Oliver Gorus wrote that Friedrich Merz had pledged before the election to adhere to the debt brake and to refrain from tax increases. After the election, he imposed record debts on the citizens, raised taxes, and continuously introduced new levies, according to Gorus. Gorus also accused Merz of going against his promise to put an end to leftist politics, claiming he has been pursuing socialist redistribution policies and expanding the state since taking office. Gorus stated that Merz would go down in history as the most brazen liar in a German government position since the founding of the Federal Republic. #Steuern #Politik #Merkel (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)

The author wrote that affordable basic needs are not a radical demand, but part of the founding consensus of the republic. As evidence, he referred to the earlier Ahlener Program of the CDU, which, according to him, described a social and economic reorganization that could no longer be focused on capitalist profit. https://t.co/ohv5QZqw7l #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Wirtschaft #Grundbedürfnisse #DE (translated)

Am 28. September 1972 erlebte Österreich seinen ersten internationalen Terroranschlag, als zwei arabische Terroristen am Bahnhof Marchegg fünf Geiseln nahmen und damit eine Geiselsituation auslösten, die letztlich zur Gründung der Spezialeinheit Cobra führte. #Terrorismus #Österreich #Geschichte

Es ist eine komplette Verdrehung der Tatsachen: Die AfD hatte niemals etwas gegen die Kirchen, aber die Kirchen bekämpfen die Partei seit dem Tag ihrer Gründung. Vom einfachen Pastor bis zum Bischof wird bei jeder Gelegenheit gegen die AfD gewettert, man spricht Wahlempfehlungen gegen sie aus, ist bei jeder Demo gegen die Partei ganz vorn dabei, wirft Parteimitglieder aus kirchlichen Ämtern heraus. Und jetzt behauptet dieser Bischof nach einem jahrelangen Feldzug, die AfD sei es, die die Kirche zum "Hauptfeind" erklärt habe? Die Kirchenoberen waren es doch, die die AfD zum "Hauptfeind" erklärt haben, und das schon vor Jahren! https://t.co/jhrGnvw5St #AfD #Kirche #Politik
