Middle Eastern and North African countries (Algeria - Yemen)

In January 2011 called: 'Eine sich verändernde Welt - Demokratie in Tunesien', eine Chance auch für ein sich veränderndes Europa

(Artikel vom 21. Januar 2011)





Als eine Folge der Weltwirtschaftskrise ab 2007 erleben wir im Winter 2010/2011 in der - seit 1956 von imperialer Protektoratsmacht, nämlich Frankreich (vgl. aktuelle Äußerungen der französischen Außenministerin M. Alliot-Marie) unabhängigen - Präsidialrepublik Tunesien eine Revolution gegen das Regime des Jahrzehnte regierenden Präsidenten Ben Ali und seine Quasi-Staatspartei "Rassemblement constitutionnel démocratique" RCD. Stark gestiegene Lebenshaltungskosten, mangelnde Zukunftsperspektiven insbesondere der Jugend (auch deren gut ausgebildeter Teile) bei hoher Arbeitslosigkeit, das korrupte, autokratische Regime und dessen Unfähigkeit, auf Krisenerscheinungen und Proteste anders als mit Repressalien und Gewalt gegen Demonstranten (nach UN-Angaben mehr als 100 Tote auf der Seite der Opposition) zu reagieren, sind die Ursachen der Revolution (vgl. den Wikipedia-Artikel Revolution in Tunesien 2010-2011 mit einer Chronologie der Ereignisse) und der Flucht Ben Alis nach Saudi-Arabien am 14. Januar 2011. Die Forderungen der Oppositionsbewegung: Entmachtung der Partei RCD, Demokratisierung von Staat und Gesellschaft (daher eine neue Verfassung), Freiheit der Meinungsäußerung, Versammlungs- und Organisationsfreiheit, Neuwahlen.

Aufgrund des nicht nachlassenden Drucks beginnt die amtierende Übergangsregierung ab Mitte Januar unter Präsident Mebazaa (und Ministerpräsident Ghannouchi) sich von der Partei RCD zu lösen, verspricht einen "vollständigen Bruch mit der Vergangenheit" und kommt mit einer Staatstrauer für die Opfer des Aufstands, einer Amnestie für politische Gefangene, mit Strafverfolgung für den geflohenen Machthaber, Schutz des tunesischen Eigentums (Auslandskonten Ben Alis etc.), der Ankündigung von Kommissionen für demokratische Reformen, Korruptionsaufklärung etc. den Forderungen der Revolutionsbewegung noch weiter entgegen.

Die Partei RCD, der zunächst noch ein Großteil der Minister der Übergangsregierung angehört hatten, wird am 17. Januar 2011 nach sage und schreibe 22 Jahren Vollmitgliedschaft aus der "Sozialistischen Internationale" (des 1914 zerbrochenen und 1951 wiederbelebten Zusammenschlusses sozialdemokratischer und sozialistischer Parteien und Organisationen mit 168 Organisationen weltweit) ausgeschlossen.

In den Tagen darauf folgen Rücktritte aus der Übergangsregierung aus Protest gegen die alte Regierungspartei RCD, vor allem seitens der Gewerkschafter (Mitglieder der UGTT und der Partei FDLT). Oppositionspolitiker wie Moncef Marzouki kehren ebenfalls in diesen Tagen aus dem Exil zurück.

Bemerkenswert ist, daß die Europäische Union Tunesien Hilfe für die sofortige Organisation von Wahlen angeboten hat. Es wird sich darum handeln, nicht nur mit Worten sondern mit Tatkraft die tunesische Revolution in ihrer demokratischen und sozialen Zielsetzung, für die sie im übrigen keinen Souffleur braucht, zu unterstützen. Daß die tunesische Revolution bereits nach Ägypten, Algerien (vgl. Wikipedia: Unruhen in Algerien 2011), Jemen, Jordanien, Kuwait, Mauretanien, Saudi-Arabien, Syrien - d.h. in die gesamte arabische und islamische Welt - ausstrahlt, unterstreicht die Bedeutung einer solchen praktischen Hilfe.



Mit den Ereignissen in den islamisch geprägten Ländern der letzten Wochen läuft eine Entwicklung parallel, die Europa (seine wirtschaftlich stärkeren Länder wie die Bundesrepublik, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Italien) und die sog. "Sozialistische Internationale" ebenfalls und mehr oder weniger direkt betrifft: Zur gleichen Zeit, seit dem 17. Januar 2011, steht die sozialdemokratische "Awoda" (Israelische Arbeitspartei) unmittelbar vor der Spaltung. Der Parteichef der Awoda Ehud Barak - und Verteidigungsminister der Regierung Netanjahu/Liebermann (vgl. den Artikel "Der Gazakrieg 2008/2009 ist eine Krise Europas und Deutschlands" - hat seinen Parteiaustritt und die Gründung einer neuen Partei "Azmaut" (Unabhängigkeit) bekanntgegeben. Unabhängig werden will Barak vor allem von der Partei "Awoda" (der er sein Mandat und seinen Ministerposten verdankt), in der die Kritik über den brachliegenden Friedensprozeß mit den Palästinensern immer lauter wird.

Die Europawahlen 2009 (Wahl vom 4. bis 7. Juni 2009 in den 27 EU-Staaten zum europäischen Parlament) und folgende nationale Wahlen mit der Niederlage erstarrter, deformierter sozialdemokratischer Parteien wie der britischen Labour Party (und mit Erfolgen rechtspopulistischer Bewegungen) in Großbritannien, in den Niederlanden, in Schweden, in Ungarn (Parlamentswahlen vom 11. April 2010) hatten ernüchternde Ergebnisse. Wie steht es mit der erforderlichen Erneuerung der betroffenen Organisationen? Wir werden es weiter beobachten können und beeinflussen. (Vgl. die Parlamentswahlen in der EU seit Juni 2009 mit teilweise großen Besonderheiten wie z.B. in Belgien 2010 - aufgrund des Nationalitäten- und Sprachenkonflikts sind die gesamten Parteien entsprechend gruppiert -, Bulgarien 2009, Griechenland 2009, in der Lettischen Republik 2010, in Portugal 2009, in der Slowakischen Republik 2010 und in der Tschechischen Republik 2010.)

