The lawmaker, who has previously been labelled a Dutch version of Donald Trump, will have to form a coalition government before he can take the reins of power.
And here we see evidence of why proportional voting systems provide a defence against populists and authoritarians by moderating extremes. Wilders is softening his xenophobic rhetoric in order to facilitate compromise. If the UK had PR, Brexit would never have happened.
Israelis will never be brought to justice for war crimes. Israel hides behind the US and UK in the UN Security Council who veto anything that seeks to punish Israel and they also have European Governments like Germany as well as the Western media, lobby groups and think tanks doing their bidding. If there were real world consequences against Israel for murdering children and bombing hospitals I don’t think there would be blowback against Jewish population.
The protests for Palestine in London have been a cross section of the left and centre left. Muslims, Jews, Christians Socialists, liberals. White and black. Young and old. But our politicians and media paint them as pro Hamas hate marches.
I think that there is a concerted effort by right wing Zionist media and politicians to discredit support for Palestine by smearing all protestors as Islamists and anti semites.
This hack works for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies which is a Zionist lobby group. Netanyahu doesnt need Turkey siding with the Palestinians (they’ve already recalled their ambassador) so we’re seeing pro Israel “think tanks” making threats
The US media will ignore this blatant call for ethnic cleansing and paint Israel as the good guys in this. The mask has come off the West’s colonialist support for this racist apartheid state.
At first I hated it. But now I love it. He seems a pillar of strength in a working dad kind of way. She seems like she’s trying really hard to understand what this boring job entails. All around the accoutrements of early 1970s office life in an iconic yet doomed skyscraper. A beautiful moment captured.
Hope this one is less car dominant. It would be good to have more progressive layouts with cycle lanes and low traffic neighborhoods. Not just aping US city blocks, with cars to get anywhere.
Commuting is also a nightmare. Thats 1-2 hours a day of slog to get to an arbitrary location to do a job that I could do at home. Combine this with school drop offs and pick ups and the ability to do life admin during the week instead of cramming it all on a Saturday with everyone else like pre COVID and WFH is a winner.
