Starvation threatens Gaza; stands to read in DN. Rahaf Ayad, 12 years, Weighs 12 kilos. She is a child she goes bad. She dreams of meat, eggs and honey. On the table with me lies the cat and the booklet with the UN Conventions on Human Rights. I appeal to immediately end all military efforts against Gaza and open for food deliveries.

The Jewish people have been persecuted, harassed and murdered for 2,000 years, with the culmination of the Nazis’ inconceivable mega murder during the Second World War. The few survivors received a refuge in Israel. Probably it is a tragic irony of monumental measure that the Jewish state is now conducting extermination war against another group of people by bombing cities and at the same time refusing to admit emergency assistance to the civilian population where children now die from starvation. The picture of the exhausted girl in DN 14/5 Reminiscent of pictures from the Nazi extermination camp. How is it possible that the outside world allows this?

There seems to be no limits to racism in Israel, as well as Germany’s during the Second World War. Now the genocide attempts are repeated. Everyone can read. Everyone can see. The bombing. Active sprinkle. Prevention of humanitarian aid. I am an old woman and this can be my death. However, I must continue to live to support those who act and breed those who do not care.

How should I be able to understand what is happening in Gaza day after day? How should I be able to take this slaughter at civilians without just looking away or close your eyes? All of a sudden I am struck by the same feeling as when I saw the liberation of the Jews from the 1945 concentration camps for the first time on film. Stumbling exhausted bodies are liberated by Russian and allied soldiers. Then I felt hope of peace and this peace I have had with me for 75 years now. So today I see the same exhausted and terrified Palestinians who try to take shelter from bombs and starvation. Like a déjà vu or flashback. Today, the whole world gets direct pictures into the living rooms, but we still can’t stop this madness.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) promised that « Get order in Sweden » If he gained power after the election. Now we see the result: a public in decay with nepotism and criminals involved in society’s most sensitive parts such as healthcare, elderly care and others. Furthermore, the Prime Minister does not have courage to say when war crimes in Gaza Walks in front of an open curtain. Maybe you can say that Sweden is about to become a so -called rogue state?

Trump Is like a poison fungus with mycelium that extends all over the earth, and poisoning the world order with the spoken words.

When Russia began its wider war against neighboring Ukraine, the country’s President Zelenskyj received several offers to leave Kiev and Ukraine. He chose to stay despite the risk of being murdered by Putin’s executioners in place in Kiev. This choice meant that Ukraine’s willingness to defense then, as now, contributes strongly to Ukraine being still a free democratic country, despite constant missile and drone attacks against civilian targets from the Russian side. On the Russian side, we then have an example of the exact opposite of Zelenskyj’s courage and intelligence. Putin fails from the summit in Ankara. His patriotism confines itself to the ability to send Russian cannon food to a safe death in Ukraine, while he himself preferably presses in his bunker in true Russian leader tradition. The contrast between who wants peace from these two presidents is so heavenly, that it should be obvious to the United States and Trump where the demands should exist. There, however, you are not directly famous for their logical thinking. Maximizing the support for Ukraine, and the sanctions against Russia, we will probably never see from the US.

On Tuesday, Turkish President Erdogan will visit Hungary at the invitation of the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. I wonder if there are a number of Swedish journalists who are willing to take the flight to Budapest to openly demonstrate and demand that colleague Joakim Medin be released from the prison in Turkey?

Become sad and annoyed at journalists, on DN and in other media, who are not consistent in their issues to rulers when it comes to Palestine and Israel. That Israel has the right to defend himself against Hamas is an axiom. But what about the Palestinians on the West Bank, do they have the right to defend themselves against Israel’s military and illegal settlers? Since October 2023, nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed on the West Bank, part of Palestine where Hamas does not exist. Why does no journalist ask the reasonable question whether Palestine has the right to defend itself? I call for a balanced reporting that is not based on the right of the strong. We know what is happening in Palestine, but most of us close our eyes. So sad.

Our need for electrical energy is increasing, not least for environmental reasons. I am therefore greatly surprised when I Reads in DN that Svenska Kraftnät issues penalty fees to the wind power companies that deliver more electricity than the instantaneous need. This means that several wind power companies do not dare to deliver any electricity at all because of the senselessly high penalty fees. In my eyes totally counterproductive. Shouldn’t Svenska Kraftnät’s task be to control electricity generation and not to issue unreasonable penalties? Only Svenska Kraftnät has a total overview of the energy demand and that should also be able to control production. In our « connected » world there should be no major problem.

IN a press release Report Region Västerbotten on the ongoing environmental work. The proportion of so -called organic foods in the county increased during 2024 to 31 percent. The goal is to reach 60 percent by 2030. But this is not good for the environment. IN An analysis from Lund University (Page 6) Shows Martin Nordin shows that continued expansion of organic agriculture is related to increased production of manure and thus increased animal husbandry. According to the Environmental Code and the Ordinance on environmentally hazardous activities and health protection (1998: 899), agriculture is classified with animal husbandry as environmentally hazardous activities. The goal that the proportion of organic food is nothing that the region has come up with itself. The Riksdag’s food strategy from 2017 states a goal that the proportion of public food consumption should be 60 percent in 2030. The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation is also positive about organic foods. Even among political parties, there is a strange strong support for organic foods. Even bourgeois controlled Täby municipality Writing on his website That it invests in organic.

The Latvians seem to think that they belong to the top teams in ice hockey. They only have one tactic, full speed against the opposing team’s goals. When they then meet top teams during ongoing Hockey World Cup as Canada (0-5) or Sweden (0-6) Will they change tactics? Unlikely. Pang on against the opposing team’s goals only!
