A poster from a Berlin restaurant (Feinberg's). It shows "watermelons" with clearly recognizable human faces (oc representing Palestinians) and an Israeli "lion" turning them into smoothies, by (quote:) "shredding, pureeing, and hacking to pieces." That's Germany now.

À nouveau un magnifique IR95 pour Brig sous le soleil ☀️ À Brig, SIX voitures (et une loc) sont rajoutées en queue du train pour absorber tous les skieurs rentrant à la maison ⛷️ Ce qui donne une jolie rame de 383 mètres pour 1193 places assises !
