Another sad story from the Middle-East from my friend and human rights defender Badee' Dwaik (he is married to a Dutch lady my friend since many years) who lives with his family in Bethlehem (or in Arabic Beit - Lahman) while the world is focusing on Gaza another horror story is emerging in the Westbank:
Hebron – Tuesday, July 9, 2025
Israeli settlers installed caravans (mobile homes) in the Jabal Al-Rahma area, adjacent to the Tel Rumeida neighborhood in the center of Hebron city, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.
The settlers set up the caravans on privately owned Palestinian land near Yasser Amro School and Al-Rayan Mosque — a move considered the first of its kind in this area.
There are growing concerns that this step may serve as the foundation for a new settlement outpost, signaling a potential escalation and expansion of settlements in the heart of Palestinian neighborhoods. It also threatens to increase the presence of occupation forces in the area and intensify settler attacks against residents and their properties.
This development is regarded as a dangerous escalation in Hebron, a city that has long witnessed a policy of severe apartheid and heavy settler presence, especially in areas near the Old City.

🤝 A Kremlin sentry in Moscow decided to help his comrade.

In the video, the guard approaches his colleague, adjusts his service cap, wipes sweat from his forehead and cheeks with a handkerchief, then carefully straightens the headgear and walks away.

In that less-than-a-minute interaction, they even managed to discuss something – likely the sentry's comfort level.

📌 The current air temperature in Moscow is over +34°C (+93°F). According to the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, no precipitation is expected, and the upper forecast for Friday's heat is +36°C (+97°F).

KRO-Pointer domme propaganda en onprofessionele journalistiek in Nederland

Veel propaganda en mensen door het slijk halen, dat is wat de Nederlandse media tegenwoordig doen, dat noemen ze dan “onderzoeksjournalistiek” foto’s: Freepik, NRC, Den Haag Strategische Studies, bewerking: Mirjam© Foto

De afgelopen weken is er een intensieve lastercampagne gaande, met name gericht tegen mij, maar ook tegen andere Nederlandse en Russisch-Nederlandse burgers. Zelfs de Russische ambassadeur in Nederland is onderdeel van de lastercampagne, uiteraard allemaal in opdracht van de Nederlandse regering, die zich vooral ergert aan mijn berichten op X onder Dick Schoof, maar vooral die onder Ruben Brekelmans en natuurlijk mijn grootste online vijand Mark Rutte. Een andere reden is, zoals ik al eerder schreef, het 18e EU-sanctiepakket, wat tot nu toe (Hongarije en Slowakije blokkeren het) nog niet goedgekeurd is.

Natuurlijk, in hun arrogantie schrijven ze allerlei denigrerende dingen over mij en anderen, zoals domme burgerjournalistiek, propaganda en Kremlin-trollen. Maar in de loop der jaren heb ik ‘eelt op mijn ziel gekregen’ en kan het me echt niet meer schelen wat ze over mij persoonlijk schrijven. Mijn standaard motto is om niet op hun vragen te reageren, want de antwoorden worden altijd verdraaid (mijn jarenlange ervaring). Het enige wat ik schandelijk vind, vandaar dit artikel, is hoe ze mensen door het slijk halen en ze afschilderen als “gekkies” of idioten, zelfs voor ambassadeurs hebben ze geen respect, en hoe ze mijn familie en (overgebleven) vrienden lastigvallen (inbreuk op de privacy) en dat stoort mij enorm.

In Nederland is het zover gekomen dat politici en media alle goede manieren in de omgang zijn kwijtgeraakt en anderen schijnbaar beledigen zonder het te weten wat ze eigenlijk zeggen! Veel van deze mediatypes zijn erg jong en onervaren, en papegaaien alles na wat de overheid hen vertelt zonder onderzoek. Als ze dat wel doen en dan geen feiten kunnen vinden, schrijven ze gewoon leugens. Zo gaat het al jaren en door KI is het natuurlijk nog erger geworden.

#Ukraine. Mother died after her son was taken away for connoscription.
She clung to the vehicle in tears, refusing to let go. An official pushed her away; she collapsed shortly after and died in the ambulance, from a heart attack.

German Generalmajor Freuding was giving a declaration of war on ZDF state TV: "We need weapons systems that reach deep into Russian territory... Germany is prepared to provide such weapons systems...
We (he is stationed in Kiev so much for NATO is not involved ) were able to witness a signing ceremony here between Ukrainian industry and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, financed by Germany! ... The Ukrainian armed forces will receive the first long-range weapons systems from this initiative by the end of this month (July)..."
