a banger of an article in the paper of the smaller finnish communist party (ML), concerning genocide and how finland liked to partake and still does tbh translation below

The policies of the Finnish occupation regime in Karelia during the Second World War are again being discussed in the public eye in the context of a trial in the Republic of Karelia in Petrozavodsk. Finland is accused of war crimes and genocide against the Karelian population.

The events in Karelia are a complex and long story that cannot be honoured in a single article. I recommend to everyone Tomi Mäkinen's series of articles published in Työkansan Sanomat on Itä-Karjalan miehitys ja suomalaisten perustamat keskitysleirit 1941–44 (the occupation of East Karelia and the concentration camps set up by the Finns), and Marja-Leena Mikkola's book Menetetty lapsuus (Lost Childhood), on which the series of articles is based.

Mäkinen's series of articles and Mikkola's book describe Finnish actions from the perspective of Karelian and Karelian Russian survivors. In addition, several skilled writers have published articles on fascism and Finnish fascism in Työkansan Sanomat and on the Ktp website.

In short, the Finns who invaded Soviet Karelia in the Continuation War, inspired by the Greater Finland ideology, finnic tribalism and the practices of their allies in Nazi Germany, set up concentration camps where ethnic cleansing was carried out.

The Finns distinguished between the 'non-ethnic', i.e. Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles, Tatars and Latvians, and what they considered 'Finns', i.e. ethnic Karelians, Vepsians, Ingrians, Estonians and Mordvians, and sought to turn the ''Finnic'' into Finns.

All those in the camps experienced extreme physical, mental and cultural oppression. Thousands of men, women and children died from forced labour, starvation and punishments.

There is no doubt that Russia could or would use this trial for anti-Finnish propaganda today. The regime in capitalist Russia does not itself have a particular devotion to the rights of minorities. However, this fact should not justify the way in which genocide accusations are handled in Finland. Karelians have the right at any time to bring past events to light and demand accountability from Finland.

The Finnish media's response to the accusations has been to play down the events of the Continuation War, to accuse those involved of being Russian propagandists and to complain about unfair and dishonest historical research which 'claims that Finland was a fascist country that committed genocide'.

Unfortunately, in the light of Finnish historiography, this is not surprising. Finland has always responded to criticism of the state's actions from independence until the end of the Second World War with a strong defensive stance.

The Finnish government has been "forced" to ban political parties, imprison, torture and kill political opponents. The state "accidentally" had links with criminal fascist groups. Finland "had a difficult choice" between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Finland " was forced " to choose the Nazis. And even when they set up concentration camps, the Finns did it for a reason more noble than the other genocidaires. And all the deaths were accidents.

Such whining is all over the history books of our country. All the Finnish rulers from the beginning to the end are just blue-eyed, silly little children who do nothing wrong, but at the same time all the evil is done in self-defence. Refusing to accept responsibility is an extremely dangerous act, both for our past and for our future.

In the current situation, in which the state is again preparing itself for war, such a view of history and cognitive dissonance tends to be forgotten as if by magic. However, this is a time when fascism, war crimes and genocide should be better known and understood.

No matter what the imperialists want, this current war will end one day, and then we will be left wondering how thousands more have died, how the war feels so absurd again.

Genocidal nationalism in our culture is not just about ourselves and our own actions. The tradition of keeping quiet and following the bigger picture was seen again when Finland abstained in October 2023 in the UN vote on the Gaza ceasefire. This vote in Finland was preceded by a barrage of news reports calling Palestinians and pro-Palestinians terrorists and talking about Israeli self-defence.

A lot of dooming in this thread. Nasrallah is a massive loss, he'll be missed and honoured as a true hero. But we're really missing the forest for the trees here. What's next for Israel? What wins do they even have left? What happens when tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and every day after that, when the rockets keep flying into northern Israel, when the settlers are still unable to return to their homes, when the residents of Haifa keep running for cover? Nasrallah has already won, the decline of the entity is baked in. There's nothing for them to do but death, death at a mass scale, but none of it changes the game. Hezbollah will keep pounding the Israelis, and a thousand Nasrallahs wait in the ranks. Leaders are important, but when the people have resolve you cannot stop them. If you need some hope today watch The Battle of Algiers, it shows how even if you kill everybody, you eliminate all the leaders, you cannot kill the movement. You cannot win.

Hey news heads, where’s my +600 unread comments?

Haven't had time to check in on the video front much today but a cursory glance suggests very little has changed compared to yesterday. Regular sirens everywhere in the country, some videos of missiles but not as much as day one, etc etc.

