Considering and adressing so called #neutrality:

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
- #DesmondTutu

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."

"Neutrality in the face of hatred doesn't mean neutrality, it means approval."

Neutrality is just another way of saying "This isn't our war.", thereby ignoring, that every war is everyone's war, because every war tangents #IntLaw and the stances we take towards each war define to wich degree we uphold this law. Neutrality in its core is a violation of the #RomeStatute 's preamble:

I agree with this. In the 1990's Israel legalized torture, then G.W. Bush made an international network of torture centers with zero consequences anywhere. Israel then began to ‘solve’ their conflict with more and more assassinations, openly and proudly, and the US followed suit. They used to hide their murders in say, Italy, but soon they may kill *openly* in Europe.
Now Israel is exterminating the Ghazans, and soon the US will (try) to do… something.

Leute wie #DaphneWeber werden solange von #Diplomatie und einer Verhandlungslösung mit #putinrussland phantasieren, bis sie im #Raschismus aufwachen. Und sich dann fragen, wie das nur passieren konnte.

Und Nein, das ist keine Billigung oder auch nur Relativierung des #söder 'schen bullshits, sondern eine Warnung vor der Illusion, #dieSogenannteLinke sei in dieser Hinsicht die bessere Alternative oder oder auch nur das kleinere Übel. Das ist sie nämlich nicht. Auch mit ihr bekommt man #Faschismus; nur halt einen anderen, nämlich den ruZZischen.

This is a real title. No special shade to (or joke about) Germans, we have the same unhinged types over here. All of western Europe has gone crazy(*) it seems.

(*) not sure about the Spaniards yet

The mystery is not why we Irish have responded to Israel’s barbarism. It’s why others have not — The Irish Times