Modern times tourist destinations in Egypt, millennia-old monuments and pyramids: Major attractions and tourist destinations in Egypt include the millennia-old monuments in the Nile Valley. Principal among them are the Pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza, the Abu Simbel temples south of Aswan and the Karnak Temple Complex and Valley of the Kings near Luxor.
20th/21st centuries treatment of ancient mummies linked to commercial tourism industry: Treatment of ancient mummies in modern times, as first - following the spread of Islam, its 'Golden Age' and based on a mistranslation from the Arabic term for bitumen, it was thought that mummies possessed healing properties - it became common practice to grind Egyptian mummies into a powder to be sold and used as medicine. Then - when actual mummies became unavailable - the sun-desiccated corpses of criminals, slaves and suicidal people were substituted by mendacious merchants. The trade in mummies - i.e. deceased humans who wanted to be protected against unwanted observation, visits, sacrileges - seems to have been frowned upon by Turkish authorities who ruled Egypt. Several Egyptians were imprisoned for boiling mummies to make oil in 1424. However, mummies were in high demand in Europe and it was possible to buy them for the right amount of money. During the 19th century, following the discovery of the first tombs and artifacts in Egypt, egyptology was a huge fad in Europe, especially in Victorian England. European aristocrats would occasionally entertain themselves by purchasing mummies, having them unwrapped, and holding observation sessions. The pioneer of this kind of entertainment in Britain was Thomas Pettigrew known as 'Mummy' Pettigrew due to his 'work'. Such unrolling sessions destroyed hundreds of mummies, because the exposure to the air caused them to disintegrate. While mummies were used in medicine, some researchers have brought into question these other uses such as making paper and paint, fueling locomotives and fertilizing land.

4th/3rd century BC Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria: Mid-4th century until mid-3rd century BC Euclid of Alexandria, a Greek mathematician and a founder of geometry. His 'Elements' is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics from the time of its publication until the early 20th century. Euclid deduced the theorems of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. - Euklids überlieferte Werke umfassen sämtliche Bereiche der antiken griechischen Mathematik, die theoretischen Disziplinen Arithmetik und Geometrie, Musiktheorie (z.B. 'Die Teilung des Kanon'), methodische Anleitung zur Findung von planimetrischen Problemlösungen von bestimmten gesicherten Ausgangspunkten aus (Porismen) sowie weitere physikalischen bzw. angewandungsbezogene Werke - Euklids musiktheoretischer Schrift 'Die Teilung des Kanon' greift die Musiktheorie des Archytas auf und stellte sie auf eine solidere akustische Basis, nämlich auf Frequenzen von Schwingungen und verallgemeinerte dabei den Archytas' Ansicht über Quadratwurzeln. Der Grund für diese Verallgemeinerung ist seine Antithese gegen die Harmonik des Aristoxenos, die auf rationalen Vielfachen des Tons aufbaut. Denn in der pythagoreischen Harmonik hat der Ton (Ganzton) die Proportion 9:8, was Euklid zu seiner Antithese 'Der Ton ist weder in zwei noch in mehrere gleiche Teile teilbar' veranlasste. Sie setzt allerdings kommensurable Frequenzen voraus, die in der pythagoreischen Harmonik bis zum Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts - der beginnenden Zeit des 'Wohltemperierten Klaviers' - angenommen wurden. Die Antithese 'Die Oktave ist kleiner als 6 Ganztöne' stützte er auf die Berechnung des pythagoreischen Kommas. Ferner enthält Euklids Teilung des Kanons – wie ihr Titel signalisiert – die älteste überlieferte Darstellung eines Tonsystems am Kanon, einer geteilten Saite, und zwar eine pythagoreische Umdeutung des vollständigen diatonischen Tonsystems des Aristoxenos. Euklids Tonsystem wurde durch Boethius tradiert und wurde in der Tonbuchstaben-Notation Odos zur Grundlage des modernen Tonsystems - Buchstabentonschrift, die älteste bekannte Art der Notenschrift seit der antiken Griechischen Musik, Artikel im Musik-Lexikon von Hugo Riemann

Earlier in July, more than 1,000 people sought medical treatment after dust storms ravaged the country’s water-starved southeast. From Tehran to rural regions, people are posting videos to social media complaining of days on end in the heat without running water, their faucets emitting nothing but murky drops. The water shortages, which experts say are driven in large part by decades of mismanagement, are a long-standing problem. For decades, Iran’s authorities have tried to appease the immediate demands of the agricultural sector - a bedrock of political support - by building tens of dams that divert the natural flow and accumulation of water. The policies have taken a toll. Agriculture is sapping Iran’s surface water, stored in rivers, lakes, wetlands and reservoirs, UN's Kaveh Madani said, but most worrying is the depletion of groundwater reserves, deep below the surface and slow to replenish, which have fallen into 'bankruptcy'. Experts say the damage is irreversible. - 3 July 2023: Within the past 25 years almost 25 million Iranians have been displaced amid water scarcity worries. Scientist Mehdi Zare said water scarcity and the subsidence of the earth have deteriorated in Iran and according to geologists, seven provinces now face dire situations.

Akkad area and distribution of land in the 'Old Babylonian Empire': Location of Akkad city, as many older proposals put Akkad on the Euphrates, but more recent discussions conclude that a location on the Tigris is more likely. Based on an Old Babylonian period itinerary from Mari, Akkad would be on the Tigris just downstream of the current city of Baghdad. Mari documents also indicate that Akkad is sited at a river crossing. On the Land grant to Marduk-apla-iddina I by Meli-Shipak II the recipient is given land in of the city of Agade located around the settlement of Tamakku adjacent to the Nar Sarri (Canal of the King) in Bit-Piri’-Amurru, north of the 'land of Istar-Agade' and east of Kibati canal, by the Kassite ruler Meli-Shipak II ca. 1186–1172 BC - 1894 BC – c. 1595 BC 'Old Babylonian Empire' coming after the end of Sumerian power with the destruction of the Third Dynasty of Ur, and the subsequent Isin-Larsa period - 626 BC - 539 BC 'Neo-Babylonian Empire', the last of the Mesopotamian empires to be ruled by monarchs native to Mesopotamia. Beginning with Nabopolassar's coronation as King of Babylon in 626 BC and being firmly established through the fall of the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 612 BC, the Neo-Babylonian Empire and its ruling Chaldean dynasty were short-lived, conquered after less than a century by the Persian Achaemenid Empire in 539 BC. The defeat of the Assyrians and the transfer of empire to Babylon marked the first time the city, and southern Mesopotamia in general, had risen to dominate the Ancient Near East since the collapse of Hammurabi's Old Babylonian Empire nearly a thousand years earlier.

