  • I mostly know Leiterwagen or Löschfahrzeug or Einsatzwagen. Feuerwehrauto is what children say. Also “Wagen” makes sense because when there is an emergency you refer to the multitude of vehicles that move out and the group of people as a “Löschzug” an “extinguishing unit” but Zug also means train and a train has “wagons” -> Wagen





  • Zionist media reports that he fled to Argentinia with an unspecified assistance.

    They enjoyed parties and peaceful life for two weeks until yesterday when a call came from the consul, saying there was an arrest warrant against the soldier and that he had to fly out of there quickly. The friends unanimously decided not to leave him alone. That night they received assistance and crossed the border into Argentina."

    Abutbul added that the last conversation with his son was at five in the morning. “They said they were in Argentina and everything was fine. When I spoke to my son, I suggested he continue the trip in Argentina and not come home. Coming home is a prize for the Palestinians, and they would also ruin their trip. I’m not worried now. At first, I was worried and told them to cross the border. When I understood that they were helped to cross the border, I calmed down.”

    Note how him partying and taking trips abroad is seen as more important, than the lifes and livelihoods of humans they annihilated.

    The entitlement and total dehumanization should be a warning to everyone that still allies with Israel. These soldiers and their supporters are ticking timebombs.

    Also it is quite ironic, that they are fleeing to Argentina, where many German Nazi War Crimimals fled after WW2.




  • Effective and efficient can be different. Some sanctions could be very effective, as in they ultimately achieve the intended goal, but very inefficient as they use a lot of resources. Other sanctions might not be effective on their own, but could be very efficient, as they us very little resources on your own side.

    For the latter iirc. when Trump started a trade war with the EU, the EU mostly sanctioned agricultural products from areas where Trump was particularly popular. It didn’t cause that much damage to the US economy, but it was very cheap for the EU to substitute these products and caused disproportionate political damage.







  • The life of the Prophet Mohammed sas. is a great example of statecraft, going from a persecuted outcast in his own city to challenging the Roman and Persian empire within two decades. People saying Islam would not or should not be political are missing the key notions about how social and religious values are deeply integrated with politics.

    The same holds true for Jesus, who challenged the corruption of politics and religion in his time and Moses, who is the O.G. insurrectionist liberator. Also Moses is the most mentioned prophet in the holy Quran.

    All Abrahamic religions are inherently political.

    One could also argue that all politics are inherently religious, creating false objects of worship, like money and the individual, glorified dictators or a twisted understanding of collectives.
