Eerst twee jaar lang een bijdrage leveren aan het platwalsen van Gaza, en nu goede sier willen maken met ‘wederopbouw’. De enige bijdrage die Nederland zou moeten leveren is het optimaal faciliteren van het Internationaal Strafhof om de daders te vervolgen.

Israel's genocidal war on Gaza - two years of hell on earth for Palestinians - could have ended at any time with pressure from the US president. There is no safe and peaceful future without justice, without accountability, without freedom for Palestinians

It found indications of intentions to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group — which it said amount to genocide.

Just two weeks ago, the Committee to Protect Journalists called for Anas Al-Sharif’s protection.
He was subject to repeated Israeli smears that were believed to be the precursor to his assassination.
The IDF have admitted they targeted him tonight. Because they know there will be no repercussions.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage.
But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground.
Is it obvious yet?