High Atlas mountain range in central Morocco: High Atlas, a mountain range in central Morocco and the highest part of the Atlas Mountains. The High Atlas rises in the west at the Atlantic Ocean and stretches in an eastern direction to the Moroccan-Algerian border. At the Atlantic and to the southwest the range drops abruptly and makes an impressive transition to the coast and the Anti-Atlas range. The range includes Jbel Toubkal, which at 4,167m is the highest in the range and lies in Toubkal National Park. The range serves as a weather system barrier in Morocco running east–west and separating the Sahara from the Mediterranean and continental zones to the north and west. In the higher elevations of the massif, snow falls regularly, allowing winter sports. Snow lasts well into late spring in the High Atlas, mostly on the northern faces of the range. The High Atlas forms the basins for a multiplicity of river systems. The majority of the year-round rivers flow to the north, providing the basis for the settlements there. A number of wadis and seasonal rivers terminate in the deserts to the south and plateaux to the east of the mountains

High Atlas mountain range in central Morocco: High Atlas, a mountain range in central Morocco and the highest part of the Atlas Mountains. The High Atlas rises in the west at the Atlantic Ocean and stretches in an eastern direction to the Moroccan-Algerian border. At the Atlantic and to the southwest the range drops abruptly and makes an impressive transition to the coast and the Anti-Atlas range. The range includes Jbel Toubkal, which at 4,167m is the highest in the range and lies in Toubkal National Park. The range serves as a weather system barrier in Morocco running east–west and separating the Sahara from the Mediterranean and continental zones to the north and west. In the higher elevations of the massif, snow falls regularly, allowing winter sports. Snow lasts well into late spring in the High Atlas, mostly on the northern faces of the range. The High Atlas forms the basins for a multiplicity of river systems. The majority of the year-round rivers flow to the north, providing the basis for the settlements there. A number of wadis and seasonal rivers terminate in the deserts to the south and plateaux to the east of the mountains

1995 Oslo II Accord divided the West Bank into three administrative divisions A,B, and C: The 1995 Oslo II Accord divided the Israeli-occupied West Bank into three administrative divisions, Areas A, B and C. The distinct areas were given different statuses, according to their governance pending a final status accord. Area A is exclusively administered by the Palestinian National Authority. Area B is administered by both the Palestinian Authority and Israel. Area C, which contains the Israeli settlements, is administered by Israel. Areas A and B were chosen in such a way as to just contain Palestinians, by drawing lines around Palestinian population centers at the time the Agreement was signed, all areas surrounding Areas A and B were defined as Area C. Area A comprises approximately 18% of the total territory of the West Bank and Area B about 22% of the territory, together home to some 2.8 million Palestinians. As of 2015, Area C is home to 150,000 Palestinians in 532 residential areas. It is also home to roughly 400,000 Israelis, in 135 settlements, as well as more than 100 outposts unrecognized by the Israeli government. Area C forms a contiguous territory, administered via the Judea and Samaria Area administration. In contrast, under the Oslo Accords Areas A and B were subdivided into 165 separate units of land that have no territorial contiguity


History and ancient period of Ein-Ganim: History and ancient period of Ein-Ganim - later known ss Jenin - believed to constitute the original settlement core of the city, located at the center of what is today Jenin's business district. Jenin has been identified as the place 'Gina' mentioned in the Amarna letters from the 14th century BCE. At the time, it was a vassal state of the New Kingdom of Egypt. The people of Gina managed to kill the warlord Labaya during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten, as later - according to the Hebrew Bible - Ein-Ganim is referred to as a Levite city belonging to the Israelite Tribe of Issachar. The Book of Judith renders its name as 'Gini'. as Roman-Jewish historian Josephus in the 1st-century CE - in the period of Roman empire's destruction of Israel, including the first genocide of Jews - mentions 'Ginea' as being in the northern border of Samaria.
11 April 2022 Palestinians shot dead and wounded in Jenin, al-Khader, Husan, Israelis injured in Nablus: 11 April 2022: Palestinians shot and injured Monday night two Israelis who went through an unmanned checkpoint in the West Bank city of Nablus, as the Israelis were on their way to Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, a flash point and holy site for Jews that was set ablaze last week by Palestinian rioters, as Palestinian Muhammad Zakarna who was shot by Israeli forces in Jenin on Sunday succumbed to his wounds a day later. The man was wounded during a raid intended to arrest two brothers of the terrorist who carried out a terror attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday, leaving three Israelis dead, as 17-year-old Muhammad Zakarna was now shot and wounded after opening fire on soldiers, according to the Israeli army. Disputing the army's account, his family and friends said that Zakarna was at work when he was hit by an expanding bullet. The 17-year-old worked selling hot drinks in Jenin's industrial zone, though he had nothing to sell that day due to the lockdown on the city. Also on Sunday, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man who was throwing Molotov cocktails at an Israeli vehicle near the town of al-Khader in the West Bank. This follows the fatal shooting of a Palestinian woman in Hebron, after she had stabbed an Israeli Border Police office. The officer was lightly wounded in the attack.

If we indeed killed her, we'll take responsibility, but it doesn't seem to be the case'.
Nablus city: Nablus city - Greek neápolis - in the West Bank approximately 49km north of Jerusalem, with a population of 126,132 citizens in the 21st century. Located between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, it is the capital of the Nablus Governorate and a commercial and cultural centre, home to An-Najah National University, one of the largest Palestinian institutions of higher learning, and the Palestine Stock Exchange and under the administration of the Palestinian National Authority as part of Area A of the West Bank. The city traces its modern name back to the Roman period, when it was named Flavia Neapolis by Roman emperor Vespasian in 72 CE. During the Byzantine period, conflict between the city's Samaritan and newer Christian inhabitants peaked in the Samaritan revolts that were eventually suppressed by the Byzantines by 573, which greatly dwindled the Samaritan population of the city. Following the Arab-Muslim conquest of the Levant in the 7th century, the city was given its present-day Arabic name of Nablus. After the First Crusade, the Crusaders drafted the laws of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the Council of Nablus, and its Christian, Samaritan, and Muslim inhabitants prospered. The city then came under the control of the Ayyubids and the Mamluk Sultanate. Under the Ottoman Turks, who conquered the city in 1517, Nablus served as the administrative and commercial centre for the surrounding area corresponding to the modern-day northern West Bank. After the city was captured by British forces during Central Powers' - including the Ottoman empire - 1914-1918 World War I, Nablus was incorporated into the British Mandate of Palestine in 1922. The 1948 Arab–Israeli War saw the entire West Bank, including Nablus, occupied and annexed by Transjordan. Since the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, the West Bank has been occupied by Israel, and since 1995, it has been governed by the PNA as part of Area

