Things didnt slow down past the immediate issue of having to redeploy some settler terrorists from the Westbank to Gaza.

Overall they accelerated a lot already in 2024.

You can test for methanol in various ways during destillation. But also you don’t need to test for it, if you control your temperature properly and discard a sufficient amount at the beginning.

Even if you would not discard anything, if you fill all your destillate in one container, so ethanol and methanol mix again, it decreases the effectiveness of the methanol.

Methanol itself is not directly toxic. The damage is done by formaldehyde and formic acid that come from your body metabolising the methanol. Methanol gets metabolized on the same routes as ethanol, which the body favors. So one way to treat methanol poisoning is by ingesting untainted ethanol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_poisoning

All fermented drinks contain both ethanol and methanol. But because the ratio is not altered with bad distillation, you wont get methanol poisoning from untainted beer or wine.

The key points in this and many other examples where Jewish anti-zionists are targeted, be it by such verbal attacks, deplatforming or police violence are imo.:

• Germany (as in gov. officials and politicians) feels entitled to make value judgements about jewish people
• Germany does not extend its support and protection to jewish people because of the German history. This support is conditional on them adhering to the idea of how the Jews should and shouldnt be.
• Germany conflates jewish identity with the state of Israel and setting a sort of equality to it. Ironically that is an example of antisemitism by some definitions including thr IHRA preffered by German politics.
• The guilt and responsibility is increasingly shifted onto Arab and other immigrants often highly critical of Israel. This serves to absolve Germany from the still rampant “Nazi-antisemitism” but is mainly used to justify racism against the groups “importing” antisemitism.

So once again German government officials judge as to who are “good” or “bad” or well “real” Jews. The fundamental being that those who fall into the categories acceptable are championed as examples in a sometimes absurd way (philosemitism) and those who are outside these categoroes get targeted with repressions.

But it is very simple. Jewish people are people like anyone else. Be it by religion or ethnicity, there is people of all sorts of personal, societal and political identities. Where they face discrimination because of their jewish identity it needs to be adressed and there should be a special emphasis on this, due to the German history. But it cannot and must not be conflated with the state of Israel and allegiance to it.

I am sorry. It was not mentioned in the article, but the podcast.

Here is another interview where it is mentioned

Here is the “Dienstaufsichtsbeschwerde” (complaint about the violation of duty by a public official) by the German Jewish Voice for Peace reacting to the attack by the anti antisemitism commissioner Michael Blume of the state Baden Wurtemmberg:

Here is the Tweet of Blume. His exact wording was “vorgeblich” which translates to “allegedly” but more in the sense of “pretending to be”.

We are not talking about indecision over lowering taxes or budget allocations. We are talking about Germany backing Israel and arming it, while very blatantly ignoring, relativising and sometimes denying Israeli crimes. We are talking about upholding international law for the prevention and punishment of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I watch every of the press conferences. The statements are almost identical to a year ago. And almost every conference, so two to three times a week, the topic comes up as yet another crime was committed so outrageously that it made news, or another report showed how systematic the crimes are.

And in this particular instance they were asked repeatedly, how come they didnt prepare for the warrants to happen and now they claim, that they would first have to look i to whether they recognize the ICCs authority, despite that having been ruled by the ICC in 2021 already.

This is all very deliberate. And it is not like the speakers just got the topic served today. They are giving these talking points and evasions consistently since a year. They are in full support of what they are saying as any decent human would have resigned from such a position long ago. Sometimes in the conferences you saw some of them seriously struggling emotionally, because something in them must have told them that it is wrong to reply to the intentional starvation of millions or the murder of children with “right to self defense and this is all Hamas fault.” Othertimes you can see them smirking like when they denied knowing anything about the pager attacks. Or a bit more recent regarding how they misrepresented the clashes in Amsterdam where one question was regarding the video of Maccabi hools hunting Amsterdam locals in the street that was misrepresented as Maccabi Hools being the victims instead of perpetraitors in this specific video. Hebestreit started attackinf the question asker, how he dares denying what has happened in Amsterdam, which the question wasn about at all.

They seem a bit cowardly now, that they got yet another slap by reality that is hard to ignore, but they have been the talking heads for the heinous conduct of thos government in regards to Israel happily for more than a year now.

If you are an anti-zionist Jew in Germany you’ll face a brunt of repressions. German “anti antisemitism” comissioners even go as far as calling anti-zionist Jews “allegedly jewish”, thereby deciding who are “good” and “bad” Jews.

Unfortunately international media is not capturing the gravity of the German government winding around and refusing to say they abide by the ICC decision.

