The author wrote that for a political awakening in Berlin, new paths must be taken and antisemitism as well as hatred towards Israel must be excluded. A coalition of CDU, Greens, and SPD would not be perfect in his assessment, but with a common personality of nationwide impact in the Red City Hall, it could make history for Berlin. #Berlin #Politik #Gemeinschaft #DE (translated)

Björn Höcke wrote that order must be actively created, while chaos arises on its own. He believes this experience can be transferred from the garden to human communities. The fathers and mothers of the Basic Law intended to establish order and not to promote boundlessness, he explained. In a time when Western culture has become irrational about itself, this must be emphasized repeatedly. Höcke thanked Frank Böckelmann, who made it clear in the current issue of TUMULT that a constitution is not an end in itself. #Ordnung #Gesellschaft #Verfassung (translated)

The article by Bülent Mumay criticizes the government's "century of Turkey" policy, which, under the pretense of protecting the family, suppresses the LGBT+ community and critical voices in society through a series of repressive measures, while at the same time a massive financial scandal has exacerbated the country's economic problems. #TürkiyeYüzyılı #LGBTQhakları #DijitalSansür (translated)

Nasruddin Amer reported that the Yemeni Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of responsibility for the escalation in Bab al-Mandab. The ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Riyadh to fulfill its obligations to the Yemeni people, including lifting the blockade and ending the aggression, instead of igniting a war in the strait. According to the statement, Saudi Arabia has turned Bab al-Mandab into a battlefield, thereby jeopardizing shipping. The ministry accused the international community of responding with loud criticism to the expansion of Yemeni sovereignty along the west coast and in Bab al-Mandab, while ignoring Saudi activities there. These, according to the ministry, serve the interests of the USA and Israel. The ministry also stated that Yemen is adhering to its international obligations regarding maritime safety. The exercise of Yemeni sovereignty over its territory, coastlines, and territorial waters does not pose a threat to global trade but will make it safer. This statement was made after the ministry claimed to have pushed back Saudi troop deployments on the west coast. #Jemen #BabAlMandab #Schifffahrt (translated)

U.M. OSINT explained that he is often criticized for speaking of "the Palestinians" instead of just Hamas. Highlighting Hamas conveys the impression in the West, in his view, that the Palestinians are largely innocent and the responsibility lies solely with a ruling class. In the Gaza Strip and, in a different composition, in the West Bank, the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the PFLP, the DFLP, the Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah, and other groups are also active. According to U.M. OSINT, the motivation of these groups is distorted in the West. Their goal is the destruction of Israel; they internally view Israel's existence as an occupation of their land. This perspective is also adopted by Western left extremists. U.M. OSINT referred to the resistance against Israel's existence as Muqāwama and stated that civilian, peaceful resistance means Ṣumūd. Citing the recent survey by the Palestinian PCPSR (Poll No 97, 12.08.2026), he wrote that 50% of respondents opposed a two-state solution and 32% supported armed resistance. The latter figure is the lowest ever recorded; in December 2023, it was at 68%. According to an INSS survey (National Security Studies INSS, Special Survey: Palestinian Public Opinion in the West Bank, 17.09.2026), 43% support a Palestinian state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Of those, 26% wanted to allow no Jewish presence in such a state, which, according to U.M. OSINT, affects nearly 1.5 million Palestinians. To justify his terminology, he referred to historical comparisons: despite armed resistance in Italy, today, people talk about the Allies' fight against Italy and not just against the Partito Nazionale Fascista. The pro-imperial Taisei Yokusankai is hardly known in Europe; people simply talk about Japan. In World War II, more than 17 million Germans fought, and millions also contributed to the armaments industry and in organizations. It would be strange, he wrote, to attribute the war solely to members of the NSDAP. U.M. OSINT argued that a society bears collective responsibility when it is permeated by a system. Whether Palestinians internally struggle for an Islamist or secular society is of no consequence to Israel externally. In his view, the portrayal of the situation as an occupation of the West Bank is directed at uninformed people in the West. The so-called resistance began long before the founding of Israel and took on current structures while Israel had not yet occupied anything; at that time, the Palestinian autonomous areas were occupied and annexed by Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, from at least 1947, about 1,000 former members of the Waffen-SS fought on the Palestinian side in the so-called Arab Liberation Army (ALA). If he refers to a specific association or terrorist organization, he names it explicitly; otherwise, he speaks of the Palestinians. #Palästinenser #Hamas #Nahostkonflikt (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that October 7, 2023, permanently changed Israel and left Jewish communities worldwide in shock, grief, and pain. She referred to more than 1,100 dead, 251 people taken hostage, torn-apart families, and thousands who had to leave their homes. Three years later, the attack remains part of Jewish people's lives, she wrote. She remembered the dead, the abducted, as well as families and communities whose lives had fundamentally changed. From the Holocaust and the massacre of October 7, she derives the commitment to advocate for Jewish life and to address grievances openly. Jews can no longer afford political correctness, Goldstein-Wolf wrote. She will confront those she considers part of the problem until the end and emphasized that displacement cannot take away Jews' self-respect. #Israel #Judentum #Erinnerung (translated)