The city stands at an elevation of around 550 meters above sea level in a narrow valley running roughly east–west between two mountains, the northern mountain Mount Ebal and the southern mountain Mount Gerizim. Nablus is located 42km east of Tel Aviv, 110km west of Amman in Jordan and 63km north of Jerusalem. Nearby cities and towns include Huwara and Aqraba to the south, Beit Furik to the southeast, Tammun to the northeast, Asira ash-Shamaliya to the north and Kafr Qaddum and Tell to the west.

East Jerusalem: East Jerusalem, the sector of Jerusalem that was occupied by Jordan during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, following Axis powers' World War II and the Holocaust, as opposed to the western sector of the city, West Jerusalem, which was occupied by Israel. Since the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, East Jerusalem has been considered to be occupied by Israel by the international community. East Jerusalem, in the early 21st century recognized as part of Palestine by 138 (out of 193) member countries of the UN, including Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Russia, Sweden, and 57 members countries of the 'Organisation of Islamic Cooperation'. In 2016, the population of East Jerusalem was 542,400, comprising 61% of Jerusalem's population. Of these, 327,700 (60.4%) were Arabs and 214,600 (39.6%) were Jews.
Bethlehem city, since 1350–1330 BCE documented and therefore proven, not fantasized history: Bethlehem city in the central West Bank, about 10 km south of Jerusalem and the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. Its population is approximately 25,000 citizens in the 21st century as its economy is primarily tourist-driven. The important holy site of Rachel's Tomb is at the northern entrance of Bethlehem. The earliest known mention of Bethlehem was in the Amarna correspondence of 1350–1330 BCE when the town was inhabited by the Canaanites. The Hebrew Bible, which says that the city of Bethlehem was built up as a fortified city by Rehoboam, identifies it as the city David was from and where he was anointed as the king of Israel. Bethlehem was destroyed by the Emperor Hadrian during the second-century Bar Kokhba revolt. Bethlehem became part of 'Jund Filastin' following the Muslim conquest in 637 after the decline and dissolution of the Roman empire. Muslim rule continued in Bethlehem until its conquest in 1099 by a crusading army, who replaced the town's Greek Orthodox clergy with a Latin one. In the mid-13th century, the Mamluks demolished the city's walls, which were subsequently rebuilt under the Ottoman empire in the early 16th century. Control of Bethlehem passed from the Ottomans to the British at the end of German empire's and Central Powers World War I, followed by Axis Powers World War II and the Holocaust. Bethlehem came under Jordanian rule during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and was later captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, but since the 1995 Oslo Accords, Bethlehem has been administered by the Palestinian Authority.
1st century Matthew's massacre of children in Bethlehem allegation: In Matthäus’ Geschichte vom Kindermord in Bethlehem im 1. Jahrhundert wird entgegen aller Tatsachen behauptet, dass Jesus in Bethlehem geboren wurde. Dies ist Phantasie. Die wissenschaftliche Forschung sieht den tatsächlichen Geburtsort Jesu mehrheitlich in Nazareth, weil sich die Bethlehem-Geburtsgeschichten bei Matthäus und Lukas nicht in Einklang bringen lassen und auch der von Lukas (2,2 EU) behauptete reichsweite Zensus fragwürdig ist. Die erste nachweisbare Provinzzählung unter Publius Sulpicius Quirinius in der Provinz Judäa fand erst im Jahr 6 n. Chr. statt, also ein Jahrzehnt nach dem Tod des Herodes. Zu dessen Lebzeiten war Judäa noch nicht Teil der römischen Provinzialordnung. Bethlehem sei vermutlich erst aufgrund nachösterlicher Reflexion als angeblicher Geburtsort Jesu ins Spiel gekommen, da im Alten Testament geweissagt war, dass der Messias bzw. künftige Herrscher aus Bethlehem, der Stadt Davids, kommen sollte.

History and timeline of Gaza: History of Gaza settlement and city, as known history of Gaza spans 4,000 years. Gaza was ruled, destroyed and repopulated by various dynasties, empires, and peoples. Originally a Canaanite settlement, it came under the control of the ancient Egyptians for roughly 350 years before being conquered and becoming one of the Philistines' principal cities. Gaza became part of the Assyrian Empire around 730 BCE. Alexander the Great besieged and captured the city in 332 BCE. Most of the inhabitants were killed during the assault, and the city, which became a center for Hellenistic learning and philosophy, was resettled by nearby Bedouins. The area changed hands regularly between two Greek successor-kingdoms, the Seleucids of Syria and the Ptolemies of Egypt, until it was besieged and taken by the Hasmoneans in 96 BCE, then rebuilt under the rule of Roman general Pompey, and granted to Herod the Great thirty years later. Throughout the Roman period, Gaza maintained its prosperity, receiving grants from several different emperors. A 500-member senate governed the city, which had a diverse population of Greeks, Romans, Jews, Egyptians, Persians and Nabateans.

