Israel and Iran bomb each other and only a single misinterpretation of the events is needed for the entire Middle East to stand on fire again and a third world war can stand at the door. On both sides of religious fanatics who are convinced that their God will save them to heaven, while all of us others can burn in their hell. And in the United States, the only superpower that could prevent them, sits a pretender junction that is governed by ultra -religious darkness who believe that Trump is sent by God to finally destroy the earth and all of us sinners. Anyone who believed that the religious wars belonged to the dark Middle Ages certainly needs to look around the world.

The conflicts in the world escalate. Russia in Ukraine, Israel in Gaza, Trump in the United States … It creates stress and raises the level of conflict in Sweden as well. I think you hear the social debate that the contradictions are increasing. Groups are placed against groups, politicians live under threats and hatred, in social media spread than one and the other in loose contexts difficult to respond and source control. Only that is true with your own opinion, it is ok to publish, hello wild. I think it is important to sense and think about how to express yourself not to increase the level of conflict in society and escalate politician disdain. We still have a democracy that we should be afraid of in a responsible way. We have politicians and a government elected by the people. They should be reviewed and criticized, but not hedged.
Tomas Edström, Stockholm
Concerning The action of the Rojava Committees Against Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard’s residence where signs and flags have been stacked: It is true that in a democracy there is room to show their views in different ways, but to do so outside a property is just stupidity. The location outside a property is usually a « individual area » and there is no room to demonstrate. It should also not be part of your « mission » to inform the Foreign Minister’s neighbors what you think. You may do as we others: write a submitter or apply for permission to demonstrate on Sergel’s square.

In the past, Jimmie Åkesson (SD) has had a hard time distance from Nazism and Putins, Orbáns and Trump’s and regimes respectively. Now he himself and his party friends obviously have difficulty in distancing From the MC gang’s leadership figures.

The international trade in children adopted in Sweden shows interesting ideological change among liberals. The old original liberalism from Adam Smith’s time was about the individual’s freedom in a feudal society where nobility, priests and rich citizens who owned industries had all power. However, contemporary liberal ideology, neoliberalism, has departed from the individual’s freedom as a goal and replaced it with free capital and free markets as a guideline. By a free economy, they mean that everything resolves for the best. What we see in today’s debate about international adoption is a clear example of what happens when you release the idea of the individual’s well -being as a starting point and replace it with the idea of the freedom of capital. Another example we see on this phenomenon is the development of nursing about nature. Although neoliberalism with its free markets creates increased growth, it does not solve all problems, on the other hand, it creates new ones.

The activists around Greta Thunberg failed to break Israel’s hunger blocked With Freedom Flotilla’s boat Madleen, which was on its way with emergency help against Gaza. But ships from anyone who likes to write democracy and human rights on their flags were absent without apology. Where were emergency relief vessels from Ulf Kristersson, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Pedro Sánchez and Donald Tusk? To name a few. Only such an international fleet would have been sufficient to save the Palestinian people from starvation. It is not enough for experts in international law to conclude that the cutting of the sailing vessel is contrary to the Convention on the Sea. « If the blockade has the only or main purpose of starving the civilian population or to deprive the civilian population objects that are essential for its survival. So it is not allowed, » says Jann Kleffner, professor of international law at the Swedish Defense College. After today’s first -page article in DN, there should no longer have any doubt about it. Even the Swedish government feels frustration that Swedish assistance does not reach those who need it in Gaza, ”says Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) and Minister of Debt Benjamin Dousa (M) at a press conference.” The decisive factor is that food, medicine and water reach the civilian population. “Using it as a combat method is a war crime, says Maria Malmer Stenergard. But what does all this help if the law is not complied with when no ship arrives, loaded with supplies?

In yesterday’s televised program, where Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari declined to become the leader of the Liberals, it was revealed that Sweden only takes responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions that takes place within Sweden’s territorial limit. Since all gases are known to be spread throughout the atmosphere, this means that Sweden is trying to live up to the Paris Agreement with the help of pure nonsense. With serious consequences. For the Gold Bridge at Slussen in Stockholm, which was manufactured in China, it was towed at sea over almost half the globe and placed perfectly in place, Sweden only takes responsibility for emissions caused by towing the short route over Swedish territorial water. Something for all Swedes to deeply ponder.

On October 27, 1981, two Swedish helicopters were five kilometers from the Russian submarine U137 without observing this (DN 12/6). A Swedish submarine was later five kilometers from the submarine without seeing it. Of course, our defense should have discovered the submarine when it passed so close. One can question how our defense works, not least in these troubled times.

The main leader of the day in DN Is yet another proof of Ulf Kristersson’s inadequacy as prime minister. Finland is far ahead of us when it comes to self -sufficiency and sustainable infrastructure in times of crisis. Embarrassing!

Advertisement in DN on June 13: Apple Maps informs that they are sending out staff around Swedish soil to reconnect details for their new digital map of Sweden. I am amazed! Do they have permission from our government? Do our defense force know about this? They reasoned superficially about integrity, but I have not been informed as a landowner. Can I expect an upcoming intrusion? The Apple staff who will be ironing around in our chips easily identifies themselves with backpacks labeled Apple maps. Any spy can fake the simplified method, as picture of the brand is already displayed in the ad. Is it planning for an upcoming invasion from the United States, under Multi-Tech-private cover? Should they at least not identify with Bank ID, which everyone else must in all contexts?

The organization Sweden’s municipalities and regions must intervene when agreements for the municipal councils are written and what restrictions should be included. So here we can’t have it! If It is defendant Former municipal council in Boden Claes Nordmark (S) is sentenced and yet gets his parachute (SEK 1.3 million) and she who has been exposed by him will then receive double bangs. First because she was subjected to rape attempts by the politician and then she is forced to participate in the tax bill and pay to the perpetrator’s parachute.

How many « individual cases » are required before we see the system for what it is? Animal Rights Alliance’s review Of three farms in Kalmar County, animals show in their own stools, lean cows, dirty stables – despite repeated controls. This is not an exception, it is systematic. As long as we see animals as resources, not as knowing individuals, suffering will continue. Animal welfare is not enough when the entire industry is based on the use of animals, kept trapped and dying for our purposes. It is time to change perspectives: from human benefit to the animal’s perspective, their inherent intrinsic value. How many more cases are required before we stop your eyes

Imagine that what was previously called « My former » now always becomes « my ex », which to me sounds like you are talking about a book or a newspaper.
