"Israeli-born Dutch politician calls for violence worse than Gaza against Palestinians
Gidi Markuszower said Palestinians seeking asylum in Netherlands should face 'more force than where they came from'

An Israeli-born right-wing Dutch lawmaker has called for the government to stop Palestinian refugees from entering the country "with more force than where they came from", prompting a complaint over incitement to violence.

Gidi Markuszower made the comments in a recent video interview with the media platform Left Laser.

Talking about Palestinian refugees, he repeatedly stated that they needed to be stopped from entering the country "with force".

"With force, maybe with even more force than what they fled from. They need to be stopped with force by the Netherlands and all of Europe," he said.

Asked whether that means stopping Palestinians "with more violence than Israel is currently using", he responded: "If necessary, with force.""

"Trapped by Mobs on Jerusalem Day: Far-right Jewish Rage Didn't Spare Journalists

I thought I was just caught in the crossfire, but hadn't realized that I, wearing my press card, was also a target. When police finally arrived, it was to push reporters away rather than defend us. 'Go, get out of here!' shouted a border policeman as he shoved me

"You need to stop filming, you're hurting Israel's image," a young Haredi man told me in English in Jerusalem's Old City, as Israeli teenagers began to stream in ahead of the annual Jerusalem Day flag march. Beside him, young boys, no older than 12-years-old, tried to cover my phone's camera with their hands and kippot. A group of far-right teens had gathered outside Damascus Gate, the main entrance to the Muslim Quarter, chanting "death to Arabs."

"British Palestinians and Arabs call for 'equal protection' from Starmer
'Our marches in London are not spaces of hate; they are spaces of shared humanity', letter to UK prime minister reads
Prominent British Palestinians and Arabs have told Prime Minister Keir Starmer “our marches in London are not spaces of hate”, as they call for “equal protection” ahead of events marking the 78th anniversary of the Nakba on Saturday.

The Nakba 78 march for Palestine will take place in London on Saturday, with a far-right “Unite the Kingdom” rally led by Tommy Robinson planned for the same time.

London’s Metropolitan Police has warned that it is preparing for violence and has drafted in more than 4,000 officers for the events.

In a letter, the group of British figures from Palestinian and wider Arab communities called on Starmer to provide “equal protection” during the demonstrations.

They warned of a “growing sense of fear and anxiety” among British Arabs and Palestinians, some of whom feel as though equal attention is not being provided to the safety and security of their communities."

Another big win for Nigel Farage. Brexit didn’t exactly restore the British empire (to put it mildly), so how he still manages to get so many votes is beyond me…

This cartoon is from way back in 2014, but as with so many cartoons these days, I can simply recycle it.
