead in eastern and central Eurasian politics by establishing their own Khaganate, the highest form of Turkic political organization (i.e., empire). Establishing their capital Ordu Baliq (Balıq) in the sacred Orxon lands and switching their ruler's title from Yabgu to Qagan, the Uyghurs made a clear statement of their political orientation toward the core Mongol territories formerly held by the eastern Türkic qagans and their aspirations to the imperial title.

On becoming masters of a huge territory stretching from the southern Gobi in the south, to western Manchuria in the east, to the Altai-Tuva region (nominally including the Kimek Irtysh and Qirgiz Yenisei territories) in the northwest, and eastern Turkestan to the borders of Qarluq country in the west, the Uyghurs found themselves in a key position to participate in major power politics in central and eastern Eurasia, which involved Tang China, the Tibetan Empire (618–842), and various other Turkic states and tribal confederations. With its heartlands situated in Mongolia, the Uyghur Khaganate was also ideally located for developing commercial ties with China to its south; the Bohai/P‘o-hai kingdom (698–926) of Manchuria–Russian Far East–North Korea to its east; Sogdia (Soġdia) and the Islamic civilization to its west; and, the various Uralic and Palaeo-Siberian hunter-gatherer tribes to its north.

Central and eastern Eurasia witnessed several major realignments in their commercial relations during the second half of the 8th century. As a prelude and most probably the cause of this reorientation was the An Lushan Rebellion in China that began in 755, which led China to begin its withdrawal from central Asia. Other regional powers came to replace the Tang in fulfilling the commercial transit role along the key central sectors of the Silk Roads that ran from China to central Asia via the Gansu Pass and the southern Tarim Basin in eastern Turkestan, namely the Tibetans and the newly established Uyghur Khaganate. Thus, the vital route stretching from Hami to the Gansu Corridor of the Jade Gate and the key regions of Dunhuang and Lop Nor and the cities of Besbaliq (Beiting/Tingzhou/Pei-t'ing), Kucha, Qoco, and Khotan were taken by the Tibetans from the Tang between 763 and the mid-790s. After 763, China had no direct contacts with central Asia. During these turbulent decades, trade along this traditional segment of the Silk Road appears to have declined.

During the reign of Qutlug Qagan (795–808), the Uyghurs took Turfan and extended their empire west to Fergana, including the earlier recapture of Bedbalıq in Turfan from the Tibetans in 792. Under the following qagan, Ay Tengride (808–821), the Uyghurs also captured Kuchâ, Qoco, and Kashgar. In the first quarter of the 9th century, Uyghur armies were operating on several occasions deep in Transoxiana, to as far west as the Syr Darya in Soġdia. However, for a number of decades of the latter half of the 8th century the Uyghurs had to find an alternative to the classic central section of the Silk Roads, a route that bypassed the Tibetan-held regions, that led to Soġdiana, their key trading partners in western central Asia. This route came to be known as the “Uyghur Road.” Its eastern branch passed from Tang territories northwest via the mid-Yellow River and the northern borders of the Ordos to the Uyghur capital of Ordu Balıq. From this city on the upper Orxon, its western branch ran southwest via Lake Barkul to the Uyghur-held town of Besbaliq. This city lay along a key east–west route that led westward to Sogdia; but, because Gansu and the southern Tarim Basin were held by the Tibetans for much of the second half of the 8th century, the road was re-routed northward into the steppe and traversed via it westward all the way to Mirki/Barki (the first Sogdian outpost in the northeast) and then by way of Isbijab and Ṭaraz/Talas to the key Sogdian city of Chach/al-Shash.

By establishing this route, the Uyghurs not only found a way to circumvent the Tibetan lands, but also sought to establish a monopoly on trade between China and the steppe. This last goal was initially made possible by their successful wars against the Qirgiz and their allied neighbors to the west in the late 740s and 750s. With the Uyghur destruction of the Qirgiz army of 50 000 in 758, the latter were cut off from China. However, the Qirgiz developed westerly commercial relations that connected them to the Qarluqs (who came to control the central Asian lands of the Western Türk Khaganate by 766), Tibet, and eastern Turkestan. Consequently, two alternative north–south routes were forged by the Qirgiz and their neighbors that linked with the central Silk Road: the “Qirgiz Road” that led from the Minusinsk Basin–upper Yenisei south through the Qarluq steppe to Kucha and Qoco, and the “Kimak Road” that ran from the Irtysh via the Qarluq steppe to Yabgi-Kent and then to Uđrar/Farab in Isbijab district of Sogdia. In this way, the Uyghurs were unable to hold on to their steppe-route monopoly for long.

