Anti-immigratie-demonstratie Den Haag escaleert, confrontatie met politie
De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.
Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

Some thoughts on the most recent assault on the CHP:
1) As the regime's loyalty test with the CHP fails to achieve the desired outcomes, the CHP leadership is exposed to accelerated and aggrevated forms of domination test.

Riot police have been deployed to the Istanbul headquarters of Turkey's main opposition and roads around the building blocked as party members rally there against a court's suspension of its local leadership in what they see as the 'judiciary being used as a political weapon'.

The unambiguous return of a single-party state to Turkey will coincide with the final end of the party that built its first such state. I have a lot of thoughts about this, one of them being that we’re here mainly because of the CHP’s inability to get out of its own way.

Israël vermoordt prominente journalisten in opmaat naar volledige vernietiging van Gaza-stad - The Rights Forum
‘Stilte is medeplichtigheid’, schreef journalist Anas Al-Sharif voor zijn dood. Dat bericht is aan minister Veldkamp en de meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer gericht. Laat deze laatste boodschap van Al-Sharif er een zijn om nooit te vergeten.

Hij heeft ook scherpe kritiek op de EU: "I heard many statements like: 'We are aware of what’s happening in Turkey,' 'We are following it closely,' and even, 'Turkey is bound by international law.' Apparently not, or we have different interpretations of what being bound by international law means."

This is Youssef al-Labbad. He had just returned to Syria from Germany for only a couple of days. Youssef was detained by internal security forces at the Umayyad Mosque and died in custody. His body was returned to his family with what his wife describes as signs of torture.

14 doden door Israëls uithongering van #Gaza in afgelopen 24u. Sinds @ministerbz.bsky.social Veldkamp positief sprak over een zogenaamde deal voor meer hulp, zijn er *80* mensen omgekomen van de honger. Hij gaf Isr willens en wetens groen licht om nóg meer Palestijnen te doden #medeplichtig