Here is todays gov. press conference in German. Maybe Youtube provides auto-translation. I think the faces and the way they talk can be understood even without knowing German.

So what is Donny going to do worse? Complete the genocide faster?

Because Biden, Harris and the DNC have made it abundantly clear that they support the genocide and total annihilation of all Palestinians and to erase any last bit of Palestine from the Maps. They just wanted it to happen at a pace that allows to pretend not being white supremacist mass murderers to continue getting the votes of the minorities in the US.

The Dems need to be punished over this until they remove the genocidal white supremacists from their ranks.

That is the only way to create a political momentum to get a non genocidal political option in the US

Iran qnd Israel shared “warm ties” while the Shah was in power as a western puppet. His internal police was trained and worked together with Mossad and CIA to torture murder and dissappear tens of thousands of people.

The moment things changed is pretty straight forward. When the revolution kicked out the Western puppet. Unfortunately the revolutionary moment was seized by the theocrats who now also run an opressive regime.

You deliberately left out the paragraph right before that explaining all of this.

Motivated by the periphery doctrine, Imperial Iran and Israel had close relations, seeing Arab powers as a common threat. After the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran cut off relations, but covert ties continued during the subsequent Iran–Iraq War. Iran trained and armed Hezbollah during Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and continued to back Shia militias throughout the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon.[27] Even before 1979, Iranian Islamists had materially supported the Palestinians; after 1979 Iran attempted relations with the Palestine Liberation Organization, and later with Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. Israel fought a war with Hezbollah in 2006. Israel has fought several wars with Palestinians in and around the Gaza Strip: in 2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2021 and 2023–2024. The 1982 Lebanon War and Israel–Hamas war have been the deadliest wars of the Arab–Israeli conflict.[28]

Russia and NK arent best buddies and neither China nor Russia were particularly fond of NK developong nukes either. Finally sanctions give an opportunity for smuggling and increasing dependency or it could have been a tit for tat deal to allow sanctions on NK in exchange for some other political gain.

Industrial ethanol? It is still just ethanol. It is not more poisonous because it is “industrial”.

When referring to “industrial alcohol” it always means methanol in that context.

And for industrial purposes fermentation is still the way to make ethanol, rather than chemical synthesis.

Finally, what is denatured alcohol even supposed to mean? Proteins can denature, but they are complex molecules. Alcohol cannot denature.

I am sorry, but what you write does not make any sense.

Why would Iran be a threat to Israel and the US? Could it be because of violently overthrowing the democrwtically elected leader and installing a puppet that murdered and tortured his people with US and Israeli aid for 30 years, so the US could steal oil from Iran?

Naah, why would anyone feel offended by this? Clearly they are just evil and don’t like bald eagles…

Also the US doesnt give a shit about Iran specifically. The US needs Israel as the rusty knife in the side of West Asia to sow division among the Arab and muslim nations. If they were to get rid of their corrupted leaders and Israel they could quickly grow to a power bloc that can’t be pushed around anymore.

The US needed perpetual war and instability in the Region. And Israel is a good means to instigate that. Meanwhile Europe suffers greatly from the US instability workings.

Obviously not. Russia is a permanent security council member with veto powers. None of the veto powers will ever get sanctioned by the UN, as they will always veto them.

Jewish Americans are at threat of anihilation by their regional neighbour Iran?

It doesnt matter if the ICC gains from it politically or not. Justice can only be served if equal rules are respected by everyone or at least most of the involved. Now it will be put to test, if nations like Germany, France or the UK actually care for a rules based international order, or if it was just a sham to get what they wanted. If the masks fall, at least it gives the other nations a clear fighting ground, knowing that there is no point in abiding by any rules with the countries rallying behind the war criminals instead of rallying behind the law.

Good. This helps building a case for the next row to be charged. I hope that at the end of this genocide and plethora of war crimes there stands a trial that will get everyone who committed or supported it to face justice and spend the rest of their lifes in prison. And if that means imprisoning most of active duty IDF and all the “settler” terrorists so be it.

Israelis are largely in favor of it. Netanyahus approval has skyrocketed, when they launched the offensive on Lebanon and Israelis opposing the wars and occupation are increasingly targeted by the government and government affiliated “settler” terror groups. These terror groups have ramped up their pogroms in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and decent Israelis who get in their way are beaten while the IDF watches.

While i appreciate the whish that Russian nukes don’t work, it would be exceptional for none of their 10.000 or so to work. Even if only 1 in 1.000 work, that is still enough to annihilate some 10-20 million people or so.

Probably a warning in response to letting Ukraine use western missiles deep into russian territory.