Sogdian merchants played a key role in Uyghur trade with China, as is testified by their presence in a caravan traveling from China to the Uyghur capital alongside Uyghur merchants carrying 100 000 silks in 780. No doubt, Sogdians were also the ones who carried the millions of pieces of Chinese silk westward, obtained by the Uyghurs from the Tang over the course of the Khaganate's existence. While Uyghur–Chinese trade may have been initiated soon after the Khaganate was established in 744, it boomed after 760 when the Chinese came to dispatch silks by the hundreds of thousands to the Uyghurs yearly with very few disruptions until their collapse in 840. In the early 820s, the Tang annually forwarded half a million pieces of silk, if we are to believe Tamim b. Baḥr, the Arab emissary sent to the Khaganate in c.821.

To secure a steady and large volume of silks, the Uyghurs devised a number of methods for obtaining these textiles from the Middle Kingdom. One involved plunder and receiving payments for military services. Thus, between 757 and 763, the Uyghurs successfully assisted the Tang in their civil wars, which followed on the heels of the initial An Lushan Rebellion in 755. For their services of “liberating” the imperial cities, they were permitted to loot and pillage them (no doubt silks were the key commodity plundered). Under Bögü Qagan (759–779), the Uyghurs became the props of the Tang dynasty by becoming their guardians against rebellions and the Tibetans, which were secured by marital ties involving the dispatch of Chinese princesses to the Uyghurs. For their military services, they were paid in silks (e.g., 100 000 were given to them in 765).

Another method used to acquire silks was through forced trade. Being the military protectors of the Tang, beginning in 760 the Uyghurs used their position to systematically extort, behind the façade of trade, thousands of their horses (according to Chinese sources, not wanted and often decrepit nags) for Tang silks at 38–40 pieces per horse (e.g., in 780 100 000 pieces; in 827 200 000 or 500 000 pieces; in 829 230 000 pieces). To the horses may be added furs (sables), jade belts, camels, falcons, and other goods sent to the Tang. The Chinese chronicles wrote of these items as “tribute” from the Uyghurs who, in turn, viewed them as “gifts” that needed reciprocity, that is, forced trade. After 765, the Uyghurs living in the Tang capital also became economically prominent by acting as moneylenders, which most probably also added to their silk acquisitions, since silk in China at this time was used as currency. However, being wealthy “usurers,” combined with their image of extortionists and arrogant people due to their importance in propping up the Tang, caused much disdain for the Uyghurs and, indeed, helped fuel xenophobia in the Middle Kingdom by the early 9th century. This phenomenon ran contrary to the otherwise very cosmopolitan Tang culture, one that initially absorbed many nomadic elements, from ideologies, worldviews, and aesthetics to the appreciation of wearing furs, eating stewed camel humps, and women parading on horseback through the streets of the imperial capital wearing felt pants, kaftans, and boots.

To maintain and perpetuate trade relations with the outside world, the Uyghurs developed a well-run infrastructure and urbanism. Already in the mid-7th century at the request of the Uyghurs the Tang erected 16 stations along what developed into the eastern branch of the “Uyghur Road.” Soon after the advent of the Khaganate, Et-Etmish Bilge Qagan (747–759) constructed the capital Ordu Baliq in 757 and at about the same time “ordered” Sogdians and Chinese to build the city of Bay Baliq on the Selenga River. Indeed, ceramic roof tiles discovered in Tuva and Ordu Baliq are analogous to those crafted in Tang China, while the castles built in the Tuva region were constructed from typical bricks of the central and eastern central Asian tradition. The capital held temples, administrative buildings, market streets aligned by trades, 12 gates, and a central citadel where the Qagan's walled-in palace stood, atop of which the ruler's golden tent (which could hold 100 people) was located. Another city, Khökh Ordung, was located east of the Khangai Mountains in central Mongolia. More urban centers were erected west of the Eg River in north-central Mongolia. Further west was Tuva, which was taken by the Uyghurs in 750–751. This region functioned as the Khaganate's limes with their Qirgız neighbors. There the Uyghurs erected a strong line of fortifications made up of 17 brick-made castles and interconnecting wooden walls. These rectangular and square fortresses had thick, high walls with massive towers and gates that were surrounded by deep and wide moats.

