Jan Betlach wrote that three years ago, news circulated worldwide claiming that the Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza killed over 500 people. He argued that this number was published by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health just minutes after the explosion, and that the global media disseminated it without verification. Betlach stated that the hospital was hit by a failed Palestinian rocket, which he claimed was likely attributed to the Islamic Jihad by both the Israeli army and Western intelligence services. The rocket reportedly landed in the parking lot of the complex, leaving the hospital building almost untouched; according to him, American intelligence estimated the death toll at around one hundred. Betlach insisted that Israel could not be held responsible for the casualties. He added that Jordan had canceled a summit with Biden in the meantime and that mass anti-Israel demonstrations followed in Arab countries and Western capitals. In Tunisian al-Hamma, he claimed a historic synagogue was set on fire, and in Berlin, Molotov cocktails were thrown at another. He also wrote that the New York Times later admitted to being overly reliant on Hamas's claims, while most media never acknowledged their mistakes. He labeled the report as one of the first sources of hatred against Israel and Jews after October 7, claiming that the media still initially present Hamas's false statements as facts and publish corrections quietly or not at all. #Izrael #Gaza #dezinformace (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that according to The New York Times, Trump's negotiators had suggested increasing the purchase of Russian gas by Europe as a way to get Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine. Vanhanen asked what else the Trump administration could still offer Vladimir Putin. According to Vanhanen, Europe had bought Russian gas worth billions of euros before 2022, but the revenue and influence Russia gained, as well as Europe's energy dependence, did not prevent Putin from invading Ukraine. He believed that Europe had sought to rid itself of Russian energy because the dependency had proven to be a serious geopolitical mistake. Restoring that would, in his view, be a gift to Putin and a setback for European security. Vanhanen wrote that peace could not be built by making war profitable business. He urged Europe to make it clear to Washington that European security and energy policy should not be used as a commodity in negotiations with Putin. https://t.co/c6meL6mr1T #Trump #Putin #energia (translated)

Sonic Youth is een experimentele noiserockband uit New York, opgericht in 1981 door Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore en Kim Gordon. In hun vroege carrière werd de band voornamelijk gerekend tot een band uit de no wave-scene. Hun muziek houdt geen rekening met muzikale conventies. Op dat vlak kregen ze vroeger het label punk opgespeld, enkel en alleen al voor hun kijk op muziek. Het negeren van die muzikale conventies uit zich onder andere in de manier waarop ze hun instrumenten bespelen. Het gebruik van schroevendraaiers, drumstokken, compleet verbouwde gitaren en alternatieve stemmingen vormt de basis van hun muzikale proces. https://hvdommelen.nl/s/SonicY.html

Jura Háček ironically compared the amount of 15 thousand euros for the president's flight ticket with the costs of Macinka's trip to New York. He wrote that Macinka, in his opinion, flew business class to avoid traveling with the president, and that his ticket cost 200 thousand. At the same time, he asked whether it was not more serious that the ministry paid 360,000 for tickets, even though, according to him, the travelers could have used a government special flight that landed in New York at the same time. In the post, he also stated that Boris labeled the price of 15 thousand euros as unusual, while according to AI's response, it was low. #politika #letenky #vláda (translated)