Classical antiquity history of Gaza: Classical antiquity history of Gaza, as in 634, Gaza was besieged by the Rashidun army under general 'Amr ibn al-'As, with assistance from Khalid ibn al-Walid, following the Battle of Ajnadayn between the Byzantine Empire and the Rashidun Caliphate in central Palestine. The Muslims' victory at Ajnadayn gave them control over much of Palestine's countryside, but not the major cities with garrisons such as Gaza. With Umar succeeding Abu Bakr as caliph, the Rashidun forces began to make stronger efforts at conquering Byzantine territory. During the three-year siege of Gaza, the city's Jewish community fought alongside the Byzantine garrison. In the summer of 637, Amr's forces broke the siege and captured Gaza, killing its Byzantine garrison. - July-August 634 Battle of Ajnadayn in a location close to Beit Guvrin in present-day Israel, the first major pitched battle between the Byzantine (Roman) Empire and the army of the Arab Rashidun Caliphate
Since 1516 Gaza incorporated into the still expanding Ottoman Empire until November 1917: In 1516, Gaza - by now a small town with an inactive port, ruined buildings and reduced trade - was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman army quickly and efficiently crushed a small-scale uprising. Shortly after Palestine's quick submission to the Ottomans, it was divided into six districts, including the Gaza Sanjak (District of Gaza) which stretched from Jaffa in the north to Bayt Jibrin in the east and Rafah in the south. The sanjak was a part of the larger Damascus Eyalet or the 'Province of Damascus'. In the early 20th century Gaza was economically and politically dominated by a number of powerful clans, particularly the Shawa, Husseini, and Sourani families. When Central Powers' (including the Ottoman empire's) 1914-1918 World War I involved the the so-called 'Middle East', in March 1917 British forces were defeated by the Ottomans in the first and in April 1917 second Battle of Gaza. - In November 1917 UK's general Edmund Allenby (supported by Canada, Australia and New Zealand), leading the Allied Forces, defeated the Ottoman Empire supported by the German Empire and finally conquered Gaza in a third battle
1948-1967 occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt: At the conclusion of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Egypt was in control of Gaza and the surrounding area, that came to be called the Gaza Strip. Gaza's growing population was augmented by an influx of refugees fleeing nearby cities, towns and villages that were captured by Israel. From 1948 until 1959, Gaza was nominally under the jurisdiction of the All-Palestine Government, an entity established by the 'Arab League' during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, purportedly as the government for a 'liberated Palestine'. However, the government was ineffective with little or no influence over events in Gaza and was dissolved by Cairo in 1959. Egyptian occupation of the Gaza Strip was broken for four months during the 1956 Suez Crisis. Gaza officially became a part of the 'United Arab Republic', a union of Syria and Egypt, under the pan-Arab policy of Nasser. In reality, however, Gaza was under direct Egyptian military governorship, which also continued upon the withdrawal of Syria from the UAR shortly afterwards. When the 'Palestinian Liberation Organization' PLO was founded in 1964, Nasser formally, but not practically, proclaimed that it would hold authority over Gaza, and a year later, conscription was instituted for the 'Palestinian Liberation Army' - 1948-1967 occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt.

2010-2021 temperatures reaching more than 50 °C in northern hemisphere's summer, Qatar a 'high risk': Climate and weather in Qatar remain a concern with temperatures reaching more than 50 °C in northern hemisphere's summer. Doctors from Qatar's Aspetar sports hospital in Doha said the climate would be an issue, stating that the region's climate would 'affect performance levels from a health point of view' of professional athletes, specifically footballers, that 'recovery times between games would be longer' than in a temperate climate and that, on the field of play, 'more mistakes would be made'. Additionally, one of the doctors said that 'total acclimation (to the Qatari climate) is impossible'. The inspection team for evaluating who would host the tournament said that Qatar was 'high risk' due to the weather.

4 October 2022 French cities ditch World Cup festivities to protest Qatar’s record on human rights, environment: 4 October 2022: French cities ditch World Cup festivities to protest Qatar’s record on human rights, environment, directly aimed at Gulf state host Qatar and the steep human and environmental costs of the event that activists say Doha is doing everything to hide. According to Amnesty international, migrant workers account for more than half of Qatar’s population of 3 million and 90% of its total work force. Many of them, from impoverished South Asian nations like India, Nepal and the Philippines, arrived to work on the $220 billion World Cup infrastructure project. Despite Qatar being the fourth-richest country in the world, a migrant worker typically earns €1.30 per hour while working long hours and an average of six days a week. Although Qatar has now had five years to phase out the infamous kafala system, it is still very much in practice. In addition to that, European non-profit Carbon Market Watch CMW dismissed Qatar’s zero-carbon footprint claims, saying 'claims that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will not contribute additional carbon emissions to the atmosphere are completely unrealistic. The data already available today show that, contrary to predictions, the Qatari tournament’s climate impact will be unambiguously negative'.

8 December 2022 western banks funding Qatar’s carbon bombs: 8 December 2022: Qatar’s longest lasting legacy following the 2022 World Cup won’t be football or even its human rights record - it will be the climate crisis, according to a new report warning that its huge expansion of gas extraction could push the planet into catastrophic global heating. Should Qatar exploit all of its oil and gas reserves it will eventually add an enormous 50bn metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere once burned, which is more than the entire annual emissions of the whole world, the new research, shared with the Guardian, has found - 8 December 2022: World Cup host Qatar's oil and gas fields are projected to add an additional 50 gigatons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, smashing the UN 1.5°C warming limit and causing over US$ 20 trillion of damage and 11 million deaths. Qatar is already one of the biggest exporters of fossil gas, a main driver of the climate emergency, and together with foreign companies, it plans to increase extraction and fossil gas liquefaction in the coming years, 'BankTrack' reports

2017 'Demography, Migration, and the Labour Market in Qatar': 2017 'Demography, Migration, and the Labour Market in Qatar' by Francoise de Bel-Air, published in GLMM - EN - No. 3/2017, saying 'in 2016, Qatar ranked first worldwide in terms of per capita GDP', due to its huge hy-drocarbon reserves and to the small size of its resident population (2.5 million in June 2017). Exploiting the hydrocarbon resources and channelling them into ambitious development policies required massive imports of foreign labour. The country’s total population has grown seven-fold since the mid-1980s, moreover, foreign nationals made up an estimated 91% of all residents (aged 15 and above) and up to 95% of all employed population in 2015. The awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar in 2010 turned the spotlight on the country’s dilemma regarding the 'number vs. rights trade-off' issue: Qatar has one of the most constraining kafala systems in the region, which underwent only minor changes in a reform enacted in December 2016. Paradoxically, demographic data also indicate that a growing share of foreigners live with their families and give birth in the country. Among these may be Syrian nationals who have come to the country since 2011, the beginning of Assad's war against the Syrian people. As of 2017, foreign population growth rates have started decelerating, as past infrastructural projects achieved completion, new migration policies that privilege skills over number are initiated, and political uncertainty looms. As in 2015/2016 non-nationals numbered 87,3% of Qatar's population, the countries of origin included India (6,50,000 citizens), Nepal (3,50,000 citizens), Bangladesh (80,000 citizens), Philippines (2,60,000 citizens), Egypt (2,00,000 citizens), Sri Lanka (1,45,256 citizens), Pakistan (1,25,000 citizens), Syria (54,000 citizens), Sudan (50,000 citizens), Indonesia (43,000 citizens), Jordan (40,000 citizens), Iran (30,000 citizens), Lebanon (24,000 citizens), Ethiopia (22,000 citizens), Tunisia (20,000 citizens), Palestine (20,000 citizens), Kenya (14,000 citizens), Eritrea (10,000 citizens). Indians, Nepalese, Filipinos, and Bangladeshis alone made up about 78% of the foreign labourers in September 2013. In 2020 registered live births by nationality in Doha numbered 19,386 including 4,005 Qatari and 15,381 Non-Qatari, 'Wikipedia' says.

