Jan Betlach stated that on October 10, 1960, then Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir offered Arab states negotiations with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in New York or elsewhere, without preconditions. According to his contribution, she proposed discussions on peace, or at least on a non-aggression pact, specifically reaching out to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jordanian King Hussein, and the Lebanese Prime Minister. Betlach added that Israel, at that time, had a width of only 15 kilometers at its narrowest point due to the 1949 armistice, and the Arab states rejected the offer. One Western European delegate reportedly told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he hadn't heard a more reasonable proposal in a long time. Betlach wrote that Saudi representative Ahmad Shukairy used Nazi-related expressions twelve times in his subsequent reply and compared Meir to the Nazis. Five days later, according to his contribution, Nasser declared that Israel was trying to deceive world public opinion and that Egypt would never recognize the Jewish state. Shukairy later became the first chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization and drafted its charter, which, according to Betlach, rejected a Jewish state in any borders. Betlach concluded that Meir was only requesting a meeting but was rejected and made the target of comparisons to perpetrators of the murder of European Jews. #historie #BlízkýVýchod #mír (translated)

Bety Kovač wrote that the reactions to the posts of Russian ministries indicated that some Russians support the killing of Ukrainians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. She referred to the Russian side with a derogatory term and described the intervention at the Yandex data center as a digital "detox." She stated that Yandex was not prepared for the consequences and that this was only the third data center that had also been damaged, according to earlier satellite images, not completely destroyed. She claimed that everything in Russia is connected to Yandex and called for continued attacks on similar objects. She characterized their intervention as the exercise of Ukraine's undeniable right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and a step towards reducing the military-economic potential of the Russian Federation. #Ukrajina #Yandex #DigitálníDetox (translated)

Vláďa Foltán labeled Donald Trump's post about the Nobel Peace Prize as bizarre and wrote that Trump criticized again for not having won the prize. According to Foltán, Trump claimed that he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for resolving eight wars: between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Hamas. According to Foltán, Trump also stated that he prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, helped bring home all Israeli hostages including the last 28, both living and deceased, and negotiated the release of over 900 political prisoners from Eastern Europe. He also claimed that he brought home 196 hostages without ransom, forced NATO countries to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, and removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. The other two wars, in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, he claimed were still in the planning stages for resolution or victory. Foltán stated that Trump questioned the merits of the woman in the photo he shared in his post and criticized the Nobel Prize as well as Norway. According to him, Trump claimed that the prize should have been awarded to the United States and labeled its awarding as a discredit to the accolade. #Trump #NobelovaCenaMíru #Politika (translated)
