The Taliban went from freedom fighters when Russia invaded to terrorists when we were there.

About the same, give or take.I once got a hand job off a lass in a cemetery in my teens, not sure if my actions were more disrespectful than launching a rocket from one.

What's the figures for Ukrainians coming in. I'm kinda thinking a 1000% more than Syrians?Not true.

That was done by local authorities through migration partnerships, rather than the general pubic getting involved as was the case with Homes for Ukraine.Not true.

If you’ve got no electricity, no water, no right to a proper economy and your buildings are getting bombed to fuck what chance of prosperity have you got? Fucking none$Billions of aid has gone in over the years and it either paid for arms or ended up in the bank accounts of the Hamas leadership who are all billionaires living the life in Qatar or Turkey.
Whose fault is that

I suspect more people with brown or black skin have been given asylum than Ukrainians, it's a stupid argument to posit.

For many years peace in NI looked impossible. This is an even greater challenge and it needs good faith from the west and arab world and massive diplomatic effort. The disarming of Hamas and Hezbollah by a 3rd party without massive loss of life seems impossible but I think it’s the only way forward. As you say, what is the alternative.More and more this conflict is brought to our homelands.
Germany nowadays has declared Israel's security and existence as our basic national interest ('Staats-raison')! We are discussing what that means and it goes as far as full support, also military. But it also involves that Israel has to act in a responsible way to find a peaceful solution without risking their own security. It's not a card blanche.
In that debate, Islamist antisemitism is being targeted as a fundamental problem in Germany. We have a very special responsibility but have also nearly 6m Muslims, sadly not integrated to our communities the way they should be but often living in their own world, partly even under their own laws (accepting Sharia alone!).
Difficult times ahead, in many western societies, as I still expect IDF to further fight Hamas in Gaza, especially the tunnel system. All that will be difficult to handle in our homelands.
But as you say, we have to break the extremists' plans. Fighting terrorism in a smart way, with loads of diplomatic efforts in all directions, deescalating where we can. Media have a huge responsibility as well not jumping on any quick head line without any fact check. All that sounds near impossible, but we can just try the best. The alternative would be an extremist and unfree world.
