MESOP TODAYS COMMENTARY : IF YOU CANCEL BORDERS YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO IDENTIFY NEW ORDERS OR ENTITIES /
A Border as a Dynamic Space
By Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen May 26, 2017 – BESA Center Perspectives No. 477, May 26, 2017 – Israel
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Israel aspires to permanent borders. Yet a nation, a homeland, a state, and permanent borders are not necessarily congruent, and this complexity is not unique to Israel. Israel should rethink the popular assumption that a homeland and political borders must be a perfect fit. The yearning for permanent borders exists on the Israeli right, too; it is not only a phenomenon of the liberal left. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=86071

Trump Mideast Trip Marks a Shift from Obama
May 24, 2017 | Ambassador Dennis Ross – Former Special Assistant to the President and National Security Council Senior Director for the Central Region
President Donald Trump heads to The Vatican and Brussels on Wednesday, after wrapping up a trip to the Middle East, which started in Saudi Arabia and ended in Israel.

MESOP REPORT : US Senate tones down Iran sanctions bill after input from Obama team
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee overwhelmingly passed Iran sanctions legislation May 25, but only after making several changes requested by Barack Obama administration officials who helped negotiate the nuclear deal.
Author Julian Pecquet Posted May 25, 2017 – AL MONITOR – The modifications are the latest example of the broad but discreet bipartisan commitment to keeping the much-maligned Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in place even while tightening non-nuclear sanctions on Iran. The revised bill ended up passing 18-3, with even outspoken nuclear deal advocates such as Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Tim Kaine, D-Va., voting in favor. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=86078

MESOP CULTURE : WARUM MANCHESTER / DIE GRÜNDE LIEGEN AUF DER HAND
DIE STRATEGISCHEN PARALLELGESELLSCHAFTEN DES ISLAM IN EUROPA – Von Jochen Buchsteiner (FAZ) – 26 Mai 2017
„Die islamischen Parallelgesellschaften, die sich überall im Land entfalten durften, sind zu Nährböden für den Extremismus geworden. Fast alle Terroristen, die sich aus Britannien dem „Islamischen Staat“ angeschlossen oder Anschläge im Königreich geplant haben, wuchsen in Stadtteilen auf, in denen muslimische Schullehrer, Imame und Scharia-Gerichte das Leben bestimmen. Salman Abedi, der Selbstmordattentäter aus Manchester, ist dafür ein weiteres Beispiel. Die untragbaren Zustände in manchen Vierteln, in denen antidemokratisches Denken und Hass auf die westliche Lebensart gedeihen, sind bestens dokumentiert, sogar in Regierungsgutachten – aber ändern tut sich nichts.

MESOP CULTURE : Dr. JESUS ! / ad Kirchentag
Wenn frühere Präsidiale der Deutschen Evangelischen Kirche oder deren Theologen oder andere Religionsphilosophen von Rang öffentlich auftraten und publizierten, dann waren ihre schlichten Vor- und Nachnamen ausreichend und namhaft genug.
Nie wäre ein Martin Niemöller auch nur auf den Gedanken gekommen, sich akademisch betitelt vorzustellen, oder ein Karl Barth, oder ein Bultmann, oder Paul Tillich – oder ein Jacob Taubes et .al. – der aktuelle Mann aber zeichnet in der FAZ stets seine Artikel mit Professor D. Dr. Heinrich Bedford-Strohm.

MESOP NEWS “ENTHÜLLUNG” : NEW YORK / MOSKAU !
25 Mai 2017 : An diesem Donnerstag wußte die NEW YORK TIMES als cornerstone der Rezeption des linksliberalen Establishments aufklärend zu berichten, daß Trump sich nun „nach dem Besuch beim Papst nach Taormina in den playground der europäischen Playboys“ begeben werde – vermutlich um an diesem von ihm selbst nicht gewählten Ort nichts als Golf zu spielen!
Dem mochte der deutsche prime journalism nicht nachstehen, der schon Trumps Yad Vashem Rede in Israel brutal absichtsvoll in Teilen falsch übersetzt hatte, weshalb nun erneut auszuholen war mit der Behauptung eines nie von Trump geäußerten Wortes von „den bösen Deutschen“.
Juncker musste das heute entschieden dementieren.
Man schwankt: sind sie nur einfach kindisch-dumm ? Oder sind diese politisch Korrekten mit dem LBGTQ-Flair so infam verlogen wie Lavrovs Pressedame Maria Zakharova ?

Interview von René Scheu 20.5.2017, 05:30 Uhr – NZZ – Jörg Baberowski ist ein Verfechter des freien Disputs und eckt damit in Deutschland an. Eine trotzkistische Splittergruppe an der Humboldt-Universität in Berlin will den Geschichtsprofessor mundtot machen. Doch hält er dagegen und wirft linken Intellektuellen seinerseits vor, voraufklärerische Zustände zu zementieren.

MESOP CULTURE : AUCH DEM DEKONSTRUKTIVISTISCHEN DISKURSTHEORETIKER SCHLÄGT DIE STUNDE DER REALIEN
Zurück zur Realität / von Alexander Gusovius (SCHLAGLICHTER) – Das Ende der großen Simulation
Gleich nach dem Anschlag in Manchester, bei dem erneut so viele Menschen getötet oder verletzt wurden, trommelten wieder jene Wörter und Sentenzen auf uns ein, die man kaum noch zu hören vermag, ohne sich innerlich abzuwenden – nicht vom furchtbaren Geschehen und traurigen Schicksal der Opfer, sondern vom formelhaften Diskurs, der politisch in Gang gesetzt wird: mittels gestanzter Äußerungen wie feige, unbegreiflich, widerwärtig, Dialog, weiterleben wie bisher, Besonnenheit…
Was uns hier heimsucht, ist der Fluch einer jahre-, wenn nicht jahrzehntelangen Simulation von Politik. Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=86082
