Geert Wilders unhappy to be out of the media loop ... threatens to blow-up the coalition and go for new general election.

One year ago ...

Dutch "Left" Will Not Be Silenced!

Protest march of nearly one hundred thousand participate in a demonstration against the Dutch (Geert Wilders) lack of action to stop war crimes in Gaza. The end destination will be the Peace Palace, home of the United Nations' World Court ICJ. I participated recently @Malieveld with a still surprising 5,000 demonstrators ... but today ... the LARGEST protest in 20 years.


Excellent distraction for the brutal slaughter by Israel of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank ...

The IDF is in the early stages of permanently occupying what it claims will be 75% of Gaza.  It is Israel's Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem (or so it hopes). It will forcibly expel 1.3-million residents from northern Gaza into three small enclaves in the south.  In one of them, al-Mawasi, 1-million Palestinians will be driven like cattle in a pen; onto a thin strip of beach (see map) with no infrastructure including food, shelter or medical care.

By some dint of magical thinking, the army claims that this will enable it to finally and completely destroy Hamas. At the same time, it claims that the operation will compel the militant group to accede to Israel's demands, including releasing all the remaining hostages.

Israeli hasbara of aid to counter famine

The US-Israeli "humanitarian aid" operation is a laughingstock.  It was devised by Israelis with no expertise in this field.  The government in turn encourage it and presented it to the Americans.  Both parties knew that to circumvent the established international aid groups working in Gaza (UNRWA, World Food Program, UNICEF, etc.) it would have to disguise its origins. So it created a shady foreign "foundation" with opaque finances. The original director of the program, an ex-CIA officer, quit saying its goals were unattainable.  Amont them: that it would feed 1-million Gazans within two weeks.

It has brought in 60 truckloads of aid per day, when 600 are the minimum necessary to sustain normal levels of food, medicine, etc.
