Anti-Semitism in Europe? It still exist.

Image
Unbelievable in our modern times. Indeed, to paint swastikas on Jewish graves visualizes real antisemitism. This is different from opposing Israel's policies whereby for instance the current PM Netanyahu suggests a slightly less radical extreme right Jewish party to fuse with a more extreme one so they can have sufficient votes to be elected for parliament and with the promise they will receive two ministers in Israel's next government. And thus each may bow for the other to remain/gain power and rule the land. One of these parties is so extreme they want the removal of any Palestinian from Israel and install a Jewish theocracy while the Palestinians may be the Jews who didn't leave their land after the Jews were defeated by Emperor Hadrian and later converted to Islam as earlier some Jews converted to Christianity. Indeed, each society has its extreme right and who consider themselves as Übermenschen. And as it seems it is prophesied that Israel will one day become Jew...

(12r) Climate change - so much more than only a change in the climate

Image
Again a climate march Sunday, 27/01/2019. Another march in favour of actions to halt climate change. As the month before, the weather was terrible but still the number of people who turned up was amazing, about 70.000 because people are sick of excuses from certain politicians and powerful leading figures in industries who slowdown necessary investments in newer and cleaner energy but also in less energy-demanding products, investments that will create work. And thus, instead of only complaining without doing something, people go out and show they agree with politicians who take actions to encourage them to continue. Of course, on condition everyone and certainly the rich contribute and not only the masses of ordinary people so they impoverish while the wealthy become even richer; then indeed we may fall together. Although climate change skeptics say it's only a natural cycle and humans are not to blame. Indeed, some politicians still don't seem to understand the urgenc...

(13a) Europe and its not always friendly neighbours

Unfortunately but true what's written in this article . There are certain elements in society who want the failure of the EU. One of them is the religious right in America such as the Tea Party who think the EU is evil while they don't understand the evil in their own thinking. And these elements sicken society as they repeat again and again their own truth in their own media and social media. And indeed, the EU's reaction to save Greece after the financial sector targeted it was not a hopeful sign. The EU, founded after a terrible war to unite people and prevent another catastrophe. And thus now it seems the EU is surrounded by countries which leaders don't like the EU very much such as - Russia (Europe celebrated the collapse of the Soviet union but now fears its own collapse), - Turkey (that is sick that the EU lectures it while refuses to honour its promise that it can join the EU), - the US (many are tired that Europeans look down on them and their values while the...

Unemployment further decreases in Flanders

I just heard that for the past years unemployment decreased in Flanders (and probably in Belgium). Congratulations for the politicians who achieved this. The result is that it becomes more difficult to find sufficient employees with the right qualifications for all the work that needs to be done. Still, politicians continue to lobby industries to convince them to invest more in Flanders (Belgium). And thus, - either the migration is God's gift and not a crisis as we can educate and employ those migrants so work can be done here; - or we should consider a controlled implantation of new companies (without old industries moving to cheaper regions) such as in eastern Europe so there too are more well paid jobs. The result is that fewer East-Europeans move to West Europe for jobs while here an abundance of companies is avoided and with it shortages in employees but also a standstill of traffic and with it the possibility that companies move to less populated areas with fewer traffic ...
