Now we can add another crime against humanity, the genocide in Gaza.
Claes Thulin, Ljungsbro

Aid and Foreign Trade Minister Benjamin Dousa (M) says to « studio an » In Sweden’s Radio, the government does everything it can to push Israel to admit humanitarian assistance to the Gazabs and mention the (occasional) meetings the government had with Israeli ministers. Calculated together with the meetings all European governments have had with Israel since the start of the Gaza War they will be many. The result of them, on the other hand, is as lean as the starving children in Gaza. Dousa admittedly mentioned that Sweden worked for extended sanctions against Israeli settlers on the West Bank, but blamed disagreement within the EU. But when asked about stopping arms exports to Israel, it became painful to hear how completely unresponsive he was. And this is where the shoe seems to squeeze. Could it be that the government does not even want to work for a coalition countries that introduce sanctions on the Israeli decision makers and authorities who bear the responsibility for the Israeli warfare in Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank? Benjamin Dousa, speak to us citizens as the thinking people we are and tell us how it is!

If you want to support Donald Trump and his hovers, you should: Buy a Tesla, have an account on Facebook, have an account on Instagram, have an account on X and shop on Amazon. And more. Think!

Maybe we should obey the decree from the rulers in the United States and prohibit the words diversity (Diversity), justice (Equity) and integration (Inclusion). And instead, wholeheartedly work for simplicity, injustice and exclusion as words of honor. Is all agreed?

Trump has many similarities to a leader in the 1930s. Annexation of other countries (Anschluss), the same distrust of science and universities. The same boundless belief in itself. Where did the country stand up for freedom and democracy the way?

Dance song for freedom of speech 2.0
The wild in the White House
Want to silence all criticism.
With power he wants to destroy
And create a calabic.

Ericsson he has been pushed
with the power and threat of money,
But we stand strong together
And fights hard.

Us can never silence
when united we stand.
For our right to speak
is the basis for how we feel.

The tyrant in Turkey
that cannot withstand criticism,
oppresses and condemns
Quite ordinary journalism.

In Sweden here weaken
Our own integrity
with cameras, secret listening
And everything we don’t know.

We deaf with stupid series
With lies, promises, boast.
As the welfare is now quickly scrapped
by the prose of evil.
Marika Hagelthorn, Gothenburg

Never have well also so many politicians and authorities’ thumbs held for a continued limestone mining in Slite … …

In the basic regulation of the AP funds, it claims that they are not allowed to invest in unlisted securities. Nortvolt was not a public business. Since the funds must have in their goal of securing pensions for citizens, investments must be made in securities that are public and traded in an open market so that they have an economic value for the development of the investment. Now the funds acted in a way that they can be attributed so that they can make reconstruction where companies play billions. The act of citizens’ money is disrespectful. Apparently there is no interest in taking responsibility for the possessions of others.

Speaking of Liberals’ difficulties: The former party leader Jan Björklund’s appointment to national marshal is a symbol of how easily liberal principles are abandoned for status, tradition and own gain. How many applicants were there for this state service? Were there any previous qualifications that made him suitable? How does salary setting happen? What is the salary? « Various fate’s lots fall, fat sausages sought all, many reached the height of happiness, others had to go like a fallow sausage bent. » Quotes from sausage dealers Bengtsson.

Center party Sven-Olle Olsson in Sjöbo went ahead in the refugee issue and paved the way for the hostile immigrant policy in Sweden. This happened in Skåne, the region in Sweden where farmers lived well on immigrant seasonal workers, with abusive working conditions, over the centuries. « Svin-Olle » was excluded from the partybut has the flour become cleaner in the center party bag?

Regardless of party sympathies, it is impossible to disregard the skewed message in A leadership article By DN’s Susanne Nyström that SD leader Jimmie Åkesson was never so close to realizing her political visions as now and that it would never have happened if the bourgeoisie did not open the door. As is well known, we have democratic elections in Sweden and lastly voted just over 20 percent on SD, which made it necessary for M, L and KD to include cooperation with them to be able to form a government at all. It was hardly anything warm welcoming into the heat but more of a necessary evil. Nyström concludes by writing that « just like 20 years ago, when the Alliance was young, it is quite possible to bump the door again ». Sure they can do it but then they immediately roll out of the desirable throne in Rosenbad. Neither democracy nor politics are simple concepts, but the former has in any case given rules such as voting rights, thus the policy that is of course to reflect the will of the people.

