The more I reflect on what happened in Amsterdam the stranger it seems. A racist team who have a reputation for hate speech come to Amsterdam during a genocide and engage in acts of racism and violence against the local population. They are accompanied by Mossad agents. All this happens under the increased success of Islamophobic Geert Wilders and the PVV. The media, not just in the Netherlands but in Europe and North America publish what looks like an Israeli press release using incendiary language about pogroms and Kristelnacht. Politicians around the world immediately and uncritically embraced this rhetoric and say nothing of pro-genocidal chants. They media mislabel on the ground journalism by Dutch photographer @iAnnetnl to minimise Israeli violence. They ignore evidence from other Dutch journalists like @OmeBender. Channels like Sky News even re-edit packages to maximise the narrative of antisemitism and minimise examples of anti-Arab racism. Dutch parliamentarians then wield propaganda by the Israeli diaspora affairs as if it constitutes evidence. Many media outlets still haven't corrected the record about what happened, from the BBC to WSJ and Sky. It's disturbing and sinister, and shouldn't be allowed to slide.

This is on Biden, Sunak, Macron, Starmer, Trudeau, and the rest. Shameful.

SOLIDARITY: President Biden Meets With Traumatised Maccabi Tel Aviv Fans At White House

Netherlands-based Anti Zionist Jewish Collective Erev Rav condemn violent actions of Maccabi fans, the one-sided media coverage, & the selective policing by Dutch police. They cancel Kristelnacht commemoration, in part due to presence of Zionist Israelis with violent intentions

We are deeply saddened by the death of Anna Lo. A humanist and supporter of @NIhumanists, Anna was a trailblazing member of the Northern Ireland Assembly who broke new ground as the first Chinese parliamentarian in UK history. A true inspiration. She will be sorely missed.

In 2015, the BBC did a feature on religion in Northern Ireland politics
They spoke to every MLA
Only 7 said they had no religion
6 of those 7 asked not to be named
Who was number 7? That was Anna Lo, a resolute champion of humanist values in politics

Until tonight I was not aware that there is a popular singer called Celeste.
Until tonight, 5 lovely women from Liverpool weren't aware that there is a French avant-garde post-hardcore, post-black metal band called Celeste.
Sadly for them I was not the one at the wrong gig.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.
