SDS added that Slovenia has a lot of work ahead for greater resistance to propaganda in order to reach the level of developed democracies. #demokracija #volitve #propaganda (translated)

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)
