PRO heeft besloten: niet de partij van de Groenen maar van de sociaaldemocraten. De PRO-leden in het Europarlement worden partijgenoot van de Deense MP Mette Frederiksen.

Take note: Francesca Albanese in this interview is not explaining antisemitism; she is completely rewriting its meaning, and in the process distorting the history of the Holocaust. Her remarks reveal astonishing ignorance, and malice. First, Antisemitism was not coined to describe hatred of “Semitic peoples,” or of Middle Easterners whom Europeans regarded as foreign. When Wilhelm Marr introduced the term in 1879, he meant hostility to Jews, expressed it in the racial language of his time. “Semitic” denotes a family of languages. It does not make antisemitism a general category of prejudice that can be reassigned to other peoples. Second, the Nazis likewise targeted Jews as Jews. They did not begin, as Albanese suggests, with a broad campaign against “the non-white, the impure, the non-Christian” that later happened to “crystallize” into hatred of Jews. Her account takes a campaign of extermination directed at Jews and makes its victims sound interchangeable. Third, Albanese's claim about Jews being called “Muslims” as they were taken to the gas chambers is especially grotesque. Primo Levi, who survived Auschwitz, explained that Muselmann was camp slang for “the irreversibly exhausted, worn-out prisoner, close to death.” It described a prisoner’s condition. It did not mean the Nazis regarded Jews as Muslims, or sent them to the gas chambers under that identity. Indeed, Albanese’s theory cannot explain why Hitler welcomed and collaborated with Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem. The two met in Berlin in 1941, and the Nazi regime financed the Mufti’s antisemitic broadcasts to Muslim audiences. The SS enlisted the Mufti to help recruit Bosnian Muslims into its Handschar division. Addressing the division’s imams, he called Nazi Germany their ally and identified “World Jewry” as a common enemy. That is the historical record Albanese’s theory cannot accommodate: Nazi leaders recruited Muslims to their cause while pursuing the extermination of Jews. Criticism of Israeli policy requires none of these falsehoods. Albanese first stretches antisemitism until it ceases to identify hatred of Jews, then claims that invoking it is a device to “silence debate.” Her argument depends on stripping the word of its meaning before dismissing those who use it. This is the same Francesca Albanese who wrote in an open letter to her family priest that America was “subjugated by the Jewish lobby.” Only when later confronted, she called her words “infelicitous, analytically inaccurate and unintendedly offensive.” Yet now she offers a definition under which antisemitism is no longer specifically hatred of Jews. How convenient. These remarks distorting the Holocaust and the meaning of Jew hatred are appalling from anyone. From a United Nations human rights mandate holder, they demand a public answer. We are calling on all UN member states to denounce Albanese’s distortion of antisemitism and the Holocaust. In particular, we are calling on the member nations of the Human Rights Council, including France, the Netherlands, Italy, Czechia, Estonia, Switzerland, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Council must not allow someone speaking under its authority to erase the identity of the Jews murdered by the Nazis.

Is dit echt waar?

Je kunt zo te zien - nu de Nederlandse sociaaldemocratie zichzelf heeft opgeheven - lid worden van de Deense partij van Mette Frederiksen. Je hoeft daarvoor niet de Deense nationaliteit te hebben of er te wonen. Idee? socialdemokratiet.membersite…

Schaamte.

Het @NOS journaal opent met de verminderde acceptatie van homoseksualiteit op scholen en onder jongeren, maar geen woord over de olifant in de kamer, de opvatting van de islam. @PubliekeOmroep

Dik applaus in Berlijn voor de optie zonodig geweld te gebruiken tegen democratisch gekozenen. Beangstigend.

Elke windturbine scheidt tientallen kilogram microplastics af per jaar (zwaar gesubsidieerd want anders niet rendabel). Maar gelukkig zitten in de EU de dopjes verplicht aan de plastic fles vast.

Als de club van Jesse Klaver niet een genocidale anti-Israëlmotie had ingediend, had er nu een meerderheidskabinet gezeten. PvdAGL/PRO heeft dit helemaal aan zichzelf te danken. En ze snappen het nog niet, want vorige week steunden ze wederom een dergelijke motie van DENK.

Check dit! 😂 @jesseklaver zet @jpaternotte keihard in z'n hemd. En totaal terecht! #Apb #TweedeKamer

Schitterend. Nederland mag toch al heel trots zijn op @StudioDrift , Lonneke Gordijn en Ralph Nauta.

Vroeger keken mensen massaal naar de oudejaarsconference en was de cabaretier de stem van het volk. Anno 2026 is het een soort Grachtengordel-orgie, louter voor gelijkgestemden.

Mooi!

Dit is ongeïnformeerde loze praat. Mensen gaan dood aan kanker, alzheimer, hartkwalen, en we doen in de sector ontzettend veel onderzoek naar geneesmiddelen voor die ziekten. Het heeft geen nut zomaar een belofte te lanceren. @jpaternotte

Ontroerend.

In the last few months, my life has changed beyond all compare. I made a decision to support my Jewish friends and without hesitation. I feel anxious almost everywhere I go but I do not regret my decision. I have seen friends that I have helped and supported turn on me without a conversation. It hurts because I know that not only do they know Jewish people but they have benefited hugely from the association with Jews. British Jews have always made London better from Philip Sallon's crazy nightclubs to the brick lane Bagel shop. More importantly and most shocking is that many of these anti Isreal people have zero political instincts. They only care because it has become fashionable to care. I would go as far to say that they are the biggest and most hideous cowardly fakes to walk this earth. Why are people who support their Jewish friends being called to account while these fakes, like Ed Sheeran, Jade and countless others get to pretend to care about a situation they could not comprehend even if they really tried. I support anyone calling for peace. That is what we should all be doing. How can Isreal be an apartheid state when Arabs and Christians live there peacefully and are part of the political system? As for Ed Miliband, clearly we know why he never because Prime Minister and Andy Burnham won't be getting my vote. In life there are people who see what's going on and others who just blindly follow the trends. Remember. Fashions change. Yes. I do mean you! open.spotify.com/track/3Sh2s…
