Zionists are seeking out and targeting paramedics across Lebanon. This should be a top news story, but Western stenographers and diplomats in Beirut are obedient to their overlords. All of these paramedics, along with civilians, were slaughtered in a single attack yesterday.

A parliamentarian from Zelensky's party tells the Financial Times that Ukraine's "radical" ultra-nationalists are a major obstacle to diplomacy and a "danger to democracy": “There will always be a radical segment of Ukrainian society that will call any negotiation capitulation. The far right in Ukraine is growing. The right wing is a danger to democracy.” (Those of us who've long made this same point are reflexively accused of spreading "Russian disinformation.")

Comedian @DougStanhope visited the Azov Brigade. Maybe he has acquired a taste for their famous "Ukrainian humor"?

A member of "Blood and Honour Ukraine" also took part in this @DI_Ukraine operation with the (neo-Nazi) Russian Volunteer Corps. RVC leader "White Rex" lectured B&H🇺🇦 in August, within days of attending the "Nation Europa" conference in Lviv led by Nazis from Azov and @DI_Ukraine

Periodic reminder that there are no Nazis in Ukraine

Brian Windhorst says the NBA media is not in a good place “NBA media right now, we’re not in a great place. Because I think we’re devaluing things … that help build the league up. Like one of the things [is] storytelling. Everything is too short right now. People are too focused on tweets, too focused on guys getting crossed-over, guys getting dunked on, guys getting embarrassed, social media posts. Not as much on storytelling, learning about players and learning their backgrounds, what I call chronicling the season.” (Via bit.ly/4hHQWvJ)

How the fuck is there a hoop on a windmill ?!? 😭😭

Wilders’s rabid pronouncements proved too much even for the right-wing liberal (i.e. conservative) VVD, which in 2004 expelled him from its ranks. He thereafter formed the Party of Freedom (PVV), which is not a political party in the normal sense but rather a personal fiefdom with opaque funding solely and wholly controlled by Wilders.

Among the most hysterical reactions has been that of Dutch strongman Geert Wilders, who although not in government effectively rules The Netherlands. Wilders is of partly Indonesian background, and during his youth was due to his appearance often taunted by racist classmates. Rather than resolving to strive for a society free of racism, he became a peroxide blond and decided that he would defeat his tormenters by becoming the most accomplished racist of them all. A stint working on an Israeli kibbutz, where he was treated no differently than other unpaid labour, also transformed him into a fanatic Zionist and Israel flunkie. He for example continues to insist Jordan is Palestine, and has been a vociferous genocide cheerleader from the moment is commenced.

Just as history commenced only on 7 October 2023, @ashatenbroeke notes that the response to the Amsterdam disturbances have simply elided anything and everything that transpired before the end of the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv match. Even by the abysmal standards set by the media during the past year with respect to Palestine, coverage of Amsterdam very successfully plumbed new depths.

@ashatenbroeke At this point Kafka and Alice in Wonderland jointly seized control. In the words of @elydia35, this was “Probably the first time in history we’ve seen world leaders offer their thoughts and prayers to football hooligans”. It is if anything a massive understatement.

The energetic support of the Amsterdam police notwithstanding, the Israeli hooligans discovered that fistfights on the streets of Amsterdam are somewhat more challenging than killing babies in Gaza. A number were beaten up, and five required hospitalization. (All were discharged from hospital the following day).

According to some accounts the response was prepared and organized, according to others it was spontaneous. Most likely there were elements of both. Those who confronted the Israeli hooligans have typically been described as primarily consisting of Dutch Moroccans, with aggrieved taxi drivers prominent among them. More accurately they were primarily youths, consisting of many Amsterdammers of Arab origin but also others.

@ashatenbroeke As the supporters left the stadium, their genocidal racism now intensified by the 5-0 drubbing administered to their club by Ajax, they essentially picked up where they had left off before entering the stadium earlier that evening. This time, their intended victims fought back.

@ashatenbroeke Once inside the stadium, and before the game started, the Israeli supporters observed the minute of silence commemorating the hundreds who recently died in floods in Spain’s Valencia with loud whistles, more racist chanting, and setting off flares.

Simply put, these foreign terrorists – arming themselves with sticks, bicycle chains, and various other implements – rampaged through the center of the Dutch capital, subjecting the city and its residents to a racist reign of terror. In this regard @ashatenbroeke reports that for days before the match, chat groups of pro-Palestinian activists had been warning members not to wear keffiyehs, Palestinian buttons, or other visibly Palestinian items in public because such people were being physically assaulted and spat upon by Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.

Imagining themselves to have the same liberties they are accustomed to in Israel, they began attacking private homes in Amsterdam that had the Palestinian flag on display in solidarity with Gaza; assaulting individuals of Arab appearance, including a number of Dutch-Moroccan taxi drivers; vandalized a number of taxis, completely destroying one; and more generally taunting those within earshot with chants of “We’ll Fuck the Arabs”, “Fuck you Palestine”, “Let the IDF Win to Fuck the Arabs”, and “There is No School in Gaza Because there are No Children Left”.
