Xenophobic Dutch Refuse Gaza Kids, Vote Antifa Terror

Hopeless as the effect of Geert Wilders - Ayaan Hirsi Ali - VVD Party - Mark Rutte and the Black Pete extremists destroy the social fabric in historic openness and hospitality to foreigners as tourists and asylum seekers.

Those who vote against providing care for wounded children lose their humanity

This week, the Dutch Parliament voted on a motion to provide medical care in the Netherlands for severely wounded children from Gaza. The PVV bloc of majority leader Geert Wilders (PVV, VVD, JA21, BBB, SGP, and FvD) voted against it, showing that political calculation matters more to them than basic humanity.

The motion was a simple, humanitarian measure, an attempt to ease the unimaginable suffering of innocent children. And yet PVV, VVD, JA21, BBB, SGP, and FvD rejected it. With a single push of a button, these parties demonstrated that for them, geopolitical games, electoral strategies, and cold ideological dogmas outweigh saving children's lives.

,,Das strengste Asylpaket, das es je gab": Die neue Koalition in Den Haag kündigt Migrationswende und sozialpolitische Entlastung an.


There is nothing neutral about such a vote. It is an active choice to deny shelter to children who have been bombed, who have lost their parents, who lie in hospitals without medicine. This is not "tough but fair," it is a denial of basic humanity.

That this happened in the Netherlands - a country that so often prides itself on human rights and the international rule of law - shows how far our politics has drifted from solidarity and compassion. It reveals that the call for militarisation, exclusion, and hardened borders is increasingly placed above the duty to help people in need.

Literal text of the press conference given by Prime Minister Schoof after the Council of Ministers meeting on September 19, 2025

Breedveld: Do you also see a parallel, for example, with what the Trump administration is doing in America by putting left-wing organizations on the terrorist list?

Dick Schoof: Now you're taking some very big steps. First, it starts with the fact that we advised against the motion yesterday. Second, we're now looking at what's even possible. And that means we're exercising a great deal of caution. And that has less to do with an organization's political leanings than with the question of whether it can actually be classified as a terrorist organization and whether it's therefore possible to put it on the terrorist list.

Breedveld: If politics isn't involved, how should we interpret the House of Representatives' request to ban Antifa, to designate it a terrorist organization?

Dick Schoof: As a clear political signal from the House of Representatives that they want this organization, one of course, on the terrorist list, and to ban it, and that they therefore consider it an organization that they are very concerned about, and that is stated explicitly in the motion.