Reply to submissions about Sollefteå Hospital (Noted on May 6): The usual misunderstanding is evident in this text. It is Region Västernorrland that takes care of the hospital and the care. The defense and civil preparedness, mentioned in the submitter, is the government’s responsibility. If the health care is made state, it can be a more equal care in the country!

As a professional driver, you can be stressed by your employer, so that you get stuck for speeding. You can then be punished in three different ways at the same time: high fines, withdrawn driving licenses and lost jobs (since the employer can only offer jobs, where a driver’s license is required). If, on the other hand, you have the Police Authority as an employer and be stressed so that you do not receive a police report or immediately close a preliminary investigation into obvious violence against a woman – yes, then you go completely free from punishment! How can a service error have such different consequences depending on whether you are a professional driver or an official of the police?
Gunnar Johansson, Älta

Was a little surprised when I took in Scandic Hotel in Lund, which is a bit outside the center and most guests arrive by car. Now the parking costs SEK 100 per day, SEK 80 for the night. A hotel for the traveler where the room suddenly became SEK 100 more expensive, no not the room but the total cost.

Is there anything uglier on a man than a reverse cap? When will something more appealing come? A nice hat! Away with the cap mod on men!

Ugh, what disappointed I was at Ikea when I read in DN Culture About their side table « Stockholm 2025 ». I have always thought that it is a company that has been good and real, but now it has become as greedy as everyone else. If they do not want to call the table « Eve », as it is called from the beginning, then of course it should have been named « Signell 2005 ».

American film duties – a vision:
Looking forward to the next Bond movie, « A good day to die 2 ». It is completely recorded in Mar-A-Lago. In the lead role, we see the art -loving protagonist and the role of Miss Moneypenny, as expected to Melania, which is also seen in the role of the dangerous Russian beauty. When she was born abroad, she rightly claims that her gage should be increased by 100 percent. The mysterious, razor -sharp villain, who wants to redo humanity, is embodied according to reliable sources by Elon Musk. Several known faces are expected to maintain the film audience, according to the advance information from the production company.

Regarding the nice SVT program « Garden times » I am constantly marveling at the choice of music: largely only American. Surely almost everything has to be music?
Tommy Wallster, Bridge

That the popular SVT program « Go’kväll » Now is closed down Maybe not so strange. If you drive with a standing feature every week called « Make me! » Should you not be surprised if someone finally takes this appeal seriously.

Opinions about DN

Reply to leadership article « The Kebab Break is over – we have lost to the boring moons » By Max Hjelm: I live on Hornsberg’s beach and my windows face out against the mentioned in the article pergola. The pergola is used every summer for South American dances. During the summer months, hundreds of people gather outside my windows. The music and dance are not disturbing, but people who drink, roar and scream through the nights are very disturbing. We are an old couple, once political refugees from a country that threw us out because of our ethnicity, in addition children to Holocaust survivors. Author of the article calls us boring moons and implied to racists and that we have to blame ourselves because we knew where the apartment was located. It is insulting and not true. When we moved in, there were neither houses, restaurants, parks nor pergolas at Hornsberg’s beach. The park at Hornsberg’s beach is very beautiful and is used by many, as is the pergola where you can meet friends and family, but instead it is always busy.

It is undeniably that if man is unable to introduce immediate and great measures to reduce warming, we will soon be facing enormous consequences for humanity. Of course, this causes great concern in many people. What is then DN’s psychologist’s advice To handle this? To do something about the basic problem? No without the following:
“1. Do what feels meaningful and soothing in the moment.
2. Align your focus away from the global perspective and more towards the local.
3. Delibe yourself to prosocial behaviors – that is, helping others. It can be about supporting a neighbor or extending a hand to a friend.
4. Recognize that things happen in the world that cannot be controlled. Try to live with the uncertainty rather than fight it.
5. Stop reading the news if it makes you feel worse. ABSOLUTELY NO DOOMSCROLLING.
6. Movement and physical activity. « 
So to affirm the present and shift focus from the global to the small contexts, to accept that you cannot influence what is happening in the world and definitely not read the news. And so little jogging on it. So the harmonious man stands there and closes and smells of the flowers. Good luck!
