More on ISrael, the WHO treaty, and the cage sides are being lowered into place as we sit: Links 2 for Oct. 16, 2023

1. Anti-Israel sentiment leads to Berlin official to reluctantly ask Jews to hide their faith

(Let’s parse that headline for a moment. If this was geopolitical, then they would ask Israelis to hide their nationality, not religious affiliation or ethnic. Secondly, the importation of enough rabidly antisemitic muslims into Germany is what caused this. So any lip service to the Jewish people there is every bit as hollow and cynical as it is when Trudeau made his statements in support of Israel, and every other Western nation bent on self destruction through mass immigration. Also, its much less about “Arab roots” than about Islamic doctrine. To which it is still either a hate crime or a near hate crime to speak the truth about Islam.)

Anti-Israel sentiment has led one Berlin official during an interview to reluctantly suggest that Jewish residents hide their faith in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war.

Speaking with the German news site Der Spiegel, integration commissioner Güner Balci placed blame primarily on political leaders who have failed to address anti-Israeli attitudes in favor of “fighting anti-Muslim racism.”

“What happens on a large scale in Neukölln, because we have a significant share of people with Arab roots, exists on a smaller scale in other cities. Political leaders have ignored the problem for decades. Many didn’t think anti-Israeli attitudes were that big of a problem and also weren’t worried about the strengthening of political Islam. Interior Minister Nancy Fraeser of the SPD even dissolved the expert working group addressing political Islam. That clearly shows that the issue is not a priority,” she said.

“I would not advise anybody to make their Jewish faith visible in Neukölln. Those who wear the kippa already faced the prospect of being spat on or insulted in quieter times. As a sign of solidarity, we have raised an Israeli flag in front of the Neukölln City Hall – and have done so under police protection just to be on the safe side,” Balco said.

3. IDF releases video of Hamas gunman storming Israeli homes before he’s taken out

The Israel Defense Forces released footage from the perspective of a Hamas gunman who crossed the border into Israel and shot up homes of innocent civilians before he was taken out by Israeli security forces.

The IDF posted the three-minute clip — which appears to have been filmed by the militant’s body-worn camera — to X on Sunday along with a trigger warning.

“RAW FOOTAGE: Hamas jihadists squad invasion and killing spree of an innocent Israeli community,” the Israeli military captioned the video. “The filmed terrorist was neutralized by Israeli security forces.”

The footage shows heavily armed Hamas terrorists riding on motorized bikes through an opening cut in the border fence separating Gaza and southern Israel.

5. UNDP Releases Digital ID Governance Framework

A robust digital public infrastructure (DPI) has become increasingly crucial for governments, especially when it comes to delivering large-scale, effective public services. For the public sector, the debate isn’t about whether to adopt digital technologies but which ones to embrace and how to ensure their seamless and effective integration. This is particularly true when it comes to digital legal ID, a foundational digital public infrastructure that has the potential to catalyze digital transformation and development opportunities across countries.

Technology and governance must progress in tandem

DPI is made up of digital building blocks, laying the foundation for subsequent innovations. For example, these building blocks may include digital legal ID or digital payment systems that unlock new solutions such as mobile financial services. But like roads and bridges, overhauling an established infrastructure can be daunting. Therefore, it’s imperative to be intentional and meticulous from the outset.
