Jan Betlach described the story of the crews of the 118th squadron from the morning of October 7, 2023, which he claimed originated from the Israeli Air Force. Four Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters left the Tel Nof base with the mission to transport paratroopers to the border with Gaza. Each carried approximately 50 soldiers, more than usual, and the crews, according to Betlach, did not receive air cover because other aircraft were protecting the border fence. Near the kibbutz Alumim, the lead helicopter spotted men on motorcycles, whom the crew deemed likely Palestinian terrorists. While attempting to land elsewhere, the aircraft was hit and made an emergency landing. The onboard mechanic, according to Betlach, manually opened the back doors, and all approximately 50 soldiers exited unharmed. The second helicopter dropped off its soldiers and waited while gunfire and mortar shells fell on the crew. The crew of the hit aircraft ran across open terrain to it; shortly after, their abandoned helicopter was struck by another rocket. Betlach reported that the second pilot had a gunshot wound to the leg, and something was leaking from the tail of the second aircraft. The wounded pilot, according to him, returned to the cockpit a few hours later, and the paratroopers continued to engage in fighting near Beeri and Alumim. #Izrael #armáda #konflikt (translated)

Jan Betlach stated that Naama Abu Rashid was, in his opinion, the youngest known victim of the massacre on October 7th and lived for 14 hours. Her mother, Sudjúd, an Israeli Bedouin in her ninth month of pregnancy, according to his post, was traveling with her husband in labor pains to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba when their car was fired upon by Palestinian terrorists at the Magen intersection. Sudjúd was hit in the stomach, and the child was injured even before birth. According to Betlach, doctors tried to save both the mother and the child; Naama was born alive but died after 14 hours. Betlach claimed that the attackers did not care that the family was Arab and Muslim, nor that Naama was a newborn. He urged people to remember her name when commemorating the victims of October 7th. He marked the post as another part of a series about the actions of Palestinian terrorists. #Paměť (translated)

The author claimed that the SPD wanted to present a roadmap for a social democratic rule and to control both voters and the media more strongly. The party, which portrayed itself as a defender of democracy, thereby contributed to its end, according to his representation. https://t.co/eKL2yxQHzn #SPD #Demokratie #Politik #DE (translated)

The author accused Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of terminating the remaining independence of the Federal Constitutional Court. As evidence, he referred to Steinmeier's statement that judges could not be neutral when it comes to the violation of the Basic Law. #Bundesverfassungsgericht #Rechtsstaat #Grundgesetz #DE (translated)

The Death of the Insult There was a time when being called an idiot was not a public-health emergency. You were called an idiot. You called the other person an idiot. Perhaps you argued, perhaps you fought, perhaps you laughed, had a beer and forgot about it. That may sound primitive. It was also a social technology. In traditional honor culture, an insult was a challenge: if someone attacked your status, you were expected to answer. Men in particular developed cultures of teasing, mockery and competitive abuse in which the ability to give and take an insult could itself demonstrate confidence. Then came dignity culture, with a liberating idea: you don’t have to care what everyone thinks of you. An insult does not necessarily diminish you. Someone else’s contempt does not become your inferiority simply because they express it. Now something else is emerging. Sociologists Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning describe victimhood culture, in which interpersonal offences increasingly become public grievances. The offended party seeks recognition, an audience and sometimes institutional intervention. The old question was: “Are you going to say that to my face?” The dignity question was: “Why should I care what you think?” The new question increasingly seems to be: “Who can I report this to?” This may illuminate an uncomfortable gender difference. Men have historically been more permitted to insult and confront one another directly, while women have often had greater incentives to avoid direct confrontation and use social pressure, criticism and complaint. Neither pattern is exclusively male or female, but cultural habits matter. The danger is a society so determined to protect people from offence that it forgets to teach them how to withstand it. There is a difference between being harmed and being insulted, between injustice and discomfort, and between demanding justice and demanding that nobody make you uncomfortable. We may have travelled from honor, to dignity, to grievance. And perhaps the most subversive sentence left is also the simplest: “Yes, he insulted you. So what?”

Kann mir keiner erzählen, dass die beim ZDF nicht ganz genau wussten, dass sie Philipp Amthor politisch beerdigen, wenn sie diese Doku so senden. Die Bilder an sich sind ja schon katastrophal. Aber das ZDF hat das dann auch nochmal so zusammengeschnitten, dass es echt maximal unangenehm rüberkommt. #ZDF #PhilippAmthor #Politik

Madison Beer sobre su colaboración con Fortnite: "Me encanta Fortnite, juego muchísimo. Siempre he soñado con esto. Cuando me añadieron un gesto, fue el mejor día de mi vida hasta ahora.
