A tale of two European elections and foreign interference: 1. Slovenia, where the Mossad brazenly interfered to unseat the incumbent for standing up against the Gaza genocide. Slovenia officially asked the EU for help, but the EU did nothing. ⬇️ responsiblestatecraft.org/slovenia-elect…

This is what terrorism looks like, state terrorism, we do it to others and then we act shocked when others do it back to us. War crimes:

For many years, when we visited Wife’s cousins in Bihac, their WiFi password was SergejBarbarez. Being clueless about football it was a big mystery for us. Now we know that name was a password into the World Cup ❤️💪

“While we were engaged in negotiations, they struck us,” #Iran’s Kamal Kharazi told CNN on Mar. 9. Today his home was struck, wife killed, he sustained serious injuries. NYT reports Kharazi was discussing w Pakistan possible US-Iran negotiations w VP Vance

@SamiSyrjamaki @filsdeproust @hsfi ..voi koskaan käytännössä kuroa euromääräistä eroa umpeen, ellei työnantaja ala oikein höveliksi.

@SamiSyrjamaki @filsdeproust @hsfi Vartia7sen kiemurtelu suomeksi: sitä, ettei valtakunnan sovittelija saa ehdottaa vientialojen korotuksia korkeampia korotuksia. Se on lailla kielletty. Miksi kukaan työnantaja sopisi niistä vapaaehtoisesti? Ongelma: %-korotuksista palkkakuopassa olevat (naisvaltaiset) alat eivät

HS @hsfi kieltämättä jakaa tässä tyystin väärää tietoa.

Kai näillä on vähintään jotkut pakotteet ja maahantulokielto?

Not a parody, not a comedy show item. Donald Trump has designed for his Presidential Library main hall, as its highlight, a 10m tall golden statue of himself.

@elinavaltonen @Ulkoministerio This is a shame.

I had a good call with my Kuwaiti counterpart, His Excellency Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. I expressed Finland's full solidarity and condemned Iran’s attacks on Kuwait and the GCC states.

Israeli kanagaroo courts have a 99% conviction rate against Palestinians. Now theyre imposing the death penalty as part of sentencing. It goes w/o saying this punishment won’t b applied to Jewish IsraelIs. But pls cut our mics again when we say apartheid. apple.news/A1B-1NQqBROWoh…

@YleKankkonen @petterij Okey, kiiros. Tuntuu kummalliselta, että joku eloton voi tehdä "itsemurhan".

@ViRiikonen @petterij Joskus puhutaan myös kamikazedroonista. Se tuhoutuu iskussa, eikä yritetä palauttaa lähtöpaikalle uusintakäyttöä varten, kuten esimerkiksi raketteja/ohjuksia ja pommeja kantavat turkkilaiset TB2 Bayraktar-droonit. Niitten kantama muistaakseni paljon lyhyempi.

Kuvitteellinen tilanne: radiossa luetaan vaaratilanne lähestyvästä droonista. Asut kaupungissa, miten reagoisit? is.fi/kotimaa/art-20…

@YleKankkonen @petterij Mikä on jutun ingressissä mainittu "itsemurhalennokki"?

@petterij Menisin portaita väestönsuojaan, joka ei toki valmisteltu. Jos kiire tiedossa päätäni suojaten makuulle eteiseen siten, että minun ja ulkomaailman välillä ulkoseinä ja toinen seinä. Siinä sattuu olemaan betoninen ulkoseinä ja kaksi höttöisempää sisäseinää. Olisin huolestunut.

@j_haka No täällähän käy kaikki järjen jättiläiset kommentoimassa.

@ViRiikonen @AgnetaKallst @ElmerHalonen

Ukraina iski vahingossa Kouvolaan venäjän sijaan. Annamme anteeksi. Virhe olisi voinut sattua kenelle tahansa.

@EiNatsaa Pitikö tästä loukkaantua? Vähän terävämpää pitäisi olla. Mutta kuten Itä-Suomesa sanotaan: ei voi kauhalla vaatia kun on lusikalla annettu.

@ViRiikonen @ElmerHalonen @AgnetaKallst No toisena itäsuomalaisena kommentoin, että sinulla on paska huumorin taju.

Today, March 30, 2026, the Knesset votes on the Palestinian prisoners’ death penalty law ⚠️ A move that throws thousands of prisoners into the face of death. Ben-Gvir and his party members wore a noose-shaped pin, demanding it be turned into an enforceable law. 🆘Save the prisoners✊🕊️

While many countries are abolishing or reducing the use of the death penalty, Israel is doing the opposite, writing it into law. Israel’s Death Penalty Law institutionalizes and legalizes the state’s mechanism for executing Palestinians. Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and at least 1,050 Palestinians in the West Bank. During this time, more than 80 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons, which have turned into a network of torture camps where prisoners are subjected to continuous abuse and violence. The death penalty law adds another official killing mechanism to existing practices. The mass incarceration of Palestinians is a feature of Israel’s apartheid regime. As of March 2026, about 9,500 Palestinians are held in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons, roughly half of them under administrative detention or as “unlawful combatants,” without trial and with no ability to defend themselves. Death penalty for Palestinians only: The law is worded to apply to Palestinians only, and it is set to make the killing of Palestinians a normalized, common punitive tool through several mechanisms: The law gives military courts no discretion. Military judges will be required to sentence Palestinians convicted of murder to death, except in “special circumstances.” There is no requirement for a unanimous decision. A simple majority will suffice, and avenues for appeal will be extremely limited. Only Palestinians are tried in military courts. Their conviction rate is 96%, based largely on “confessions” extracted under duress and torture during interrogations. The penalty, execution by hanging, must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no possibility of pardon. A designated prison officer will execute the sentence. The law, which enjoys broad public support in Israel, is expected to pass in the Knesset tomorrow, Monday, 30 March. The Israel Prison Service has already begun preparing designated execution facilities. The death penalty is a total violation of the most basic human rights, primarily, the right to life. Israel enforces a comprehensive policy of killing and oppression against the Palestinian people in all the territories it controls. The Death Penalty Law gives Israel’s apartheid regime yet another tool for advancing that policy.
