Discontent in Katwijk after riots: 'Demonstrators have won'

PVV Rioters Run Wild Attacking a Pro-Palestine Demonstration

Protestant Christian hooligans of opposing clubs [Rijnsburgse Boys and Quick Boys] (PVV electorate)  joined forces as "brown shirts" to attack peaceful pro-Palestine demonstrators in the village of Katwijk.

It's my backyard where I spend my early years post WWII ... know the cultural background very well. Protestants and Catholics lived separate lives, their own bakery, butcher and shops. Didn't cross those lines ... fundamental Christian idiots fighting the wars against Spain and Luther's separation from Rome: Beeldenstorm. Leaving the local grammar school of the village to continue schooling in the nearby city of Leiden - Pietersplein. As we arrived tram station nearby, we were treated on a hail storm of stones and even bricks from a construction site on "het Schuttersveld"... 😊

In 70 years little improvement, just under another disguise.

Iran ready for nuclear deal in return of lifting sanctions | Mehr News |

In Wednesday's interview, Shamkhani expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, often known by the nickname Bibi, could try to derail the process through backchannel lobbying in Washington. 

"If the Americans remove the Bibi effect, they can easily sign the deal," Shamkhani said.

Israel will be increasingly isolated.  It can no longer depend on unlimited US largesse in supplying weapons for its forever wars.  Without US weapons, it becomes considerably more difficult to fight protracted wars as it has in Gaza.  Netanyahu recognized that fact when he said that the country will have to "'detox' from US military aid." 

This in itself comes as a radical shock to Israeli leaders.  Without its powerful superpower ally, it becomes increasingly isolated on the global stage.  It also becomes easier for countries and international bodies to mount challenges to Israel's crimes.  No longer, would they face the considerable opposition and clout of the US.

Clearly, this is a projection of what could happen.  There is no guarantee that future developments will proceed as I outline above.  But it has become much more likely that they will after Trump's massive shift in policy.

Analysis: With US aid set to expire in 2028, talks on a new deal must begin soon; without nearly $4B a year, Israel can't fund key defense systems

Netanyahu privately voicing frustration with Trump's Mideast policies -- report | TOI - 5 May 2025 |

Israel Hayom, Netanyahu's mouthpiece ...

US president says the right things on Iran and Syria but this is not reflected in his actions, PM reportedly complains; premier's office doesn't deny the report

Netanyahu has been concerned with Trump's support for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's efforts to deepen his hold on Syria, though he simultaneously gives Israel permission to operate where it chooses in the country.

During their hastily arranged meeting in Washington in April, Trump praised Erdogan as Netanyahu sat silently next to him in the Oval Office. Erdogan is a leading critic of Israel, and even prayed for Israel's demise in a visit to a mosque during Ramadan.

According to the Washington Post, Trump was angered by Waltz's hawkish position on Iran and coordination with Netanyahu on military options to destroy Tehran's nuclear program, contributing to his dismissal last week.

My comment @TikunOlam ...

👍🏽
A few weeks ago I got a sense something extraordinary was about to happen ...

In Europe there were signs of a slight pivot to "criticize" Israel's actions in Gaza and on the West Bank.

You haven't mentioned the role played by Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Erdogan. He was mentioned by Trump and bij his host and other GCC leaders during the Summit in Riyadh. The Arab leaders recognize the leadership of the Saudi Kingdom which had been steadfast not to enter the so called Abraham Accords unless there was a recognition of Palestinian Statehood.

Ever since 10/7 the GCC states and the OIC have met and aligned themselves for a strong, united stance. US policy makers and Rubio - Vance ran into a solid wall of resistance. Thx to the Republic of China 🇨🇳 and Xi Jinping. Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan too are on board with Saudi leadership.

A containment of the Jewish State of Israel if you will ... chance for Netanyahu to abide bij the letter and spirit of the UN Charter.

Trump's insane sanctions on the ICC and aligned partners in war crimes investigation are starting to bite. They don't murder 12 year old witnesses to IDF war crimes ... do they? 🥲

Israel Hayom, Netanyahu's mouthpiece ...

US president says the right things on Iran and Syria but this is not reflected in his actions, PM reportedly complains; premier's office doesn't deny the report

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been telling associates privately that he is frustrated with US President Donald Trump's Middle East policies, a report said Sunday.

Netanyahu has been concerned with Trump's support for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's efforts to deepen his hold on Syria, Israel Hayom said, though he simultaneously gives Israel permission to operate where it chooses in the country.

During their hastily arranged meeting in Washington in April, Trump praised Erdogan as Netanyahu sat silently next to him in the Oval Office. Erdogan is a leading critic of Israel, and even prayed for Israel's demise in a visit to a mosque during Ramadan.

Netanyahu has also been worried by Trump's decision to open nuclear talks with Iran -- announced in the same White House meeting -- and concessions supposedly made by the Trump administration with little in return.

Sources have told the Reuters news agency that the deal is shaping up to be not significantly different from the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump lambasted and ultimately withdrew from in 2018.
