Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

Allowing Russia to sell oil products is an investment in a war that needs to end, not prolong. (…) This is an obvious weakness that plays into Russia's hands. It will be able to kill more people, conduct the war longer, show even less respect for America, and cause the world even greater losses and damage. After the announcement of the agreement, Zelensky stated that Trump’s decision surprised him. #Trump #Putin #nafta (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)

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)

Anne Nevgi wrote that she had read Hiilamo's column and found it full of ideological and anti-Israel interpretations. According to her, the bias of the column was evident in that the facts presented were interpreted in an anti-Israel way and events were framed through colonialism, racism, and whiteness. Nevgi argued that Hamas's brutality was not addressed and the origins of the Gaza conflict were not considered. She stated that the column created a misleading picture and inaccurately equated two different wars. #IsraelinKonflikti #Ideologiat #Propaganda (translated)
