Five times ICANN deleted a ccTLD, and what it means for .io - Domain Incite
With the future of .io coming into question this week, with the news that the UK will return sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius, I thought it would be a good time to see how ICANN has treated disappearing countries and territories in the past. As far as I can tell, ccTLDs
Cutting through misperceptions and historical inaccuracies, Zoe Baker shows how the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a specific theoretical frameworkâa theory of practice. The consistent and coherent heart of anarchism, Baker shows, is the understanding that, as people engage in activityâpolitical or otherwiseâthey simultaneously change the world and themselves.
Attached: 1 image Did Zionists collaborate with Nazis? Yes, they did. In one example, the Haavara Agreement between Nazi Germany and German Zionists (1933), made possible the migration of 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 and to bring with them a portion of their assets. Widespread persecution of the Jews had already begun in Germany by 1933. The mass migration was considered part of the ethnic cleansing the Nazis initiated against the Jews, but it also benefited the Yishuv (Jewish community under the British Mandatory Palestine) by bringing in needed immigrant labor and economic support, and increasing the numbers of Jews living there. It also saved the lives of thousands of Jews who would have likely been slaughtered in the concentration camps. Then there was Rudolph Vrba, who escaped from Auschwitz in 1944, along with Alfred Wetzler, and tried to warn the Hungarian Jewry of the Nazisâ plans to exterminate the last major surviving Jewish community in Europe. The Vrba-Wetzler Report (the VWR) that they wrote immediately after their escape revealed for the first time to the general public that Auschwitz was not, as was widely believed, simply a concentration and labor camp, but a death camp. The VWR was also so accurately detailed that it could be used to help liberate the camp. However, Vrba and Wetlzer were betrayed by European leaders of the Zionist movement, who silenced them and suppressed the report, putting at risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews in exchange for the hope of getting Nazi support for the continued transfer of Zionists to Palestine. In 1961, The Daily Herald published the following from Vrbaâs memoir: âI am a Jew. In spite of that, indeed because of that, I accuse certain Jewish leaders of one of the most ghastly deeds of the war. This small group of quislings knew what was happening to their brethren in Hitlerâs gas chambers and bought their own lives with the price of silence ⌠I was able to give Hungarian Zionist leaders three weeksâ notice that Eichmann planned to send a million of their Jews to his gas chambers ⌠Kasztner [leader of Hungaryâs Zionist movement] went to Eichmann and told him, âI know of your plans; spare some Jews of my choice and I shall keep quiet.ââ #nazis #antisemitism #holocaust #zionism #palestine #israel #genocide #concentrationcamps #ruldophvrba #eichmann #hungary #auschwitz #hitler
We reject antisemitism in all its forms, including when it masquerades as criticism of Zionism or Israelâs policies. We also recognize that, as journalist Peter Beinart wrote in 2019, âAnti-Zionism is not inherently antisemiticâand claiming it is uses Jewish suffering to erase Palestinian experience.â
