I note it as possibly being a token sop thrown out for critics and editorialists to gnaw on.

Sivari on sankari, totaali on tosimies.

How to fuck do I translate that?

Civilian service man is a hero, total conscientious objector is a true man.

Apparently total conscientious objectors nowadays mostly get 173 days of house arrest sometimes prison.

Um… okay. Can you tell me what I did wrong, other than post a video about a conscientious objector in Israel, who, according to herself, will end up in solitary (if other trans women’s experiences hold)?

Traslationn is hard… Totaali in this case is a man who is willing to go to prison instead of any sort of service and those people are true men. Man because we don’t have genre equality in conscription.

Germany to halt weapons exports to Israel which could be used in Gaza, Merz says
Germany will suspend its arms exports to Israel which could be used in the Gaza Strip, Chancellor Friedrich Merz says in reaction to Israel’s plans to takeover Gaza City.

Speaking moments ago, Merz says his government will not approve any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza until further notice.

Merz says it was “increasingly difficult to understand” how the Israeli military plan would help achieve legitimate aims, adding: “Under these circumstances, the German government will not authorise any exports of military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip until further notice.”

Historically, Germany has been one of the largest arms suppliers to Israel.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), external a research institute that looks into conflict and armaments, the US was Israel’s largest supplier of military imports in the period between 2020-2024, with Germany the second largest.
