Yes, opposing the establishment of a new state with a new population where someone else already lived would have been appropriate in the late 1940s.
Unfortunately it’s 2024 now, Israel does exist and time is linear.
So the only thing that can be done now is to recognize neither Israel nor Palestine should be erased.
(Though pointing out that the latter doesn’t seem to get mentioned here would be appropriate.)
Fractional-reserve banking
That has already become outdated, at least according to some economists.
Banks can just create loans out of thin air without having to check their own reserves first.

and the houses will not go on the market
I understand the other arguments but I’m confused about this one.
If houses that were used to house tourists are no longer allowed to do so, why would they not become available for either rent or sale?
What else is there for the owners to do with them?
Not to weigh in on one side or the other but the Nazis claimed a lot of things.
That they were socialists, that Poland had attacked Germany…
I wouldn’t rely on what they said.
Barcelona still has plenty of regular commercial Hotels that are purpose built to house many tourists.
somehow an even bigger clusterfuck
I agree that rejoining won’t magically solve all problems but I don’t see how it would make things worse.
austerity measure after austerity measure and somehow made our budgetal deficit worse
Not surprising.
Reducing government spending means reducing the money that is in economic circulation.
Companies earn less, people earn less and ultimately taxes go down.
Ah, I see.
So the water is not too warm for cooling, it’s too warm to absorb the backfeed, which is a necessary result of the cooling process.
Which effectively still means that they can’t properly cool the plant because the river water is too warm.
Besides providing verbatim records of who said what, there is a second can of worms in forming any sort of binding agreement if the two sides of the agreement are having two different conversations.
I think this is what the part about the missed nuance means.
Wenn keiner ran geht, kann man aber auch nicht behaupten man hätte den anderen informiert.
Once this has been implemented, something worse can be implemented.
I don’t like these slippery slope arguments. You might as well reduce it to any legislation.
Once people are allowed to make laws, bad people can make bad laws.
Which is why we must continue to vote in the right people, not abandon the concept of laws.
In this case, I don’t doubt that copyright infringement and general censorship are on some people’s agenda.
But this current proposal is bad enough itself and should be opposed because of that and not because someone might make other, even worse proposals in the future.
France has plenty of nuclear power.
It doesn’t help with renewable peaks in the slightest.
What is needed are storage solutions and flexible usage that can utilize cheap power at peak times.
Wie immer haben höhere Strafen nur wenig Einfluss auf mögliches strafbares Verhalten.
Viel wichtiger wären konsequentere Verfolgung und v.a. Prävention aber das kostet halt.
This principle is called Richtlinienkompetenz (directive competence). He or she can basically order members of his cabinet what to do.
It should be noted, that this doesn’t allow the Chancellor to micromanage the Ministers.
The Chancellor can set the political agenda and make high level decisions but Ministers have some degree of constitutionally ensured independence in how exactly they implement policies.
Da eine Reaktion der polnischen Seite auch auf Nachfrage für mehrere Stunden ausblieb
Ich frage mich halt auch, wie diese Nachfrage ausgesehen hat.
Wenn man direkt anruft, kann eine Reaktion ja nicht komplett ausbleiben.
Die Bundespolizei wird doch wohl die Nummer vom polnischen Grenzschutz haben.
Tbf, it sounds like neither side did a stellar job here.
Poland not reacting “for several hours” makes it sound almost deliberate.
Then again, I wonder how German police “informed” Poland for there to be no reaction. Did they fax?
If they think the situation requires an immediate reply, why not call them? Surely a dedicated border patrol unit would have a contact number.
Also, despite Schengen I don’t think police can just cross the border to another state unless in pursuit of some fleeing criminal.
And just dumping these people in some random location without any involvement of local authorities doesn’t seem like proper protocol.
It doesn’t “rely” on that.
France doesn’t rely on river water to cool power plants?
Where does the water come from then?
Im November 2023 hatten die Bundesländer die Reform zunächst abgelehnt – vor allem die Länder, in denen die Union mitregiert. Sie kritisierten: Die Verkehrssicherheit werde in der Gesetzesänderung nicht genug betont.
Deshalb steht in dem Entwurf, den der Vermittlungsausschuss abgesegnet hat, dass die Sicherheit des Verkehrs nicht beeinträchtigt werden dürfe.
Puh, da hat uns die Union aber gerade noch so vor gemeingefährlichen Tempo 30 Zonen bewahrt.
Nicht auszudenken was passiert wäre, wenn Kommunen die eingeführt hätten, ohne dass das extra mit im Gesetz steht.
That’s half the explanation.
The economic and social decline makes people susceptible to populists.
But the other half is this:
They’re not the only populists.
To vote for outright, obvious Neo-Nazis you also have to ok with Neo-Nazis.
Unfortunately that’s exactly how it works.
Look at any country’s border and tell me which ones weren’t established by violence.
The actual question is, what alternative to accepting Israel’s existence would you propose. Because forcefully removing them would just be one more crime.
