For decades, Germany has had a very active – brutal and very dangerous – milieu of Neo-Nazis that operate throughout the country and not just in Germany’s capital of Berlin and East-Germany. ![]()

One of the more recently discovered Neo-Nazi platoons consist of young fascists who became known as The Young Eagles or Jungadler. To the unsuspecting outsider, the name ‘young eagles’ appears rather innocent.![]()
![]()
This is yet another cohort of heirs of Germany’s infamous Hitler Youth. This time, it’s the Neo-Nazis’ Brandenburg (East-Germany) unit. In-itself, this is neither new nor particularly newsworthy. ![]()
![]()
What is, however, most illuminating is the link between this Neo-Nazi youth organization and Germany’s legal system of courts and public prosecutors. This is nothing new.
The way the renewal of full-scale genocide in Gaza is being presented is misleading. The problem is not that Netanyahu is applying pressure to secure the release of the Israeli captives—that’s just a pretext. What they’re really trying to do is avoid having to withdraw from Gaza, which is supposed to happen in phase two of the ceasefire framework.![]()
The real issue is the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza—and beyond that, allowing for the reconstruction of Gaza, which Israel clearly doesn’t want to do — says Ofer Neiman, an Israeli left activist involved in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

What Israel is trying to do is carve Syria into two or three separate entities. A Kurdish-Druze-dominated zone in the east and south, an Alawite-dominated coastal region, and whatever remains—a Sunni-majority area, based on Israel’s own sectarian logic. That’s their strategy: divide and rule. Even though there are no official documents showing that, this is the narrative that is present in the local media.

Poland is on the brink of transformative possibility — or irreparable stagnation. After three decades of impressive catch-up growth, driven by EU funds, foreign direct investment, and integration into global value chains — which was preceded by more than a decade of socially brutal transformation — the country is rapidly approaching the limits of its economic model. A system once praised for its pragmatism is now showing signs of structural fatigue. The “golden age”, as economist Marcin Piątkowski once called it in his bestselling book on the Polish economic miracle, is at risk of becoming a missed opportunity unless Polish elites rise to the occasion with bold vision and concrete action.
