Blijft nodig dit te herhalen: 55.000 is echt een absolute minimumschatting van het aantal doden. Dit dekt vooral mensen die bij naam en toenaam gekend zijn en niet de mensen die van honger of dorst omkomen.

Ik ben hier natuurlijk veel te laat mee maar dat het Parool niet de banden heeft verbroken met Holman nadat hij verklaarde zich "verwant" te voelen met Anders Breivik, die 69 kinderen en acht anderen vermoordde, blijft een schande.

Rode lijn acties om genocide in Gaza te stoppen. Na 1,5 jaar vroeg kabinet om ‘onderzoek’. EU-onderzoek: Israël volledig over de schreef. Toch trekt kabinet geen enkele consequentie. Diep teleurstellend hoe coalitie meewerkt aan straffeloosheid van Netanyahu’s misdaden.

This clownish statement by the leader of the European Union will represent an indelebile stain in the history of the continent going forward. Why is it that we have the worst political leaders at a time when we need good leadership the most?

Excuseer, maar in alle ernst zeggen dat jouw 'bestaansrecht' wordt aangetast door hoe er *gesproken* wordt over Israëls handelen in Gaza zonder het voortdurend beëindigen van het leven, het 'bestaan' als zodanig, van Palestijnen door moord en honger door datzelfde land te erkennen...verbijsterend.

What Israel and the U.S. are doing is unlikely to ever end up on an international law exam because it is so obviously an illegal act of aggression that there is not even a question you can make out of this

How many people will die because two corrupt men are trying to stay out of jail?

It feels as if the rules-based order is being put to burial. A terrible mistake that would leave Europe worse off. All because of weak leaders who appear relieved they have a pretext to ignore the Gaza genocide.

So the only remaining anti Ukraine support argument here is “we don’t want to”

Amazing news. Until recently, it was even unclear if he was alive.
