wiki
Quote The cave was first described in the 17th century by the pioneer of study of karst phenomena, Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, although graffiti inside dated to 1213 indicates a much longer history of use.[5][6] In 1818, when the cave was being prepared for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of the Austria-Hungary, a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally by Luka Čeč, a local man in charge of lighting lamps in the cave. In the 1850s, the Austrian-Czech geographer Adolf Schmidl published the first comprehensive scientific overview of the Postojna caves and the Pivka Basin, which became a standard reference point in the study of speleology.[7]

People in #Ljubljana, #Slovenia, have filled Republic Square with snow mounds representing Palestinians killed by #Israel. they started lighting candles. They noted that in order to light a candle for every Palestinian who's lost their life in Gaza they would've needed 25000 (way more than they could realistically manage).
Is it true that anti-Semites humiliate #Israel with UN resolutions?

I don't want to dwell on the usual suspect countries that never miss an opportunity to smack Israel.
However, it is astonishing that the following countries have agreed to the resolution: #Belgium, #Ireland, #Luxembourg, #Portugal and #Slovenia
(I admit that these countries are all in the #EU, so I have not chosen them entirely at random. I could write a thousand-page essay on what is wrong in these countries. However, in my opinion I am sure that these countries are not practicing politically motivated anti-Semitism.)
So what can be so horrible about the resolution? source: https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=A%2FRES%2F77%2F247
Decides, in accordance with Article 96 of the Charter of the United
Nations, to request the International Court of Justice, pursuant to Article 6 5 of the
Statute of the Court, to render an advisory opinion on the following questions,
considering the rules and principles of international law, including the Charter of the
United Nations, international humanitarian law, international human rights law,
relevant resolutions of the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Human
Rights Council, and the advisory opinion of the Court of 9 July 2004:(a) What are the legal consequences arising from the ongoing violation by
Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, from its prolonged
#occupation, #settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since
1967, including measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character
and status of the Holy City of #Jerusalem, and from its adoption of related
discriminatory legislation and measures?(b) How do the policies and practices of Israel referred to in paragraph 18 (a)
above affect the legal status of the occupation, and what are the legal consequences
that arise for all States and the United Nations from this status?
As written, it is only about an advisory opinion without consequences, since both Israel and the U.S. do not accept the court.

To counter the so called ‘Pride Month’ Meloni’s Italy has launched ‘Family Pride Month’ which will promote traditional family.
Giorgia #Meloni the female #Mussolini Prime Minister of #Italy, received a lot of praise for this move.
Branko Grimes said that we also need this in #Slovenia. “As opposed to June’s #LGBT+ ‘pride parades’, Meloni declared Family Pride Month to promote the traditional family – i.e. true values. An example for #Europe!”
In late May, Russian activist Aisoltan Niyazova was arrested in #Slovenia; a few days later, it happened again in #Croatia. She had come to both countries to take part in Pussy Riot’s charity concert tour. Niyazova began her career working at a bank, but in 2011, she was sent to #prison for allegedly committing fraud; there, she met Maria Alyokhina and became an advocate for prisoners’ rights. Niyazova spoke to Meduza about her recent arrests, her introduction to #PussyRiot, and how her time in prison turned her into an activist.

The new trend of Twitter diplomacy provides us with some good meme material.
#Russia considers #Slovenia's decision to reduce the staff of the #Russian embassy extremely irresponsible and unfriendly, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša posted the following tweet in response.