The support mechanism for travelers and permanent residents of Uyghur castles and cities was well developed. The discovery of hand-turned grain mills, iron plowshares, and millet at Uyghur castles and burials indicates that agriculture was known in this pastoral nomadic empire. Tamim b. Baḥr reports that the capital of the Uyghurs was “a great town, rich in agriculture and surrounded by rustaqs full of cultivation and villages lying close together ….” Indeed, archaeological surveys of the city revealed a network of irrigation ditches that could have sustained agriculture in the Orxon plain. Linguistic evidence suggests that the Uyghurs borrowed the knowledge of making “wine from millet” (no doubt beer) from the Sogdians. Large numbers of horses, goats, sheep, camels, and cattle were also raised. Additional meat and raw materials for craft production were obtained through hunting red Siberian stags, wild rams, boar, fowl, bears, and other animals. Fishing also played a role in the economy. Craft production, whether in Uyghur or immigrant artisan's hands, involved: woodworking; horn, antler, and bone carving; pottery-making (handmade as well as wheel-turned); ironworking; copper-working (e.g., production of bronze mirrors); and cloth production.

Some products of the Khaganate were exported: items carved out of ivory (walrus or mammoth tusks) and heath-wood platters were carried to the Muslim lands. It is very likely that furs were also exported westward: the Arab writer al-Jaḥiẓ (d.869) noted in his work Tabassur that the best sables found in the Islamic world came from China, here most probably mistaking their Uyghur source for China. Indeed, since the Khaganate's northern territories were located at the edge of the Siberian forest zone, the Uyghurs had access to some of the finest furs available in Eurasia. Based on the finds of silks, beads, coins, and other imported objects north of the Tuva limes, western Baikal, and even deeper in Siberia, by way of trade the Uyghurs secured furs for their markets from the Uralic and Palaeo-Siberian hunter-gatherer peoples of the taiga. Thus, the “Uyghur Road” also served as a “Fur Road,” not a minor function in light of the great demand for this luxury item across Afro-Eurasia during this period.

But, horses were no doubt their largest export item. Aside from receiving silks in exchange for them from China, the Uyghurs also imported tea, which became the fad in Tang China at this time, as well as ceramic dishware and neo-porcelains, bronze mirrors, and coins. Beads of various types (paste, glass, rock-crystal, cornelian) were also imported to the Khaganate from across Eurasia. However, it is not clear what balanced out Uyghurs’ silk trade. It has been estimated that they received on average 300 000 rolls of raw silk per year from the Tang, in exchange for 7500 horses. Naturally, some part of this yearly silk intake was used by the Uyghurs themselves. Some they traded northward into Siberia. However, the majority of these textiles must have been exported westward by the Sogdians. What the Uyghurs received in return has not been documented in the written sources. Based on the discovery of various items made of gold and other non-ferrous metals in Uyghur burials, it can be assumed that they were, at least in part, paid with various luxury items. Presumably, another way the Sogdians compensated for the goods they acquired from the Uyghurs was by providing them with builders to construct and decorate their cities and castles, something that would have been very costly, but mutually beneficial.