Reza Pahlavi Communications published a statement that had reportedly been signed by 133 Iranian political prisoners and activists. In it, the signatories thanked the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for awarding the Freedom Prize 2026 to the Iranian people and for commissioning Prince Reza Pahlavi to accept it. The signatories wrote that during the protests on January 8 and 9, 2026, people had demanded an end to the Islamic Republic and more freedom. Published reports and estimates indicated tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of arrests. They stated that executions continued and death sentences were imposed in part based on confessions coerced under torture and in unfair trials. The authors referred to Reza Pahlavi as their political representative and supported him in leading a transition to a free, democratic Iran. They wrote that the Iranian people should decide on the future form of government in a free vote. They urged governments and international institutions to prevent executions, release political prisoners, and grant independent observers access to prisons. Additionally, they called for an end to business with the Islamic Republic, for a transparent use of frozen Iranian assets to support the freedom movement, and for better access to secure internet, including through Starlink. The letter was dated October 2026. #Iran #Freiheit #Menschenrechte (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that the event in Bremen was surreal and embarrassing. According to his assessment, the ZDF today show hardly reported on it and only briefly conveyed the speech of the Federal President, without showing moving images. He asked whether the responsible parties at ZDF might have found the event embarrassing and whether they wanted to prevent the public from knowing about it. Vosgerau described the political system as a combination of two isolated circles: one, which he referred to as the political-media complex, that celebrated itself in Bremen, and a large group of politically uninterested, mostly well-off retirees. The latter, although they did not understand politics, trusted the authorities and were led to believe that criticizing politicians would lead back to a dark past. From his perspective, he attributed grotesque notions and dogmas to the political-media circle, such as those regarding subsidized wind turbines and Islamization. As a connecting force between these circles, Vosgerau referred to public broadcasting. The working population, especially young men, increasingly realized that they had no influence on this development and that their interests were being neglected, he wrote. #Politik #Medien #Gesellschaft (translated)

Good morning everyone, on September 13, there was an alleged rape of a minor in the community accommodation in Kölleda (Thuringia). Yesterday, on September 30, the Erfurt police informed about this. So no, they actually didn't inform but merely clarified that there are speculations and false claims regarding the case in social media, which one should not participate in. For over two weeks, they did not consider it necessary to inform the public about the alleged sexual offense in a community accommodation involving a minor victim. Only after it was spread online did they feel compelled to say something while also stating that no information would be released about what happened. Therefore, one should not be surprised about rumors, speculations, and subsequent false claims. This handling is typical, as looking at the press releases after entering the relevant search terms in the police reports from 2025, just over 100 reports appear. However, according to the PKS, there were actually 14,454 cases of rapes, sexual coercions, and sexual assaults in particularly serious cases last year. The public is thus informed only about a fraction of the crimes. I inquired why the public is only being informed now, after rumors have spread. I also asked whether the suspect and victim are residents of the accommodation, how old the suspect and the victim are, what nationalities they have, and if the suspect has had previous police records for similar offenses or violent crimes. If I receive a response, I will report back. Most likely, as the police report reads, they will often refer to personal rights and want to deny the answer. #Vergewaltigung #Kriminalität #Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (translated)
