Yesterday 250.000 people assembled in Amsterdam to protest the complicity of the Dutch government with the genocide in Gaza. This amounts to 1.4% of the country's entire population. We were there to show our solidarity with the Palestinians, but this massive turn-out also conveys something else.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

De Nederlandse televisie is door en door verrechts en verslaafd aan demagogie. Dat de Partij voor de Dieren systematisch genegeerd wordt, terwijl de rode loper wordt uitgerold voor kleine extreemrechtse en conservatieve partijtjes, is een grote schande.

Israel’s interception of the Gaza aid flotilla is a clear violation of international law Flotilla organisers say the Israeli military boarded their ships in international waters, where they have the right to freedom of navigation.

Israel breaks international law - what's new?