Relying on the political mechanisms of their Türk predecessors and those imported by the Sogdians, the Uyghurs developed a relatively sophisticated sedentary and nomadic government, with a fairly well-developed bureaucratic system. Contributing to political stability was the adoption of a vertical succession from father to son, which was atypical for the nomadic linear system. Qagan's huge military also helped: in the capital alone he had a standing army of 12 000 at the imperial central inner city, and his 17 chieftains each provided 13 000 more men in the outer city. The Uyghurs also had a horse-relay system of communications (like the later Cinggisid jam) as well as fiat money in the form of leather pieces to which seals of the Qagan were attached as guarantee of tender. Writing also contributed to administration. In fact, the Uyghurs had three alphabets, all borrowed: a variation of Sogdian (itself based on Aramaeo-Syriac); a Runic script, based on Indic Brahmî (which entered via the Tocharians); and, a Tibetan-based alphabet (also Indic in origin). The elite appear to have been literate and it is quite possible that the urban population was as well. Uyghur literature is plentiful and diverse, mostly religious: Manichaean, Nestorian Christian, and Buddhist.

The multiple roles played by the Sogdians in the Uyghur state cannot be overemphasized. Indeed, they acted as tutors to the Uyghurs in regard to trade, diplomacy, politics, material culture, writing, and religion. In turn, the Khaganate's success brought Sogdians profit. In this way, this was a symbiotic relationship. But, the most important Sogdian contribution was the introduction and perpetuation of their Manichaean faith, a religion that was generally persecuted at the time elsewhere other than in Sogdia. In c.762, Bögü Qagan converted to Manichaeism and soon thereafter introduced the religion to the Khaganate, most members of which presumably practiced the traditional Turkic Tengri (sky-god) faith. While Manichaeism was not uncontested by the ruling elite, and it is not clear what portion of the population practiced this religion outside of the urban centers, the choice to convert to it made much sense: it offered not only a more sophisticated belief system, which was required for a developing complex state, but also one that was theologically and politically neutral in relation to the other major rival powers in the region that practiced Buddhism and Islam.

The Uyghur Khaganate began to disintegrate after the death of Külüg Bilge Qagan (832–839). That year brought heavy snows, epidemics, famine, and epizootics that led to the death of much of the empire's livestock, the backbone of the economy. These natural disasters most probably were interpreted as the loss (heaven's withdrawal or removal) of the qaganal political-military “charisma” or qut and put in question the viability of the Khaganate itself as a sacred polity. The following year, 840, with the invitation of a turncoat general, 100 000 Qirgiz attacked and destroyed the capital of Ordu Baliq, killed the last Qagan, Wu-tsung/Lu-chi Qasar (838–840), and hence ended the Uyghur Empire. These events aside, it should be observed that the Uyghurs were victims of their own success: by becoming increasingly urban luxury consumers and divided by socioeconomic-political differences, they turned away from the aspects of their culture that initially gave them strength – mobility, austerity, and a generally classless militarily powerful and united nomadic state. The collapse of the Khaganate also falls in line with the overall historical patterns of the other states in the region, as the Tibetan Empire crumbled two years afterward and the crippled Tang state limped on for two more generations. Hence, the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate has to be interpreted in the context of the much larger patterns of internal and external historical developments that occurred across central and eastern Eurasia in the period.

