The author said that Islam could be criticized harshly and mentioned that he had done so himself. However, according to him, urging an imam born in Finland to return to his home country and the cheering of thousands of people were something entirely different. #monikulttuurisuus #kotoontuminen #uskonto #FI (translated)

Yaron Nadbornik criticized Heikki Hiilamo's column published in Yleisradio, stating that it presented a one-sided image connecting the actions of Israel's leadership, Finnish Christian groups, and Minister Antti Häkkänen's visit to the structures of oppression. Nadbornik argued that the column's treatment of Israel and Zionism made Jews collectively responsible and expanded the criticism to also include Israel's supporters and Jews in general. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo's text divided the parties into white and Christian oppressors and non-white and Muslim victims. He said this framing overlooked the Jewish roots, history, and vulnerability in the Middle East, as well as the fact that millions of people from various backgrounds lived in Israel. He also believed that the framework wrongly fit the conflict into a narrative of Western colonialism and racism and presented Israel as a refuge for a people without another homeland. Nadbornik wrote that the prejudices against Jews were based on their otherness. He noted that studies had shown that Jews living in the diaspora were unjustly held accountable for the actions of the state of Israel. He argued that Hiilamo's rhetoric, which connected Christian groups and ministerial visits with the suffering in Gaza, reinforced this framework. Nadbornik recalled the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, describing it as a massacre involving rapes, mutilations, and the abduction of civilians, including babies, festival-goers, and the elderly, into Israel. He called it the largest single act of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo overlooked the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah openly sought the destruction of Israel in connection with Israel's military actions. He believed that framing the terror attack merely as a security threat or comparing it to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ignored the rights of Israeli citizens to exist and be protected. https://t.co/PFvBFdaoiQ #Israel #Juutalaiset #Rasismi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that the head of Germany's foreign intelligence had warned that Russia was waging a shadow war against Germany. According to him, the head of Germany's domestic intelligence had said that Russia was preparing sabotage and even assassinations on German territory. Vanhanen assessed that in Finland, it was sometimes assumed that Russian intelligence activities had some sort of invisible boundary of politeness that would prevent actions at people's doorsteps or overly brazen acts. He wrote that, in his opinion, Russian intelligence services did not operate according to the boundaries that Finns consider acceptable, but rather based on what works and where they are given space. According to Vanhanen, naivety was not a strong security policy. https://t.co/gjetkWxfTV #Venäjä #tiedustelu #turvallisuuspolitiikka (translated)

Otto Meri wrote that the organization helping illegal foreign residents was in trouble due to cuts in their funding. He asked why taxpayers' money had been directed towards helping them for years, and believed that they should return to their home countries to seek help instead of relying on Finnish taxpayers.

Antti Häkkänen thanked the members of parliament for the trust placed in him and stated that the safety of Finns is the most important task in a dangerous world. He wrote that Finland needed the best possible defense tools for the country's defense and to prevent military aggression. According to him, not all necessary tools were available in Europe, so cooperation with the United States, Israel, and South Korea was critical for defense capability. Häkkänen stated that Russia's warfare in Ukraine has shown that especially air defense must be of the best possible quality. He justified the urgent strengthening of defense capability by the development of the threat environment and mentioned that ongoing wars and issues with the availability of components and raw materials had complicated the production and delivery of orders in the defense industry. Häkkänen wrote that Finland would do everything possible to obtain defense tools on time and with the best technology. He warned that delays would directly affect the country's defense readiness and increase security risks. He said that Finland would continue to follow the material policy outlined in the defense report prepared in broad parliamentary cooperation and hoped for a wide understanding of strengthening security. #Puolustus #Turvallisuus #Suomi (translated)

Rami Kurimo wrote that the deportation of a Somali man convicted of murder and rape had been halted. According to him, the administrative court found that Migri could not decide on the deportation without first clarifying the grounds for the man's secondary protection revocation. Kurimo described secondary protection as possible for individuals who could be threatened with serious harm in their home country. He asked whether the man should be deported to Somalia if returning could cause him such harm. He cited IS as a source. #Somalia #Karkotukset #Maahanmuutto (translated)

Eija-Riitta Korhola-Dunderfelt asked leading politicians to explain whether the inability to deport a person convicted of crimes back to their home country is due to current practices or the law, and what kind of legal change would be necessary. She estimated that many voters would support such a change and directed her question to Mari Rantanen, Heikki Vestman, and Petteri Orpo. #politiikka #lainsäädäntö #karkottaminen (translated)

Development aid does not become more effective by simply changing the words. Developing countries do not improve by changing the words. Even in our own country, someone decided to start calling immigrants from developing countries relying on the social security system as top talents. But no, that didn't work either. Empirically verifiable facts cannot be changed by beautifying the language – although a significant part of the left's energy seems to be spent on that nowadays, playing with words. #kehitysapu #maahanmuuttajat #sosiaalisetasiat (translated)
