A Deutsche Bank director that left for Meta is "coming home"

"(Renato) Manna joins Deutsche Bank as its head of architecture for the central risk office (CRO) in what he describes as "an evolution of what I was doing earlier." He was previously head of financial risk domain architecture.

He says he was formerly "responsible for the technology strategy and roadmap" of all financial risk functions. His new role also encompasses non-financial risk domains.

He spent a year and a half at Meta, specifically focusing on e-commerce platforms across the Meta suite. Prior to that he spent over a decade in banking, starting at Credit Suisse. He joined Deutsche Bank's London team as a VP in 2016 and became a director in 2020."

When a Constitution Becomes a Decorative Document America’s Latest War, and the Curious Death of Accountability

There is an imperial comedy unfolding before the world — dark enough to be tragedy, absurd enough to be satire. This is, after all, the very “model democracy” United States has spent decades promising to export to humanity — by missile, by occupation, by sanctions, by “shock and awe,” by solemn lectures on liberty delivered from polished podiums standing atop broken nations. This was the sermon preached to Iraq. Imposed on Afghanistan. Invoked amid the destruction of Libya . Entangled in the agony of Syria. Echoed through the devastation of Yemen. The doctrine was always wrapped in noble language: Rule of law. Democratic institutions. Constitutional order. Checks and balances. How magnificent those words sound — right up until power decides they are optional at home. What a remarkable export product: A democracy where Congress yields, courts hesitate, executive power expands, wars begin first and legal arguments arrive later — wrapped in flags, marketed...

The Confession Without Consequence When Empire Admits the Crime… and Funds It Anyway

There are moments in history when power accidentally tells the truth. Not because conscience triumphs. Not because morality suddenly awakens. But because the wreckage becomes too vast to keep describing as “complicated.” That moment arrived when — a pillar of Washington’s foreign policy establishment, veteran diplomat, architect of negotiations, insider to empire’s machinery — uttered words that would once have been politically unthinkable: “ Prime Minister Netanyahu has led us down a road — and we have been part of it — that has, in essence, created a genocide in Gaza that has destabilize d the Middle East.” Read that again. Not they . We. Not Israel alone . We have been part of it. That single phrase — “we have been part of it” — may be one of the most consequential admissions made by a former senior American official in modern Middle Eastern history. For decades, Washington supplied the bombs, shielded the diplomacy, vetoed accountability, framed slaughter as...

When the Readers Move Ahead of the Columnist

There is something quietly seismic happening—not in the corridors of power, not in carefully worded opinion columns, but in the comment sections beneath them. While attempts to diagnose where Israel “lost its way,” the readers seem to be asking a far more unsettling question: What if it didn’t lose its way at all? What if this is the way? For decades, the comforting narrative was simple: the problem was leadership. Replace , and the moral arc would gently correct itself. Peace would again become plausible. Restraint would return. The “real Israel” would re-emerge. But the readers are no longer convinced. They are pointing to something deeper—something less convenient. Not a deviation. A pattern. Not an exception. A structure. Because when policies persist across decades, across governments, across crises—at what point do we stop calling them mistakes and start calling them design? The Quiet Collapse of a Narrative One reader puts it bluntly: Palestinians have alr...

At 78, a Nation at War With Itself

There is a haunting irony in watching a state built on the promise of refuge become trapped in fear of its own reflection. For decades, **** was one of the men entrusted with Israel’s sword — soldier, commander, prime minister, architect of its security doctrine. Not a radical voice. Not an outsider. Not a dissident shouting from the margins. An insider. And when insiders begin speaking the language of alarm, history listens differently . His warning is not that Israel may be destroyed by rockets, tunnels, militias, or regional enemies. His warning is more unsettling: that Israel may survive every external war — and lose itself from within. That is a far more tragic form of defeat. A nation can repel missiles and still watch its institutions hollow out . A nation can dominate battlefields and still become morally exhausted. A nation can claim victory abroad while quietly burying democracy at home . This is the paradox now confronting Israel at 78: militarily formidable, technologic...

“Cutting the Grass” While Uprooting the Roots: The West Bank’s Slow-Motion Annexation

There is a peculiar comfort in familiar phrases. “Security.” “Deterrence.” And, of course, that chillingly casual doctrine: cutting the grass. Popularized within Israeli military discourse to describe periodic operations against groups like Hezbollah or Hamas it suggests something routine. Manageable. Almost… agricultural. But what happens when the “grass” is no longer rockets— but people, homes, olive trees, and entire communities? The Violence No One Can Call “Routine” Anymore According to B'TSlem , the West Bank has witnessed a sharp escalation in both settler violence and state-backed coercive measures since 2023. Their reports document: Systematic forced displacement of Palestinian communities, particularly in Area C Increasing settler attacks , often under military protection or passive observation Destruction of homes, water infrastructure, and agricultural land Meanwhile, reporting from Haaretz —hardly a fringe outlet—has described: Armed settler groups c...
