A dangerous resolution of the US House of Representatives claims that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.
How can anti-Zionism be the same as anti-Semitism?!
The resolution itself does not define either Zionism or anti-Zionism, so it is not clear which specific actions will be subsumed under the term anti-Zionism, nor does it specify what further action will be taken when such a thing is determined.
However, critics of the resolution believe that it essentially equates criticism of the Israeli government's policies with antisemitism.

Dr. Gilbert on Gaza: It's a massive attack on what people always feel as last sanctuary - hospitals.
Dr. Mads Gilbert (@DrMadsGilbert): It's a massive attack on what people always feel as last sanctuary. And that is to come to hospital. Where you're cared for. I call it the temple of compassion and humanity in any society, because, that's where you go and you feel protected, you know, because of international law and human decency. You don't attack a hospital, you don't carry a gun there, you don't bomb it.
Excerpt from the conversation. Dr. Mads Gilbert, Norwegian physician, Professor emeritus at the University Hospital of North Norway, long time volunteer for Palestinian healthcare and Mary Nazzal, Jordanian activist.

Everyday Reality for Palestinians - Checkpoints.
Every morning, before dawn, tens of thousands of Palestinian workers pass Israeli army checkpoints on their way to their workplaces in Israeli and Palestinian towns across the Green Line.
Between four and six in the morning, thousands of people gather in front of checkpoints in spaces that look like cages. Many arrive more than an hour before the point opens, at three in the morning or earlier, in order to take a place in line and get to work on time.
The crossings are overcrowded and insufficiently sanitary equipped whereas the crossing conditions are humiliating. Some Palestinian workers died due to being confined in an extremely narrow space.
Due to the limited validity of Israeli permits, they must return home during the day. In order to avoid the harsh conditions at the checkpoints, some decide to take a risk and spend the night at their workplaces.

Czech president does not understand Russians & says that Russians in the West should be "monitored".
In addition to promoting the thesis of collective responsibility of all Russians for the war, calling an entire nation barbarians and calls for spying on their members when they live in Western countries, it is very interesting that Czech president and former chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Petr Pavel, openly admits that the West does not understand how Russians think and what are the reasons behind their actions.
Russian officials have been talking for years about the reasons for their concern about the situation in Ukraine. Furthermore, no doubt that there is an extensive intelligence material, as well as numerous warnings by the experts from the very West about what will happen if the same policy towards Ukraine is continued.
However, this is not enough. According to the words of the Czech president, in order to understand the causes of escalation of the war in Ukraine, the West needs some additional explanation, preferably from somebody who opposes the current regime in Russia.

DSA, "Disinformation" and Online Platforms. A Big Step Towards Censorship in EU. Part Two.
European Commission study on application of the Risk Management Framework to "Russian disinformation campaigns", August 2023
https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/c1d645d0-42f5-11ee-a8b8-01aa75ed71a1/language-de
The study says its goal is to evaluate how the DSA’s rules can be used to guard against "the Kremlin’s disinformation campaigns" and protect the dignity, safety and free expression of EU citizens.
Despite the detailed methodology, this study suffers from problems that make it unlikely to have any objective research value, but rather can be viewed as a political pamphlet with pre-formulated conclusions, suitable for use only in the political space, by political actors and for political purposes.
