(Eigener Bericht) – Auch nach dem Abschluss eines Deals mit der EU zur Flüchtlingsabwehr lässt Tunesiens Regierung Hunderte Flüchtlinge in die Wüste deportieren. Wie tunesische #Menschenrechtler berichten, sind am vergangenen Freitag mindestens 300 Flüchtlinge aus #Tunis in die #Wüste an der tunesisch-algerischen Grenze abgeschoben worden – ohne #Wasser und #Nahrung. Als EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der #Leyen am 16. Juli 2023 den #Flüchtlingsabwehrdeal mit dem tunesischen Präsidenten unterzeichnete, waren gerade 1.200 Flüchtlinge in die Wüste an der tunesisch-libyschen Grenze deportiert worden; mindestens 27 von ihnen verdursteten. Die EU belohnt #Tunesien für die #Flüchtlingsabwehr mit dreistelligen Millionensummen. Scharfe Kritik wird nun auch an dem neuen Flüchtlingsabwehrdeal laut, den die EU in der vergangenen Woche mit dem #Libanon geschlossen hat. Er sieht wie die Flüchtlingsabwehrdeals mit Tunesien und mit #Ägypten die Zahlung hoher Summen an die libanesische Regierung vor. Im Gegenzug soll #Beirut die Reise syrischer Flüchtlinge nach #Zypern unterbinden. Ägypten schiebt Flüchtlinge nach Abschluss eines Deals mit der EU sogar ins #sudanesische #Kriegsgebiet ab.
Following is a thread of quotes from #TheGlobalJigsaw latest episode on the #IRGC, #Quds force, #Basij militias - and th ideological blueprint for #Iran so called Axis of Resistance. Whole episode here:
Another #Iranian - the current mayor of the capital #Tehran - put it even more bluntly. He said that the Islamic Republic now ruled over four Arab capitals: #Baghdad , #Beirut , #Damascus and #Sana’a.
It was a #Libyan journalist in response to #Bush 's axis of evil' speech who said that these three countries instead formed an axis of resistance because they were against colonial and American interests and that phrase went on to be picked up by Iranian media.
You can call it extrajudicial killing abroad, you can call it the targeted execution of an enemy of the state, you can call it the violation of the national territory of a sovereign state, or you can just call it: international state terrorism. #HumanRights#Beirut#Israel
"#Hezbollah vows to respond to the alleged Israeli killing of #Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri outside of #Beirut earlier this evening. 'We affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment,' the Lebanese terror group says in a statement, claiming its fighters are at heightened readiness in order to retaliate"
"Isaac Arazi, who as former president of #Lebanon’s tiny #Jewish community led the rehabilitation of #Beirut’s abandoned Magen Avraham #synagogue, died Tuesday. He was 80.
A lawyer for the community, which numbers less than 30, confirmed his death to Agence France-Presse."
So remember I said this. Gd willing, I will be proven ridiculous: Based on what we have seen, after reading the Netanyahu family history, and based on 75 years of statements and reports, we know this doesn’t end in #Gaza. My call has already been handed : #Beirut is next on his list. A little obvious. Too obvious. Do you think we find natural gas there too? #permanentceasefire. #ceasefirenow
For those who don't remember, #Israel's genocide and invasion is business as usual:
In 1982, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) invaded #Beirut#Lebanon and besieged it for 88 days, killing an estimated 18,000 people. Not a drop of water or a piece of bread was allowed in.
Cette nuit, plusieurs ambassades ont été ciblées par des manifestants en réponse aux massacres commis par l'armée israélienne à Gaza. A Beyrouth (Liban), l'ambassade des États-Unis a même été incendiée.
My friend and comedian Nour Hajjar has been arrested by the Lebanese regime. There's a protest planned now. Pass this along to folks in #Beirut#Lebanon
Thanks to my recent business trip to the US I was able to visit a decidedly comics-barren Newbury Comics store. I stumbled upon Beirut’s Gulag Orkestar, which I’m quite happy to have found.
This beautiful mosaic shows #Dionysos, also known in Latin as #Bacchus or #FatherLiber, pouring wine from a rhyton, a vessel from which wine or water were intended to be drunk or to be poured, either in a libation or at table. In this scene, Dionysos is pouring it to his pet panther.
