NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

Israël pleegt genocide in Gaza. De Nederlandse regering blijft het land daarbij steunen. Waarom? En wat zijn de gevolgen – voor de Palestijnen, moreel, politiek – van deze genocide, die zich voltrekt voor het oog van de wereld?