You work all day out in the open in extreme heat. You start at 04:00 and work all day. There is no cold drinking water on the site, just hot water.

They have filthy sanitation, and the food is dished out like in the Oliver Twist movie'. SESRI comments, that the Dawlat Qatar (Emirate) 'may make implement policies towards improving guest workers’ living and working conditions, but without valid indicators, Qatar would be unable to demonstrate results.

Since April 2012 Qatari involvement in the Syrian Civil War Since April 2012 Qatari involvement in the Syrian Civil War, beginning with deliveries of arms to rebels in Syria from Qatar. In 2013, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute SIPRI estimated that Qatar had fueled the war by delivering more weapons to Syria than any other country. In total, there were over 15 weapons cargo flights into Turkey. USA historian Gareth Porter - an anti-war activist during the Vietnam War who has written about the potential for peaceful conflict resolution in Southeast Asia and the Middle East - wrote in 2015 that Qatar has provided support to rebel groups across the spectrum, not only funding more moderate rebels but also a coalition known as the Army of Conquest, which initially contained al-Qaeda linked groups - 2018/2019 In response to Porter's statements questioning the use of chemical weapons in Syria by the al-Assad regime, the British organization 'Bellingcat' stated that Porter 'relies heavily on ignoring the tests by the OPCW that detected Sarin in samples' and that 'Porter relies on the usual chemical weapon truther claims that these results were from samples being tampered with in someway, without presenting any actual evidence it took place'

Merchants from as far afield as Indonesia and Malaysia passed through Opone, trading spices, silks and other goods, before departing south for Azania or north to Yemen or Egypt on the trade routes that spanned the length of the Indian Ocean's rim.

The ancient port city of Malao, situated in present-day Berbera in north central Somaliland, is also mentioned in the Periplus.

Libyen - Demokratie oder Gaddafi-Diktatur?

(Aktualisierung vom 17. März 2011)



Libyen vor genau einem Monat: Day of Revolt (Tag des Aufstandes), s. Wikipedia-"Timeline" 17. Februar 2011.

Zu Beginn des Aufstandes in Libyen gegen die Despotie Gaddafis im Februar 2011 wurde in den internationalen Medien und der Politik der Mut der libyschen Demokratiebewegung hervorgehoben. Die Entmachtung Gaddafis (dem lange weltweit der Hof gemacht wurde, nicht nur in Caracas sondern auch in europäischen Hauptstädten wie Berlin, Moskau, Paris und Rom ... und London? Und die ... USA?) und seiner Gefolgsleute in Libyen (Nachbarland Tunesiens und Ägyptens) schien in greifbare Nähe zu rücken.

Mehr als 40 Jahre lang hatte die Welt erfahren können, daß und wie ein libyscher Diktator vor allem auf das Militär und den Ölreichtum des Landes gestützt vor nichts zurückschreckt, und wie weltweit Regierungen vor dem sich selbst so nennenden Revolutions-Führer (gekennzeichnet durch Terror, Mord, Folter, Bomben, Panzer, Luftwaffe und weltweit gestreute Privat-Milliarden) auf den Knien rutschen. 2011 kämpfen die Gaddafis und ihre Gefolgsleute mit Waffen, die weltweit mit Ölmilliarden in Ländern eingekauft wurden, die den Revolutions-Führer bei passender Gelegenheit längst vor ein Strafgericht (Anschläge "La Belle", "Lockerbie", Ermordung Yvonne Fletchers) hätten stellen müssen.

Was ist Mitte März 2011 - nach einmonatigem ungleichen Kampf mit auf Privatautos montierten Schußwaffen gegen Panzer, Luftwaffe, moderne Artillerie, Söldner und Skupellosigkeit - aus mancher Bewunderung für die Demokratie geworden? Ein spannender Film mit hohem Unterhaltungswert und oscarverdächtigen exotischen Darstellern? Charme des Verbrechens?



Verfahren vor dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof (ICC) in Den Haag. Zitat aus Wikipedia, International Criminal Court (Libya, 26. Februar 2011):

"As a consequence of the 2011 Libyan uprising and its brutal suppression, the UN Security Council voted on 26 February 2011 in Resolution 1970 unanimously to refer the situation in Libya to the ICC.[162] Other than the referral of the situation in Darfur, Sudan, to the ICC in March 2005, this is only the second time that the Security Council has referred a situation to the ICC, and the first time that it has done so unanimously. China and the United States had abstained in 2005, but this time voted in favor of referral to the ICC."

Zitat aus Wikipedia, Timeline of the 2011 Libyan uprising, March 3 2011:

"The International Criminal Court announced it would begin to launch an investigation into war- crimes committed by Gaddafi, his sons, and his inner circle. Opposition forces will also be investigated as well to assure no crimes are being committed on its side."



