"Two Deputy PMs in last Dutch gov’t wanted headscarves declared as hindering emancipation
Two deputy Prime Ministers from the Schoof I Cabinet tried to have headscarves declared as an obstacle to women’s emancipation. Civil servants managed to stop this, Investico reported based on over 600 emails and several text messages received through the Open Government Act.
Then-Deputy Prime Ministers Fleur Agema (PVV) and Mona Keijzer (BBB) wanted a parliamentary letter on emancipation from November 2024 to include headscarves as an obstacle to women’s emancipation.
At Agema and Keijzer’s insistence, the draft letter included the sentence: “People who no longer dare to be visible out of fear of the reactions of Islamic men.” Civil servants at the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science opposed that and several other of the Ministers’ suggestions."

Israel, President Herzog’s indictment: “Terrible brutalization of society”
The red line of brutality has been crossed. In the West Bank, regarding the treatment of activists from the Global Flotilla Mudge. On Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog delivered a very harsh speech to condemn what he called a “terrible process of brutalization” of Israeli society, particularly referring to the violence perpetrated by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank and the treatment of prisoners in the country’s jails. Herzog’s speech accompanied the presentation of the Jerusalem Unity Prize, an award intended to promote mutual respect, unity, tolerance, and social harmony.
Herzog said that in Israel, there is “a wave of terrible violence carried out by a chaotic mob, with acts that contravene all legality, morality or Jewish norms.” He added that some parts of Israeli society not only have normalized violence but “celebrate and proudly claim it.” “We must not tolerate the brutality that comes from the margins of our society and that threatens all of us.” In his speech, Herzog made direct references to the violence of settlers in the West Bank, stating that Israeli security forces spend “the greater part of their time” managing the violence of Jewish extremists. In reality, the army often does nothing to prevent this kind of violence, aligning itself in virtually all situations with the settlers, and in many cases participating directly in attacks against Palestinians. The Netanyahu government has consistently downplayed the problem, describing it as, for example, a situation created “by groups of children,” and has supported the creation of many new settlements, considered illegal under international law.
Herzog also spoke of “humiliating and reprehensible behavior by extremists towards Christians and Muslims and their symbols.” This was interpreted as a reference to recent incidents in which Israeli soldiers destroyed crucifixes in Lebanon and an attack on a nun in Jerusalem. Another topic of the speech was the treatment of detainees. Herzog reiterated that it is “forbidden to mistreat them.” “We are witnessing barbaric acts committed by a handful of people who believe that detainees, suspects, or those under investigation have no rights.” In this case, the main recipient of the message was National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. On Wednesday, a video of him walking with hostile and contemptuous gestures towards the activists of the Global Flotilla Mudge, tied and lying face down in the port of Ashdod in Israel, provoked widespread criticism. Ben-Gvir’s ministry is also responsible for Israeli prisons, where there have been complaints of systematic abuse, deprivation, and violence, even sexual, against Palestinians. How did Ben-Gvir react? Ben-Gvir, demanding Herzog’s resignation, arguing that “anyone who defines hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens as brutes is not fit to hold the office” of president.
