The most important measures in the current militarisation of society are the Bundeswehr's massive recruitment campaign and the announced partial reactivation of compulsory military service. This campaign is not only about eliminating the Bundeswehr's ‘personnel shortage’, but also about turning the troops back into the ‘school of the nation’. Young people are to ‘learn to serve’ there again and general compulsory service is invoked as a community and ‘solidarity in the trenches’.

What is scandalous about this plan is the increasing military weapons training of underage young people, who are recruited and trained with weapons with the consent of their legal guardians.

As the German government authorises the recruitment of young people, it is also responsible for the risks and damage. These are serious violations of children's rights and grave breaches of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is also calling for a recruitment age of over 18 in order to prevent the recruitment of child soldiers worldwide. The UN Committee has been calling on the German government to raise the recruitment age to 18 since 2008. However, the German government has so far ignored this call, citing an exemption for state armies in an additional protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The German government is also responsible for the young victims of sexual offences.

Address to the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

“Is it possible that after 42,000 people killed, you cannot empathize with the #Palestinians?”

“Empathy has evaporated from this room, and empathy is the glue that makes us stand united as humanity.”

“I always experience a sense of shock and delusion when I come to this room, because many of you recite the same script you had last year.”

“#Gaza is now a wasteland of rubble, garbage and human remains”

The Myth of the U.N. Creation of Israel

UN Resolution 181 neither partitioned Palestine nor conferred any legal authority to the Zionists for their unilateral declaration of Israel's existence.

There is a widely accepted belief that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 “created” Israel, based upon an understanding that this resolution partitioned Palestine or otherwise conferred legal authority or legitimacy to the declaration of the existence of the state of Israel. However, despite its popularity, this belief has no basis in fact, as a review of the resolution’s history and examination of legal principles demonstrates incontrovertibly

Haaretz: The #Knesset approved in second and third readings a bill that prohibits the operations of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (#UNRWA) in Israel. This was done without actually developing any alternative to UNRWA's operations in the #Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, and despite opposition and criticism from several countries in the West and Arab world. Together with another proposal currently under Knesset discussion, these bills are designed to hinder UNRWA's activities in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, and to cause it economic damage. 92 Knesset members supported the bill, with 10 opposing. Knesset members from Yesh Atid, HaMachaneh HaMamlachti, and Yisrael Beiteinu supported the bill. Labor Party members were absent from the vote.

The #BRICS economic alliance nations has called for the establishment of a #Palestinian State and #ceasefire in #Gaza

Unconfirmed: Iranian government have sent a message to Biden administration and #IAEA that if any Iranian nuclear facility is attacked by Israel, they will remove their #NPT signature and stop cooperating with the #UN and #EU and will reserve "it's right to take all necessary measures" to defend their country against nuclear armed "Zionist entity" .

This comes after a group of hardline members of Iranian parliament (Majles) signed a letter to #Khamenei (who is the spiritual leader and head of Iranian defense forces) to reverse his #Fatwa about illegality of nuclear weapons in Islam and allow the scientists of armed forces to develop a nuclear weapon.

A fatwa by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, against the acquisition, development and use of nuclear weapons[1] dates back to the mid-1990s.[2] The first public announcement is reported to have occurred in October 2003, followed by an official statement at a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna in August 2005.
Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei%27s_fatwa_against_nuclear_weapons

The fatwa was not directly about nuclear weapons, but any form of WMD, production, storage and use of such weapons were declared "Haram", but it also said that in case the country was subjected to such weapons, they will have the permission to use them against "legitimate" targets.

The issue was clarified officially on the wwb site of Khamenei:
https://english.khamenei.ir/news/8398/Religious-and-political-aspects-of-the-ban-on-building-nuclear

In our opinion, in addition to nuclear weapons, all other kinds of weapons of mass destruction – including chemical and biological weapons - are considered to be a serious threat against humanity as well. Having been the victim of chemical weapons, the Iranian nation feels even more than other nations the danger of producing and storing such weapons. Therefore, the nation is ready to use all its resources in the effort to confront them. We consider the use of these weapons to be religiously forbidden, and we believe the effort to immunize all human beings from this grave tragedy is everyone’s responsibility.