Forderung nach einer Flugverbotszone, um Libyen wenigstens vor Bombardierungen auch der Zivilbevölkerung durch Gaddafi zu bewahren. Zitat aus Wikipedia, Timeline of the 2011 Libyan uprising, March 7 2011:

"Britain and France will attempt to get a no fly zone established through the UN security council, after previously backing down from the idea. The gulf states in the middle east have officially called for a no fly zone to be placed, and an Arab League emergency meeting will discuss the implication of one backed by their own organization. Hundreds of Gadaffi's soldiers entered Zawiya with tanks. According to local witnesses they used the tanks to fire at houses and many homes have been destroyed. The death toll is a minimum of 8 with dozens of civilians casualties expected to be found. Rebels still control Zawiya however, but are fighting the fiercest battle yet according to witnesses. Some witnesses go on to say "the whole town is in ruins". By the morning of March 7, the BBC reported that the town of Bin Jawad was under the control of government forces and they were advancing on Ra's Lanuf. While rebels in Ras Lanuf managed to successfully fend off attacking infantry forces, fighter jets continued to launch air-strikes in Ras Lanuf, causing several casualties." (Zitatende)

Genau in diesen Märztagen 2011 geben sich die Fernsehanstalten von France 24 (englisch und französisch) in Paris jede Mühe, Gaddafi wieder salonfähig zu machen. Stolz auf ihr "Exclusivinterview" verschaffen sie dem Verbrecher einen großen Auftritt auf internationaler Bühne und tragen zum Gelingen der Gegenoffensive gegen die Demokratiebewegung bei.

Zitat aus dem Eigenbericht von France 24 vom 7. März 2011 über das "Exklusivinterview", aus dem in den folgenden Tagen auch von anderen Fernsehanstalten beständig Ausschnitte gesendet werden:

"Al Qaeda is responsible for the violent uprising in Libya, but Western media has overstated the extent of the political crisis and its casualties, leader Muammar Gaddafi told FRANCE 24's Khalil Beshir in an exclusive interview on Sunday." Etc. etc.



Der Antrag auf die Einrichtung einer Flugverbotszone (britisch/französischer Resolutionsentwurf vom 16. März, immerhin) liegt dem Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen am 17. März 2011 zur Entscheidung vor. Von der Entscheidung wird abhängen, ob die Demokratiebewegung 2011 in Libyen zu Grabe getragen wird.



Aktualisierung vom 18. März 2011

"The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has voted on a resolution authorising a no-fly zone over Libya and "all necessary measures" - code for military action - to protect citizens.

Ten of the council's 15 members voted in favour of the resolution, with Russia, China and Germany the five that abstained. No votes were recorded against the resolution, which was co-sponsored by France, Britain, Lebanon and the United States.

The resolution fulfills a long-standing demand from pro-democracy opposition forces in Libya asking for a no-fly zone to be established in order to prevent Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, from using fighter jets to bombard their positions, as they have been doing.

It comes just a few hours after Gaddafi warned residents of Benghazi, an opposition stronghold, that his forces would show "no mercy" in an impending assault on the city."



In the language of the 'wonderful country' (on 29 August 2011, remember, remember): Am 17. März 2011 hat der UN-Sicherheitsrat mit seiner Resolution Nr. 1973 die Einrichtung einer Flugverbotszone über Libyen beschlossen: Zehn Stimmen dafür, keine Stimme dagegen und fünf Enthaltungen. Deutschland hat sich enthalten. Die weiteren Enthaltungen stammen von Russland, China, Indien und Brasilien. Die Resolution fordert an erster Stelle einen sofortigen Waffenstillstand und ein vollständiges Ende der Gewaltanwendungen und aller Angriffe gegen Zivilisten. Als zweites spricht sie sich für eine Intensivierung der Anstrengungen eine Lösung zu finden aus, die „den legitimen Forderungen des libyschen Volkes Rechnung trägt". Damit wurde durch diese UN-Resolution 1973 ein Militärschlag, jedoch unter Beachtung des allgemeinen Waffenembargos und ohne Einsatz von Besatzungstruppen, legitimiert. Am Nachmittag des 19. März 2011 begann die Operation, die zunächst die Stadt Bengasi vor einem Blutbad bewahrte und die seit April ganz unter dem Kommando der Nato fortgeführt wird.

Die Stimmenthaltung bei der entscheidenden Abstimmung des UN-Sicherheitsrates wurde nachträglich von der Bundesregierung (Kanzlerin und Vizekanzler/Außenminister Westerwelle) als Unterstützung der Ziele der Resolution umgedeutet. Andererseits wurde weiterhin selbst für die Durchsetzung eines Waffenembargos gegen das Gaddafi-Regime - bei welcher militärische Maßnahmen wie Schiffskontrollen etc. unvermeidlich sind - eine Beteiligung verweigert.

Der Berliner Groteske und der faktischen Unterstützung Gaddafis bei der Abstimmung - trotz markiger gegenteiliger Erklärungen später - liegt auch der folgende Sachverhalt zugrunde. Bei einer militärischen Beteiligung des Nato-Mitglieds Bundesrepublik ist unvermeidlich die Frage aufgeworfen, woher die Soldaten kommen, welchen Zielen sie verpflichtet sind. Bundesdeutsche Soldaten im Jahre 2011 kommen aus einem Land, in welchem die nachwachsenden Generationen seit 50 Jahren in Generalfeldmarschall-Rommel-Kasernen ausgebildet und stationiert werden. "Am 20. Juli 1961 erhielt die Truppenunterkunft den Namen Generalfeldmarschall-Rommel-Kaserne zu Ehren von Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel." (zitiert nach: Wikipedia, Rommel-Kaserne in Augustdorf bei Detmold) Übrigens stellen noch 2011 deutsche Landminen in Nordafrika und besonders in Libyen als Opfer der sog. Achsenmächte eine Bedrohung für die Menschen dar.

Schon im 1. Weltkrieg war der spätere Hitlergeneral Rommel bei militärischen Angriffen beteiligt, die Kriegsverbrechen und Giftgaseinsatz einschlossen. Ordensverleihung für Rommel 1917: Battles of the Isonzo 1915-1917 in World War I - The use of poison gas by the Germans played a key role in the collapse of the Italian Second Army in the Battle of Caporetto 1917, Erwin Rommel (later Hitler's favorite general) won the 'Pour le Mérite' for his role in the battle

