'A'dam: chauffeurs haalden demonstr. op'
Iets wat ik nog niet wist (mogelijk gemist heb), uit een opinistuk in https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/11/20/the-pogrom-that:
❝
In defiance of a protest ban, on November 10, hundreds of people gathered in Dam Square, including myself, in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
[...]
Some 340 people, including myself, were detained on buses and driven through the city, accompanied by several police vans and motorcycles.
[...]
As we made our way back to the city centre, cars began circling around us and the drivers beckoned for us to get in. They introduced themselves as the Moroccan drivers whose colleague had been attacked by Maccabi fans on November 6. In a heartwarming act of solidarity after hours of police repression, they drove us back to Amsterdam, making sure that we got home safely.

As historian Ilan Pappe predicted in a recent article (https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/the-collapse-of-zionism), “once Israel realises the magnitude of the crisis, it will unleash ferocious and uninhibited force to try to contain it”. The desperate attempt to distort the reality of events in Amsterdam is indicative of this panic, and the willingness of Western leaders and mainstream media to go along with this insanity is unforgivable.

Het verbaast mij nog elke dag hoeveel mensen hun ogen sluiten voor wat Israëliërs hun medemensen aandoen. Helaas ben ik niet zo positief over een snelle kentering als de auteur.
