For my German-speaking friends and colleagues. There is a lot more forthcoming on this topic - in Dutch and English. Stay tuned!
Wie macht die EU ihre Wirtschaftspolitik, Angela Wigger? In der neuen Folge «Weltunordnung» spricht Felix Jaitner mit der Politikwissenschaftlerin über das Konzept der «strategischen Autonomie». Und wie könnten progressive Alternativen dazu aussehen? 👉 rosalux.de/mediathek/media/e…

Wilders verwerpt het internationaal recht en spreekt zijn warme respect uit voor een man die een genocide pleegt. Beste people in the back: de fascisten doen niet stiekem. Ze draaien er niet omheen en verstoppen zich niet. Als iemand je laat wie hij is: geloof hem.
Geert Wilders verklaart Benjamin Netanyahu tot oorlogsheld en wil hem de Nobelprijs toekennen.

Just opened an account on Bluesky, and soon will have left Musk's hellscape of Twitter/X - like hopefully many more. See you all at Bluesky!

Hoogleraar Holocaust geschiedenis Goldberg keurt elk geweld tegen Joden af, maar de rellen in Amsterdam hebben volgens hem „niets te maken met een pogrom”. „Het probleem is de genocide in Gaza.” buff.ly/3YSSWbS

So the Dutch government has now gone against the advice of their own Counterterrorism service and Immigration service and banned Mohammed Khatib from entering the Netherlands. This is scary, a scandal and it needs to be challenged. rtl.nl/nieuws/artikel/547711…

Here is a statement in response to the ban of Mohammed Khatib by the Dutch government. We look forward to welcoming Mohammed to @Radboud_Uni very soon.

Excellent response by Anya Topolski en Alana Osbourne who situate the framing of Khatib as an alleged hate preacher.

Als ze ergens weten hoe het is om te moeten bezuinigen, is het bij de Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen. Op financieel vlak is de faculteit weer op de rit, maar afdelingen betalen daarvoor een hoge prijs. Zij zien veel collega’s vertrekken. voxweb.nl/nieuws/voor-de-bez…

Het lijkt erop dat de universiteiten de nieuwe wind uit Den Haag lijdzaam ondergaan - er worden braafjes al plannen gemaakt om de bezuinigingen vorm te geven. Volgens PH neutraal is het echter tijd voor stakingen en bezettingen. voxweb.nl/columns/het-is-tij…

This year many have felt exceptionally betrayed by Int'l Law. Yet the problem is not with the Law, but with the lack of political will to enforce it. Western government actions are now massively challenged especially by transnational alliances of civil society across the globe, in an attempt to restore the primacy of Intl Law, Justice & Humanity.
(1/4 🧵)🚨 BREAKING 🚨 We are suing the Dutch state for failing to prevent genocide in #Gaza and to uphold international law. Learn about our demands in this thread ⬇️ and read more about the case here: ↩️ bit.ly/3Y0MWO3

(2/4 🧵) Despite numerous international warnings and rulings, the Dutch government has failed to act. With no signs of change and even closer ties to Israel under the new government, we've decided to take legal action!
