This tiny boxwood peapod (10 cm) was carved in c. 1500 by a North German artist. It opens to reveal little peas, and then those peas open to reveal ten little carved scenes from Genesis. Now housed at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin

"German Chancellor Friedrich #Merz has said that #Germany, #France, the #UnitedKingdom and the #UnitedStates have lifted all restrictions on #Ukraine regarding the range of strikes"
That's great
Day 1,188 of the full scale invasion
11 years after the initial invasion
#West (such as it is with the #USA gone to dementia) and #Europe:
You don't win a bar fight with one hand tied behind your back
It's weakness to not understand the full aspect of the malice before you

Quoting Gideon Levy on how Germany is betraying the memory of the Holocaust through its response to the situation in Gaza:
[...] It is difficult, if not impossible, in Germany to criticize Israel, no matter its actions. This isn't friendship; it's a subservience to the past that must end in the face of Gaza. The "special relationship" cannot include legitimizing war crimes. Germany has no right to ignore the International Criminal Court, which was established because of its crimes, and to consider inviting a prime minister wanted for war crimes. It has no right to continue reciting clichés of the past and laying wreaths at Yad Vashem, an hour and a half's drive from Khan Yunis.

The #Netherlands & #Germany intelligence agencies have gathered evidence of widespread Russian use of banned #ChemicalWeapons in #Ukraine, including dropping a choking agent from drones to drive soldiers out of trenches to be shot.
"The main conclusion is that we can confirm #Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons," Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans said Friday.
