Did the Nazis Kill Five Million Non-Jews?
Five million is frequently cited as the number of non-Jews killed by the Nazis. The figure is inaccurate and was apparently an invention of famed Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal. According to historian Deborah Lipstadt, he began to refer to “eleven million victims” of the Holocaust, six million Jews and five million non-Jews in the 1970s. Wiesenthal later admitted making up the figure to promote interest in the Holocaust among non-Jews. Lipstadt, says “he chose five million because it was almost, but not quite, as large as six million.”

Will Trump’s Peace Plan Matter?
and
Trump’s Impossibly Pragmatic Peace Plan
by Dr. Mitchell Bard
Almost every US administration has come up with a peace plan, and they all have one thing in common — failure. The Trump plan will suffer the same fate. Still, it may be valuable by setting new baselines for negotiations that are in Israel’s favor.

Why will the plan fail?


The peace plan released by the president is the most sensible ever devised — and, simultaneously, the least sensible. Jared Kushner was right about two things: First, that all previous paradigms for pursuing peace failed; and second, that his team adopted a dramatically new one. As expected, a great hue and cry came from the Palestinians, the antisemites, Israel’s critics, the Arab lobby, the failed peace processors, many liberal Jews, and Democratic presidential candidates. We are also hearing the usual specious doomsday predictions of a new intifada and the Arab/Muslim world erupting.

Peace to Prosperity -- The Trump Peace Plan
Approximately 97% of Israelis in the West Bank will be incorporated into contiguous Israeli territory, and approximately 97% of Palestinians in the West Bank will be incorporated into contiguous Palestinian territory. Land swaps will provide the State of Palestine with land reasonably comparable in size to the territory of pre-1967 West Bank and Gaza.

J’Accuse...! (I Accuse)
Émile Zola, an influential French novelist, wrote an open letter to Félix Faure, President of the French Republic accusing the government of anti-Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair. It was published January 13, 1898, on the front page of the Paris daily, L’Aurore.

EGMONT Institute: Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood

  Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood By  Sven Biscop   (15 September 2020)   In   Commentaries Asia-Pacific ,   EU and strategic partners ,   EU strategy and foreign policy ,   European defence / NATO To strengthen multilateralism in their own neighbourhood, Germany and the EU should pursue connectivity strategies with their Eastern and Southern neighbours. These could create the links between the EU’s neighbours that  previous partnership agreements have failed to establish. They should include political and security dimensions for states to feel connected to  the EU in a political sense.
