incident?! The little news published of the bombing of a civilian ship off the coast of Malta an Italy should be perplexing… but , at this point it is not any longer. I can see already Mossad kidnapping journalists/protestors off Paris, Madrid or London to bring to Israel and our press and leaders making no comments or even insinuating they had it coming.
Finally someone points that out. No only that, the same police state that bans speeches (even online ones!) on just what happens in Gaza… and here we are, a bunch of people in the fediverse clapping for the potential ban of an entire political party.
We should have learned long ago that we don´t need the “domestic secret service” to classify a political party as anything, nor new sudden anti-terror laws to be brought up; all of these measurements are always Trojan horses for the powers be to control future narratives that go way beyond what they were originally was said it was intended for. The truth is that both Europe and US have proven and established laws, with its checks-and-balances, to deal with people and organizations that want to do harm. All this paraphernalia of "secret police reports¨, “national security”, “PATRIOT act” and the like are intended to circumvent the laws and provide no guarantees so we end up with what we experience recently, with journalists imprisoned in the EU for years without any charges. Haven´t you notice that these measures are never rescinded back?!
Trust me, after they ban AfD, any other party that possesses a chance to threat the establishment (whether harmful or benevolent, right or left) will get banned too, and easily so then. If AfD does something illegal, persecute them with the current laws for that and make sure all political parties are subject to the same scrutiny, no need of a secret police reports that cannot be disclosed for national security reasons.
The erosion we are creating to our countries’ institutions is spiraling out of control and parties like AfD, Reform UK, etc are not the cause, but the symptoms of disfranchising large amounts of people from many years on the making. Hermetically closing the lid while the fire is still on will bring nothing good for anyone.
Who does not have the visual of the movie 300’s when Leonidas throws his spear at Xerxes face to prove his mortality?! Yemen and its people will continue to suffer but they will be remembered for their fierce conviction.