[ad_1] “Rather than doubling down on failed approaches of violence and coercion that have singularly failed in the past, I urge everyone involved to step out of the illogic of escalation that has only ended in dead bodies, shattered lives and utter despair,” he said in a statement.  Record killings in 2022 Mr. Türk reported that record numbers of Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 2022, which also saw the highest number of Israeli fatalities inside Israel and the occupied West Bank in years. So far, the new year has brought “more bloodshed, more destruction, and the situation continues to grow more volatile”, he added. In 2022, the UN human rights office (OHCHR) documented 151 killings of Palestinians by Israeli security forces in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, plus one boy who was killed by either the Israeli forces or a settler. Another two Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers.  Many of the cases involving security forces spark serious concerns of excessive use of force and arbitrary killings.  During the same period, 24 Israelis were killed inside Israel and in the occupied West Bank by Palestinians.A deadly start Meanwhile, 34 Palestinians and seven Israelis have been killed since the start of this year. Mr. Türk feared recent Israeli measures “are only fuelling further violations and abuses of human rights law and violations of international humanitarian law.” Following attacks last weekend in East Jerusalem, Israeli authorities moved to seal off the homes of the suspected perpetrators. More than 40 people were arrested, and two families were forcibly evicted. Israel has proposed other measures, including revoking identity documents, citizenship and residency rights, and social security benefits of relatives of suspected attackers, as well as ramping up house demolitions.  Fuelling further violence Mr. Türk said such measures, if implemented, may amount to collective punishment, which is “expressly prohibited” under international humanitarian law and “incompatible” with international human rights law. Furthermore, Israeli Government plans to expedite and expand the licensing of firearms for civilians, coupled with hateful rhetoric, “can only lead to further violence and bloodshed”, he added. “We know from experience that the proliferation of firearms will lead to increased risks of killings and injuries of both Israelis and Palestinians. The Israeli authorities must work to reduce the availability of firearms in society,” said the High Commissioner. Stop fomenting hatred Mr. Türk noted that there already have been several reports of violence between Israeli settlers and Palestinians, particularly in the occupied West Bank over the past week. “Rather than fuelling a worsening spiral of violence, I urge all those holding public office or other positions of authority – indeed everyone – to stop using language that incites hatred of ‘the other’,” said Mr. Türk. “Such fomenting of hatred is corrosive for all Israelis, Palestinians, all of society.” The UN rights chief called for urgent measures to de-escalate tensions, including ensuring that killings and serious injuries are investigated in accordance with international standards. Appeal to leaders “Impunity has been rife, sending a signal that excesses are allowed,” he said. “The obligation under international human rights law is to investigate loss of life in any context of law enforcement – credibly and effectively – regardless of whether there was an exchange of fire between security forces and armed individuals.” Mr. Türk urged Israel to ensure that all operations of its security forces in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are carried out with full respect for international human rights law. “The people of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory need their leaders to work – urgently – to create conditions conducive to a political solution to this protracted, untenable situation", he said.

It isn’t usual for the United Nations’s human rights chief to write a letter to the new owner of a technology company. But last week, that’s exactly what Volker Türk did.

In an open letter to Elon Musk days after his takeover of Twitter, Türk laid out six principles he urged Musk to keep “front and center” for the platform, including the protection of free speech, prevention of hate and violence, and effective content moderation in non-English languages. 

“As the new owner of Twitter, you have enormous responsibilities given the platform’s influential role as a digital space,” Türk wrote.

Türk was right to be concerned. A day earlier, Musk laid off half of Twitter’s global workforce—around 3,700 people—which included its entire human rights team, according to a tweet from the company’s human rights counsel, Shannon Raj Singh. According to local reports, most of Twitter’s workforce in India was let go, and Twitter’s first Africa office in Accra, Ghana, was reportedly gutted less than a year after it opened and days after employees convened in person for the first time. Twitter did not respond to a request for comment on the layoffs.

The company’s user base around the world numbers in the hundreds of millions, and while that is far smaller than social media competitors such as Meta, YouTube, and TikTok, Twitter plays an outsized role in hosting and driving the global conversation. It is used by world leaders, government agencies, dissidents, activists, and journalists—in many cases against each other. 

In the past, Twitter has stood up for freedom of expression and human rights against governments that wish to curb those rights. In India, it filed a lawsuit against the government over demands to take down numerous accounts. In Nigeria, Twitter was banned for seven months after it took down a tweet by the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, that was interpreted as threatening violence against protesters. (The platform was reinstated earlier this year after Twitter pledged to establish an office and appoint a representative in the country.)

“Twitter has over the last several years developed a reputation for pushing back on government demands or resisting ones that in its view seem inconsistent with either local law or human rights law, or [its] values as a company,” said David Kaye, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, and the former United Nations special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. 

Musk’s focus so far has been on squeezing money out of users to make up for vanishing advertising revenues, adding digital payment capabilities to Twitter and making employees return to the office. He hasn’t discussed how the platform will deal with some of the thornier issues it faces around misinformation, election security, government repression, and hate speech. 

“Musk has shown little sign of concerns for Twitter users or employees that are outside the U.S.,” said Mishi Choudhary, a lawyer and online rights activist who founded the Indian branch of the Software Freedom Law Center. “Between the claims for absolute free speech and compliance of laws, it is clear that the learning curve for the billionaire will be steep.”

