Dutch Complicity: Chants, Cash, and Campus Warfare Against Israel | Times of Israel - 7 May 2025 |
Astonishingly, this reaffirmation occurred even as Maastricht University had already frozen ties with Israeli universities, pending further investigations by a human rights due diligence committee. This clear double standard reveals a disturbing disregard for geopolitical and ethical implications.
A diplomatic answer is needed
Given these troubling developments, Israel should urgently reconsider academic partnerships with Dutch institutions facilitating extremist funding and propaganda. Dutch universities have become echo chambers amplifying Hamas's message--actively participating in Hamas's broader strategic warfare against Israel.
Decisive action would send a clear diplomatic message, compelling Dutch institutions to address their complicity in radicalization. Academic integrity and international security demand immediate action.
This troubling diplomatic stance was further amplified by staff within Veldkamp's ministry openly participating in anti-Israel demonstrations, alongside former diplomats frequently promoting anti-Israel narratives in Dutch media. This institutional alignment significantly influenced public opinion and governmental decisions.
Additionally, on February 12, 2025, an informal lunch meeting took place at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, attended by UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese. The meeting, organized by pro-Palestinian officials within the ministry, sparked significant concern from the Jewish Civil Servants Network, which called on senior officials to prohibit the gathering.
Universities as Frontlines of Extremism
This diplomatic stance is deeply rooted in years of systematic radicalization at Dutch universities. Groups like Free Palestine Maastricht (FPM) have consistently utilized campuses as hubs for propaganda, normalization of extremist rhetoric, and radical chants explicitly endorsing terrorism ...

Poland tells ICJ Israel must lift blockade on life-saving aid, calls deaths from delayed relief 'unacceptable' | AA - 1 May 2025 |
Poland told the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Israel is legally obligated to lift any blockade preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling it "unacceptable" that people are dying while food, medicine, and vital medical supplies are held at the border.
"It is unimaginable that these basic rules are still violated," said Patrycja Grzebyk, representing Poland. "The situation where people die because at the border, food is rotting, medicine is expiring, and vital medical equipment has stopped cannot be accepted ... cannot be understood."
Grzebyk also stressed that hospitals must be respected as sanctuaries in wartime, humanitarian workers and supplies must be protected, and all attacks on them must be investigated.
Poland also emphasized that any blockade that delays or obstructs humanitarian assistance is incompatible with international humanitarian law.
"Any arbitrary blockade can be understood as an obstruction that is unreasonable, unjust, lacking in predictability, or otherwise inappropriate," Lukasz Kulaga, on behalf of Poland, said.
Artur Harazim, also representing Poland, reaffirmed Warsaw's longstanding position supporting a two-state solution as the only path to guarantee Palestinian self-determination and Israel's security.
Very, very late Call for Justice for Palestine .. a post mortem
An historical first high-level meet ... SHAME ON YOU EUROPE
In an emotional and heartfelt speech at the First EU-Palestinian Authority High-Level Dialogue, Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, delivers a powerful message of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Expressing deep concern over the tragic loss of life and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank, she calls for urgent action, condemns the blockade on aid, and reaffirms the EU's unwavering support for a peaceful and just future. With the announcement of a €1.6 billion support package, Kaja Kallas sends a clear message: The EU stands with Palestine, in their struggle for peace, justice, and a brighter tomorrow.
❝These words are a shame for the European Union❞
❝What very good partners? In crime, in genocide and ethnic cleansing?❞

The hypocritical Dutch mickey-mousing around fascism and critism to Israel, after outright support to the warmachine and with a lot of reluctance posing some questions to Israel's insane war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.
Schizophrenic
Inspired by false facts on the horrific attack of 10/7 on Israeli kibbutz. Full Hasbara in the heart of Dutch government.
No coincidence January 11th, 2024 the first presentation @ICJ in The Hague of the genocidal acts by the "most moral armed forces" of the fascist Israel regime. 🤬

The Netherlands pivots on Israel as it asks for EU-Israel trade deal review | EuroNews |
The EU is Israel's largest trading partner, and the Netherlands has previously led initiatives to block discussions on suspending the association agreement.
It is some of the strongest language yet from the Dutch government against its ally, which has so far avoided outright accusing Israel of violating international law
Pressure from aid organisations
The Dutch government had been on the receiving end of mounting pressure from local branches of international aid organisations to take a stronger stance against Israeli violence in Gaza.
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof sat down with representatives of Oxfam Novib, Amnesty International, Pax ☮️ , Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders last month, who had then expressed disappointment at the conversation's outcome.
The pivot by the European Union [where is VDL hanging out] is quite likely an important first step on a move by North Atlantic allies to halt Israel's aggression and back a State of Palestine ... whatever it takes. The travel by President Trump to the Middle East and meet with Arab leaders of the GCC states have demanded a halt to Israel's war on Gaza and settler violence [pogroms] on the West Bank of the Jordan River.
Saudi Arabia was adamant for economic cooperation, Trump needs to pivot and back a State of Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸.
Next time I will demand the position of prime minister ... all by myself with no coalition partners willing to join your insane Islamophobia and love for murder of Palestinians?