This is the new normal.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission adopted measures announced on Friday that ask exchanges to validate carbon offset derivatives, which base their prices on those of financial instruments bought by companies to offset emissions.

Earlier this summer, Treasury secretary Janet Yellen unveiled guidelines for developers selling credits, and for the companies buying them to offset emissions. Former US climate envoy John Kerry has also thrown his weight behind carbon credit markets, launching a state department-led initiative in 2022 aimed at decarbonising regional power sectors.

Despite the political momentum behind efforts to develop voluntary carbon markets, Behnam cautioned that the energy transition would “take decades”.

“This notion that we’re going to be able to just transition to renewables in the near future and not rely on carbon-based energy sources . . . it’s not reality, right?” said [CFTC chair Rostin] Behnam. “The transition is going to take time.”

I wonder what it's like to be a Zionist. Are they happy? Is morale at an all-time high? Are they confident that the genocide will be complete and Israel's ultimate perfect victory is assured? Is Israel doing everything they want them to do and just racking up W after W, while the Resistance is too scared to respond? Have any of them died from being overloaded by constant ecstasy? Or is all of this just a matter of perspective?

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
— In the coming days, the resistance will shatter the enemy's euphoria and make it pay for its crimes.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourned the martyred leaders who ascended in the enemy's attacks and massacres in recent days in Lebanon, especially the leaders accompanying His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah.

The Front stressed that despite the serious loss of these important leaders, these losses will not weaken the resistance, nor affect its capability or determination in the battle. Rather, it will increase its determination to continue the battle to support the resistance in the Gaza Strip and defend its people.

The Front stressed that the resistance, in all its factions on all fronts, today is more cohesive and determined than ever before, and is able to manage the battle with competence, backed by an unrelenting fighting will and a firm determination to deter this criminal enemy, regardless of the challenges, the crimes of the occupation, and the loss of heroic leaders.

The Front stressed that the zionist bet on massacres and assassinations has miscalculated. The coming days will expose the enemy's illusions and shatter its false euphoria, when it starts paying heavy prices for its brutal crimes.

The Front concluded its statement, stressing that the resistance today is more aware and determined to continue the same path and honor the blood of the martyred leaders. The coming days will prove that the blood of these leaders will remain fuel for the continuation and escalation of the resistance. There will be no retreat from the path of confrontation, no matter how great the sacrifices are.

Die Zeit found the perfect framing device in a young man the reporter just happened upon in front of the bomb crater south of Beirut, and apparently follows him around all night. He's perfect for the story. Too perfect.

He's looking for his family from one of the nearby damaged buildings (no worries happy ending). His father is Hezbollah, he's Hezbollah technically, but doesn't want to become a fighter against his father's wishes. They had a fight and he's the black sheep of the family now. He works at a hair salon and rather likes beautiful hair, no, beauty itself! He blames Hezbollah for this. He says there were of course weapons at the Hezbollah HQ next to his home. He thinks Israel is just too powerful; can't be beaten. He just wants to live in a real country with a proper army and a president.

This conversation with a young man who lives and grew up in the heart of the Hezbollah movement, who, as he says, is of course a member, like everyone in this neighborhood, but is not convinced, who criticizes Hezbollah so bluntly amidst a crowd of irritated Hezbollah guards, is completely improbable - and perhaps only possible for this reason. Nobody pays attention to us anymore.

OK now they're just fucking with me, right?

I guess you'd call these internal refugees?

Brazilian President Lula da Silva and Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuse Israel's prime minister of genocide. They also say that the UN urgently needs to be reformed.

Both said how can the UN have the strength to create a country like Israel, but not have the same strength to create a Palestinian state. Lula da Silva added that Benjamin Netanyahu does not respect the UN, or any law. That he is a criminal and a genocider.

Gustavo Petro and Lula da Silva believe that the UN Security Council should be tougher on Israel and force an immediate ceasefire. They also accused European countries and the United States of spending money on wars in Ukraine and Israel, but not sending any aid to Latin American, African and Asian countries suffering from climate change. This was agreed decades ago but has never been fulfilled.

Zionist minister makes a case before the world that southern Lebanon should be annexed into the Zionist entity:

Zionists are complaining that they can no longer be Nazis in South African universities, namely in Cape Town - Haaretz (paywalled btw, )

In related matters, South Africa has also apparently more-or-less resolved its loadshedding woes by achieving nuclear fusion from Zionist tears.