Twitter’s ability to effectively moderate content and protect its most vulnerable users took several more hits on Thursday with the simultaneous departures of its chief information security officer, its chief privacy officer, and its head of trust and safety. 

“People who are in really high-security situations should not have been using Twitter for direct messages that are risky anyway, but that doesn’t mean people weren’t doing that. There’s a lot of community there,” Kaye said. “I don’t think [Musk] is thinking much about it at all, and since he fired most of the people who do that work, I don’t see how he can get up to speed on what that involves.”

Twitter and other social media platforms have long been accused of not doing enough to crack down on hate speech and misinformation around the world, including countries such as Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and parts of the Middle East. Twitter has in some cases taken a stand to protect freedom of speech, refusing, for example, to take down hundreds of accounts last year at the behest of the Indian government during protests against controversial agricultural laws.

Twitter isn’t the only platform with a vast global reach and a problematic human rights track record that will now be operating with fewer employees. Meta, which has over a billion users around the world across platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp, laid off 11,000 workers earlier this week, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a public post. Zuckerberg did not reveal which teams and countries have been most significantly affected by the layoffs, and Meta already outsources much of its global content moderation around the world to contractors. The company has a history of missing key local context in overseas markets—often with devastating effects. In Myanmar, Facebook acknowledged that it did not do enough to prevent hate speech and violence against the Rohingya minority group, and documents leaked by a company whistleblower last year revealed it faced a similar issue in a more recent conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. (A Meta spokesperson did not comment on the recent layoffs.) 

Languages have been a particularly tricky problem for platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, with blind spots around the world that have seen them struggle to police misinformation and hate speech in many cases.

“Moderation in non-English languages is significantly poorer than it is in English, both because of the lack of language expertise on the part of people at these companies but also because even the automated tools that help with content moderation work much less better for non-English languages,” said Samir Jain, policy director at the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington, D.C. “We were already in a situation where the social media companies weren’t as good at moderating speech online; the real fear is that they’re going to become materially worse.”

Even as Musk’s Twitter devolves further into internal chaos, experts point out additional vulnerabilities for the platform’s global operations stemming from his business links. Musk’s co-investors in Twitter include government entities from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and his ownership of electric carmaker Tesla and satellite company SpaceX could give governments additional leverage against Twitter. Should that come to pass, it is not clear that Musk—who has said he believes in free speech as long as it “matches the law” in the applicable country—would take a meaningful stand.

“He’s got Tesla trying to open and build markets in places like India, so how does that weigh into his desire to be more responsive to government demands?” Kaye said. “It’s all just deeply concerning in ways that I certainly didn’t fully anticipate just a couple of weeks ago.”

Turkey is the number one among tea drinking countries, even the well-known tea nation UK is beaten by them! xD

Well it makes sense if you know how Turks drink tea 😳 Imagine sitting together with family/friends while drinking tea in small fancy glasses

You will start with your first glass and ask them how they are, then you will ask for another glass while you talk about something different, then with the next topic another glass of tea follows ... And this will continue so long until you realize that you and your friend/family member finished the whole pot xD ... Boy, it can be really addicting if you drink your tea like this, even if you are a coffee junkie like me!

I found this comic on insta uploaded by @cizgimsifilm

UK: Turkey you should stop now!

Turkey: I didn't drink any tea yet!

(I love this badass expression of Turkey sm xD)

Here I have some nice maps/statistics for you as well that are interesting to see ^^

Oh I have something to add!

Last time I heard that the younger generations prefer coffee more than tea, maybe the statistics could change in a few years

Coffee is more "trendy" among young people and sadly not everyone has the time to drink tea "like a Turk"

Here is another statistic, that will tell you in which jobs and ages are the most coffee drinkers

Sadly the "fastfood-culture" is getting more popular too :/ some young Turks don't know how to cook properly (or even struggle to clean the house), because some traditional Turkish dishes take a lot of time and not everyone has the time to cook them

Sorry if I may sound like an old person, but I really love cooking and I am someone who appreciate home made food more then fast food ... The Turkish cuisine has much more than just Baklava and Kebap, and it is sad to see that it is still so underrated even if it has a great diversity
