Hier snap ik dus echt geen snars van! Bontenbal noemt de toeslagenaffaire als voorbeeld, waar ambtenaren beter hun tijd aankunnen besteden dan aan de Woo. Terwijl die affaire juist aan het licht is gekomen via de Wob! Dit is echt de omgekeerde wereld.

#OtD 2 Dec 1914 German anarchist Rudolf Rocker was arrested and interned as an enemy alien in England. This happened shortly after he made statements against World War I in the Yiddish Arbeter Fraint (Workers' Friend) paper https://t.co/OJUxDTlJMX

At settlers’ bidding, Israel arrests a prominent Palestinian activist: relatives say the detention of Ayman Ghrayeb, known for documenting forcible displacement across the West Bank, is intended to quell his activism.

Ik had geen idee dat bij een geallieerd bombardement op Amsterdam op 26 november 1944 tenminste 54 mensen omkwamen. Bedoeling was om de Duitsers te raken maar dat ging dus volledig mis. (Euterpestraat heet sinds 1945 de Gerrit van der Veenstraat).

Erg interessant artikel:

[tineke bennema @tinekebennema]

Duitse Max Planck Instituut stelt het aantal door #Israel gedode burgers in #Gaza bij: niet 70.000 maar meer dan 100.000.
Het toont ook aan dat de levensverwachting voor burgers met 40 tot 50 jaar is gekelderd.
Laat niemand zeggen dat we het niet wisten.

Presentation of an exhibition on Mujeres Libres (Free Women), the anarchist women's organisation. Barcelona, 7 August, 1938. Original photo by Pérez de Rozas. I don't know the colouriser. How their dreams were crushed...

“In basic training [...] we all chanted ‘means, intent and ability. There’s no such thing as ‘means, intent and ability’ in Gaza. It’s just: a suspicion of walking where it’s not allowed. A man aged between 20 and 40.” Soldiers' testimonies from the new ITV (UK) documentary. >>

Memorial to the Jewish volunteers of the International Brigades (IB). It plays with Star of David and the 3-point of the IB. Around 20% (about 7,000) of Brigaders were Jewish. Fossar de la Pedrera, the mass grave of the victims of the Franco regime in Barcelona. Montjüic cemetery

[Nassreddin 🍉 نصر الدين @Nassreddin2002]

RTVE has compiled a database showing all known (mass) graves of victims in the Spanish Civil War & the Franco dictatorship and many of their backstories.

To see the map like this is chilling and reveals how bloody this period was.

An article published by The Times suggested that Iran was making donations to Palestine Action "via proxies".

But it turned out that the story was allegedly planted in the British press by a PR firm working for an Israeli weapons company. Read the full report from @jershcarroll: https://t.co/XrvR8kfB4B