Generalfeldmarschall-Rommel-Zöglinge im Jahre 2011 u.a. in Nordafrika (s. das Afrikakorps z.B. mit Maximilian von Herff, vgl. Wikipedia-Artikel zu Herff) gemeinsam mit britischen, französischen, italienischen Soldaten, um Massaker an der libyschen Bevölkerung zu verhindern? Am 23. September 1943 gab Rommel die Weisung: "Irgendwelche sentimentalen Hemmungen des deutschen Soldaten gegenüber badogliohörigen Banden in der Uniform des ehemaligen Waffenkameraden sind völlig unangebracht. Wer von diesen gegen den deutschen Soldaten kämpft, hat jedes Anrecht auf Schonung verloren und ist mit der Härte zu behandeln, die dem Gesindel gebührt, das plötzlich seine Waffen gegen seinen Freund wendet. Diese Auffassung muss beschleunigt Allgemeingut aller deutschen Truppen werden." Zitiert nach: Wikipedia, Erwin Rommel. Bei den Kriegsverbrechen und Massakern von Marzabotto und Sant'Anna di Stazzema wurde die Weisung Rommels umgesetzt: Marzabotto massacre und Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre. Vgl. NZZ vom 7. Juli 2011: Neun ehemalige Wehrmachtssoldaten wegen Massaker in Italien 1944 im Juli 2011 in Verona zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt. Die Bundesrepublik kooperiert nicht mit der italienischen Justiz, liefert die Verbrecher nicht aus und der Kriegsverbrecher Rommel wurde und wird staatlicherseits geehrt bis ins neue Jahrhundert, in dem junge Nazimörder ungehindert durch Strafverfolgungsbehörden über Jahre hinweg rassistische Morde verüben können. Die Bundesrepublik ist kein Rechtsstaat.

Jahrzehnte nach nie dagewesenen Verbrechen werden im Lande der Menschenvergaser Hitler-Generäle (kurz nach begonnener Wiederaufrüstung), Führungspersonal, Ausführende und Parteigänger des Wahnsinns des Völker- und millionenfachen Massenmords an Juden, Sinti, Roma, Polen, Russen etc. geehrt, zum Vorbild gekürt und wegen ihres langen Lebens bis in jüngere Zeit und zahlreich in höchste Staatsämter eines Parteienstaates gehievt. Der sogenannte 'freie Westen' der Kolonial- und Hegemonialmächte (insbesondere die USA nebst ihrem Bündnis mit Franco-Spanien) ist behilflich, deckt Täter und geht bei Hitlers Geheimdiensten in die Lehre.

Sollte diese Traditionspflege von denen in Frage gestellt werden, die alljährlich in das musikalische Jerusalem des Antisemiten Richard Wagner, das Bayreuther Festspielhaus pilgern? Die ganze Verlogenheit und fortgesetzte Gewissenlosigkeit des "wunderbaren Landes" wäre thematisiert, auf internationaler Ebene.

Am Wahlsonntag des 27. März 2011 hat die Dämmerung begonnen. Durch hellwache Menschen, welche durch die Abgewählten sogleich darüber belehrt werden sollten, daß Fukushima die Landespolitik überlagert habe. Pardon: Fukushima hat auch und gerade für die Landespolitik die Augen geöffnet.

Zu Rommel- und Gaddafi-Freunden, denen als Sprecher und Vertreter des "wunderbaren Landes" mit ihrer ganzen Unverschämtheit immer noch kein Korb gegeben werden konnte, vgl. auch die Neue Zürcher Zeitung vom 19. Juni 2011: Kämpfe um westliche Grenzstadt Nalut ... und Maizières "Kurzsichtigkeit"

Zur Geschichte des deutschen Militarismus vgl. II wojna swiatowa, World War II, Seconde Guerre mondiale, Verbrechen der Wehrmacht - Dimensionen des Vernichtungskrieges 1941-1944, Oberkommando des Heeres OKH, in diesem OKH der Hitler-/Adenauer-General und zeitweilige Chef des Generalstabs des Heeres Adolf Heusinger, der Generalstabsoffizier des OKH Ulrich de Maizière (Vater des oben genannten Verteidigungsministers Maizière), die Hitler-Generäle Heinz Guderian, Franz Halder, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel, Hans Krebs und Kurt Zeitzler. Der Hitler- und Adenauer-General und Chef der Operationsabteilung des Generalstabes im Oberkommando des Heeres Adolf Heusinger wird aktuell mit einem General Heusinger Preis der Führungsakademie der Bundeswehr und einer ebenfalls nach ihm benannten General-Heusinger-Kaserne (General Heusinger Kaserne auf der Website "Kasernennamen der Bundeswehr") in Hammelburg geehrt.

Wenige Tage nach Maizières Belehrung der Nato - der Libyeneinsatz, d.h. die Rettungsaktion und Hilfe für die libysche Zivilbevölkerung und die Gaddafi-Gegner sei "kurzsichtig", s. den zitierten Artikel der NZZ vom 19. Juni 2011 über die Kämpfe um westliche Grenzstadt Nalut ... und Maizières "Kurzsichtigkeit" - stellt sich die militärische Lage für die Gaddafi-Gegner günstiger dar. Maizières nun eilig folgendes Angebot von Ausrüstunghilfe für den "kurzsichtigen" Natoeinsatz findet keine Annahme: NZZ 29. Juni: Gaddafi-Gegner erobern Waffenlager - außerdem 40 Tonnen Kriegsmaterial aus Frankreich geliefert - keine deutschen Bauteile für Nato-Einsatz, Lieferung durch andere

Aber Leopard Panzer für Kopf-ab-Saudi-Arabien: Saudi troops quietly pull out of Bahrain after crackdown on anti-government protests - 200 German tanks 'Leopard' to Saudi-Arabia - Saudi sources confirm German tanks deal - 44 tanks already bought

Nach Bekanntwerden des Skandals - modernste deutsche Kampfpanzer für ein Unterdrücker-Regime - verweigert die "christlich-demokratisch" geführte Bundesregierung gegenüber der eigenen Bevölkerung und der Welt, die in zwei Weltkriegen deutsche Waffen kennenlernen mußte, jede Auskunft: Bundesregierung schweigt zu Panzergeschäft. Neue Zürcher Zeitung vom 6. Juli 2011, vgl.: German parliament to debate sale of 200 tanks to Saudis. In der erwähnten Parlamentsdebatte am 6. Juli fehlen Kanzlerin, Außen-, Verteidigungs- und Wirtschaftsminister. Sie demonstrieren Verachtung gegenüber dem Parlament, der eigenen Bevölkerung und vor allem der Demokratiebewegung in islamischen und arabischen Ländern. "Wir können auch schießen." und 31 August 2011: Wir können auch schießen lassen.
