Trump: “Israel cannot defeat the World 🌍“
Increased isolation of Israel and America played a crucial role … push-back from all Arab States and OIC Islamic group in addition to some courageous nations across the globe in Europe and the Global South.
Great appreciation to all protest movements during the last 24 months.
Except three countries, the leaders of the European Union be DAMNED … VDL as major stumbling block to sanction Israel for genocide.

Gaza celebrates ceasefire after years of destruction and loss
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting live from al-Zawaida, says that while optimism grows after two years of relentless bombardment, the destruction left behind is overwhelming. Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, hospitals and schools destroyed, and families displaced. As captives are expected to be released and Israeli forces withdraw, many Palestinians now face the monumental challenge of rebuilding their lives amid devastation and loss.
THIS WILL NOT END THE GENOCIDAL WAR ON PALESTINIANS
Two Years of Full Complicity with Israel’s Genocide on Palestinians
Frits Barend, a prominent Dutch Mouthpiece of Netanyahu’s Genocide, in role as victim … too many Dutch are complicit in murder of innocents under false arguments, propaganda and disinformation campaigns (Hasbara). Dutch corporate media played a key role in biased reporting during all the days, weeks, months of genocide. No one dared to speak the truth for Palestinians. Abhorrent … also of prominent Labour leader (PvdA) Frans Timmermans. Very disappointing to say the least.
Barend: “Before Oct. 7th, Gaza was a beautiful place for its citizens … similar to the Dutch North Sea coast between Noordwijk and Zandvoort. Even operated public transportation with bus connections.”

Dutch Resistance Against Hate Propaganda – from Amsterdam
Essay: ’Amsterdam is a thoroughly Jewish city, but Amsterdam is also a thoroughly Islamic city’ | Het Parool |
After a week of unrest, Amsterdam is far from lost, despite many politicians in The Hague's favored belief. In doing so, they ignore the city's identity, which is both Jewish and Muslim, writes Parool reporter Tahrim Ramdjan in a personal capacity in this opinion piece. "Now, more than ever, we must hold on to each other."

Since last Friday, it feels like I'm living in a strange city, even though I was born and raised in Amsterdam and have lived here my whole life. This is my safe haven, where I rarely have to justify my background, my skin color, or my Arabic first names.
But in recent days, I read that PVV leader Geert Wilders calls my city the "Gaza of Europe," where "total anarchy" reigns. According to fellow citizen Dilan Yesilgöz (VVD), "poison is being injected into our children " in Amsterdam houses of worship. State Secretary Jurgen Nobel (Integration, VVD) stated that there is a "huge integration problem with Muslim youth."
It's not inferior to the statement made by Pete Hoekstra, former US ambassador to the Netherlands under President Trump, who said in 2016 that "no-go zones" had been created in Dutch neighborhoods by Muslim youth. He was forced to retract this under considerable pressure. But apparently, it's now perfectly normal for our own politicians to say such things.
Outlawed in my own city
I'm one such Muslim youth in Amsterdam. After November 22nd of last year, I didn't expect things to get this bad. At the time, I wrote in this newspaper: "I fear I'll soon be outlawed, just like all my fellow countrymen who don't resemble Wilders's image of the ideal Dutchman. Perhaps 'Party for Freedom' refers to that."

In polls, general election this month the Dutch will vote Geert Wilders (PVV) once again into a majority … this time it will cost Yesilgöz (VVD) half of the present seats in Parliament … she is on the way OUT … thank goodness.
At the time Mark Rutte resigned on fake pretence of immigration issue in July 2023 to pursue his political career at the highest level as NATO Secretary General, I wrote three articles on the new candidate for VVD leadership …
