Bei Trumps UN-Rede dachte man kurz, er bewerbe sich fürs „Supertalent“. Kaputte Rolltreppe, streikender Teleprompter, Todesstrafen für die Technik – ein Abend voller Comedy. Nur: Niemand lacht. Jürgen Lieser hätte sich Transparente, Eierwürfe oder wenigstens ein Pfeifkonzert gewünscht. Stattdessen: Applaus aus Höflichkeit, Guterres beim Powernap. #Trump

🇺🇳 The #UN General Assembly has endorsed a roadmap toward Palestinian statehood without Hamas involvement.
The “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution” (document A/80/L.1/Rev.1) was adopted by a recorded vote of 142 in favor to 10 against with 12 abstentions.
The text of the declaration demands that…
A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.
It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."
also portable and accessible to all platforms, everywhere.
Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @… our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!
So, whether or not this is timely, I don't know, but should you need to suddenly rebuild some semblance of civilization from scratch…

Dear Canadians supportive of #Palestine and against the ongoing #Genocide in Israel and the Humanitarian catastrophe that is ongoing. 
There is a House of Commons e-Petition e-6751 currently open for signature.
It states:
Whereas:
Under Common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions, Canada is required to respect international humanitarian law;
Under Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel as an occupying power must allow and facilitate humanitarian aid by impartial organizations;
Canada’s own International Assistance Accountability Act requires that all Canadian foreign aid uphold human rights and international legal standards; and
Israel’s policy and actions violate all of these obligations.
We, the undersigned, Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to
1. Publicly and unequivocally reject the militarized aid model currently used in Palestine;
2. Request the full restoration of access for UN agencies and established humanitarian NGOs, including UNRWA and the World Food Programme;
3. Insist on safe and immediate entry for Canadian healthcare workers and other international humanitarian personnel to Palestine;
4. Withhold Canadian funding from any entity or model that does not comply with principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence, and humanity; and
5. Ensure that all Canadian aid to Gaza is delivered through internationally recognized humanitarian channels.
