ISW: Russia exploiting far-right #nationalism in Europe against Ukraine

Russia is taking advantage of European far-right nationalist movements' increasingly vocal claims to Ukrainian #territory, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported in its daily assessment on Jan. 29.

Far-right movements in #Hungary and #Romania raised concern this past week after party leaders in their respective countries claimed parts of Ukrainian territory.

“By the summer of #1949, the #Palestinian polity had been devastated and most of its society uprooted,” Khalidi writes.

“Some 80 percent of the #Arab population of the #territory that at #war’s end became the new state of #Israel had been forced from their homes and lost their lands and property.

At least 720,000 of the 1.3 million #Palestinians were made #refugees.

Thanks to this #violent transformation, Israel controlled 78 percent of the territory of former Mandatory #Palestine, and now ruled over the 160,000 #Palestinian #Arabs who had been able to remain, barely one-fifth of the prewar Arab population.”

#Map of U.S. with #native American #territory if they didn't break the #treaty.

The conclusion of the U.S. Indian Claims Commission in 1978 resulted in a map identical to this, which reflected the various claims before the commission and its courts. In some instances, the land marked here as "unceded" was not necessarily land that wasn't included by treaty, but in some cases was land that was promised and reserved for specific uses (i.e., hunting lands). In other cases, the map simply reflected the original territory of a certain #Tribe or #Tribes within which claims for uncompensated takings would be recognized. Anyone interested in reading the report and specifically the preface to the map should check it out here: https://narf.org/nill/documents/icc_final_report.pdf

With regards to #medical #mandates, "#Vaccine passports" and/or "#lockdowns" in the #UK please see:

Sidaway v. Board of Governors of the Bethlem Royal Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital

"A mentally competent patient has an absolute right to refuse to #consent to medical #treatment, for any reason, #rational or #irrational, or for no #reason at all, even where that decision may lead to his or her own #death."

This establishes the #principle of a legal right to #refuse medical treatment, preventative or curative. The ruling has been used in many cases and upheld.
