Israel has accused the Greens of giving “legitimacy to terrorism” after Zack Polanski’s party adopted a controversial policy stating that Zionism is racism.

The Israeli foreign ministry said that the “shocking resolution” passed at the party’s autumn conference in Brighton legitimises “the elimination of the State of Israel through armed struggle” ⤵️

MORE: The situation in Oleshky and the Kremlin’s deliberate non-response reveal a certain logic to Russian occupation policies in Ukraine that rely heavily on the mutually reinforcing conditions of humanitarian deprivation and imposed occupation governance. Russia’s occupation of Oleshky and surrounding Kherson Oblast settlements created conditions of manufactured dependence on the occupation administration for basic administrative and bureaucratic functions that, in turn, were necessary for the conduct of everyday life. This dependence intensified the more isolated Oleshky became from both Ukrainian-controlled territory across the Dnipro River and other occupied settlements in Kherson Oblast. Russia has further weaponized the dependence resulting from its occupation by exacerbating conditions of humanitarian deprivation in the Oleshky area. Russia has systematically failed to respond decisively to the level of need displayed by the populations it occupies, instead using deprivation conditions as a means of further consolidating its control over occupied areas.

Russia notably applied a similar template during its siege of Mariupol between March and May 2022. Russian military operations effectively blockaded the city, Russian forces inhibited humanitarian evacuation efforts, and Russian occupation officials used deprivation of food, water, heating, and medical care as a method of warfare to consolidate further control of the area and its residents.

Ukrainian lawyers submitted a dossier to the International Criminal Court in 2024 alleging that Russia engaged in a deliberate pattern of starvation tactics in Mariupol — conditions eerily similar to the current situation in the Oleshky area.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)SPECIAL REPORT | NEW: Oleshky: How Russia Governs Through Humanitarian Decline

The ongoing humanitarian crisis in the occupied Oleshky area reflects the coercive logic of Russian occupation governance in a heavily damaged frontline city. Oleshky has become a test case for Russian rule in an area marked by depopulation, damaged infrastructure, chronic insecurity, and growing isolation from the rest of Ukraine. Rather than reversing these conditions, Russian occupation authorities appear to govern through them, leveraging residents’ increasing dependence on occupation-controlled services, institutions, and administrative systems to sustain control. As humanitarian vulnerabilities deepen and alternatives to occupation governance diminish, humanitarian decline and Russian occupation rule become mutually reinforcing.

Russian forces occupied these left bank settlements on February 24, 2022 — the first day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine — during the initial military push to occupy all of Kherson Oblast from positions in occupied Crimea. Russian troops largely maintained a distance from Oleshky itself in the first few weeks of the invasion, and remaining elements of the Ukrainian city administration attempted to organize self-governance efforts and self-sufficient security patrols while refusing to directly cooperate with Russian soldiers. Geolocated images show Russian forces had officially entered Oleshky as of late March 2022, breaking the tacit governance agreement that had been in place with the remaining Ukrainian officials. Russian forces and occupation officials took full control of Oleshky in late April 2022, however, and about 40 percent of the pre-war population fled to Ukrainian-held territory while security checkpoints were still open.—  https://x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/2106036490602000631

German Chancellor Merz:

“The Russian economy cannot wage this war indefinitely. We know that the Russian economy has already reached its pain threshold: 7% inflation, a 14% central-bank rate, falling oil and gas revenues and an increasingly large state deficit.”

🔴ELIMINATED: Muad Gamal Abu Nuseira, a commander in Hamas’ military wing & Mahmoud Ibrahim Dib Alyan, a terrorist in Hamas’ observation unit.

Recently, he was identified advancing terrorist activities against IDF troops in the area of the Yellow Line & working to restore Hamas’ capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The terrorists were eliminated in Gaza in order to remove the threat they posed.

“Super intelligence” is replacing “artificial intelligence” at Musk’s AI venture. SpaceXAI will become SpaceXSI, adopting the term President Trump has been pushing.

Musk confirmed it on X: “Yes, we will make that change.”
