In Estonia and Western Europe, the product selection of the same store chain may not be identical, as it depends on different regulations, local taste preferences, and purchasing power, which is why new owners also bring their own branded products to the stores and adjust the selection according to the target audience of Estonians. #kaubanduskett #Eesti #toiduturg (translated)

Henri Vanhanen demanded the publication of Tiitinen's list. He stated that he had supported its release before and assessed that the secrecy maintained for over 30 years had generated mystique around the list that was no longer beneficial. Vanhanen pointed out that the names on the list would not prove anyone guilty, in his opinion. He believed that publishing it would help distinguish known facts from the speculation that had arisen over the decades. Vanhanen also connected the issue to the open handling of Finland's Cold War history. He wrote that transparency was important in the current discussion on security policy, influence, and the actions of foreign powers. https://t.co/j8CXiiVumh #TiitisenLista #Avoimuus #Historia (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)

Heikki Pursiainen criticized Finnish economic discussion as limited based on two recently published columns in Helsingin Sanomat. According to him, Korkman described what should not be cut and believed that adjustments were necessary but did not propose any cuts. Pursiainen claimed that Korkman also criticized the government’s policies without offering alternatives. Pursiainen wrote that he found Teittinen’s reflections good in themselves but believed they underestimated Finns' ability to impact matters. He argued that Teittinen suggested that adjustments would probably be politically impossible and that Finland's fate depended on economic conditions and Russia. Pursiainen assessed that there could be many actions: he mentioned more encouraging social security, cutting business subsidies, tuition fees, and abandoning incentives for staying home as a parent. He added that for conservatives, a smaller public sector was a goal and not a reason for lamenting, and in his view, adjustments did not threaten the foundations of the welfare state. Pursiainen indicated that economists should also present their own solutions for discussion and negotiation. #Suomi #Taloustiede #Politiikka (translated)

Alex Günsberg wrote that he considered the only acceptable model for development aid to be that the parliament would leave the Finnish people's money alone and open a voluntary donation account. According to him, taking the funds of one's own people by force and sending them elsewhere should be considered treason. #kehitysapu #Suomi #lahjoitukset (translated)

The author wrote that the cockpit doors of airplanes were armored after the attacks on September 11 to counter threats, but on the Flydubai flight, the threat was, according to him, at the co-pilot's seat. He claimed that Oman Air had reportedly shelved that person, but they still managed to access the cockpit again. According to the author, security depended on how information flowed between national borders and organizations. #turvallisuus #lentoturvallisuus #uhka #OM #AE (translated)

Elina Hiltunen wrote that, in her opinion, people were expected to constantly perform, be independent, and emphasize their own accomplishments or identity, even though not everyone could manage alone or was perfect. She described such belief systems as ruthless. Hiltunen stated that in Christianity, salvation could not be achieved by one's own deeds or rules, but it was a gift from Jesus. According to her, no one was better than others, and everyone needed grace. She wrote that receiving the gift made a person love their enemies as well. Hiltunen encouraged those who saw Christianity as rules and abstaining from fun to get to know Jesus with an open mind. She recommended starting with the New Testament instead of the Bible and asked readers to share their thoughts and join her Instagram community to discuss the topic. She also urged sharing the video further. #armo #kristinusko #yhteisö (translated)

Tuomo Saarni compared the state’s borrowing to people shifting their own expenses onto their neighbors and children. He wrote that the debts taken on by the state would be left for the children to pay, and tightening taxation on others would shift the bill to others. Saarni argued that real cuts in public finances could only be discussed when public sector expenditures consisted solely of statutory duties; until then, it would, in his opinion, be a matter of trimming expenses. #valtio #talous #lainat (translated)
