"In #written #submissions for this week’s #trial, Hugh Southey KC, representing Ansari, said: 'The claimant is not a #member of #Hamas. His only association with the #organisation is his instruction as their solicitor in the de-proscription proceedings lodged in April 2025.'"

From a Finnish perspective, it was at times admirable to see how diplomatic and tactful some of these foreigners were, yet at the same time very direct. Of course, I myself am also a foreigner here in Estonia, but when it came to people from other countries, it was admirable and respectful to listen to and observe how both positive and negative communication took place.

Sometimes I also wonder what kind of parent instills so much hatred and fear in a child—feelings that are buried deep and continue to smolder somewhere in a small person’s soul, so that even in adulthood that same pain is projected onto everyone around them. What kind of adult does this to a small child?

Sometimes it’s heartbreaking to notice how considerate, kind, and empathetic people are—especially those who have been treated very badly. At times it hurts to have to draw that line with them, to say that I don’t need help, that everything is fine, that I can stand on my own two feet. It is always heartwarming to know that people like this exist.
