@sensemolen Deze denkwijze staat zo ver af van wat we gewoon vinden, dat (seculiere) westerlingen zich hier geen voorstelling van kunnen maken, en (dus) denken dat ze dit niet echt zo bedoelen. Idem met Islam, geloof in martelaarschap, paradijs etc. Gevaarlijk.

Germany: Stage 5 Suicidal Empathy

[Maarten Boudry @mboudry]

Frans Timmermans (@F__Timmermans) is one of Europe's leading progressive politicians. He was the architect of the EU Green Deal, First Vice-President of the European Commission, and Dutch Foreign Minister. But what he says here is utterly revolting. It is the crudest form of Holocaust inversion—a trope that the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism identifies as antisemitic.

This is an educated man who speaks seven languages, has traveled the world (including Israel), and has had ample time to read books and reports about the Gaza war since losing the Dutch election and stepping down as party leader. Yet for him to confidently spout this historically illiterate nonsense, equating Israel with the Nazi regime and claiming that what "the Jews" are doing in Gaza is "exactly the same" (!) as the Holocaust, is absolutely grotesque.

This is why, as a progressive, I could never bring myself to vote for someone like Frans Timmermans. I'm very glad he was not elected Prime Minister of the Netherlands, quite apart from my disagreements with him on climate policy.

"In the Middle East, an entire people is currently being exterminated. We watch and remain silent, while the Palestinians are literally being driven into the sea – and worse. The reasoning of the right and the far right in Israel is: we Jews can only survive if the Palestinians are gone. That is exactly the same reasoning as that of the Nazis back then: we – the German people, the Aryan race – can only survive if the Jews are gone. I find that utterly baffling. Something terrible happened to their grandparents and great-grandparents during the Nazi era: the Holocaust, in which they were destroyed, and now they are doing exactly the same thing to another people."

THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN OUR TIME.

You are 25. Or 52, 15, 40, 70…Imagine you get a letter. Report to the train station with one suitcase. You don’t know why. You don’t know where.

This happened to millions of people in Europe just over 80 years ago. Not the Middle Ages. Your great-grandparents’ time. There are still people alive who were there.

This is how it worked. Jews were registered, stripped of their jobs, their homes, their rights.

The neighbors watched. Then came the trains. Cattle cars packed with people, days without water.

On arrival at camps like Auschwitz, a doctor stood on the ramp and pointed. Right or left. Labor or death. The decision took seconds.

The old, the sick, the mothers with small children were sent straight on. They were told they were going to shower. They undressed and folded their clothes neatly, because they believed they would need them again. Then the door was locked, and Zyklon B was dropped through holes in the ceiling.

Death took up to 20 minutes. Afterwards the bodies were burned and the ashes scattered.

Elsewhere it happened without gas chambers. In Eastern Europe, special units drove from town to town. They rounded up the Jews, made them dig their own graves and shot them. Women with infants in their arms. One at a time, all day, day after day. Over a million people were murdered this way. By hand.

Six million Jews in total. One and a half million of them were children.

And here is what you need to understand.

This was not an outbreak of madness. It was planned, budgeted and administered. Engineers designed the crematoria. Rail companies invoiced for the transports - one-way fare, children half price. Ordinary people showed up for work and made it happen.

It did not start with gas chambers. It started with words. With calling a group of people a problem. With jokes, lies and shrugs. By the time the trains were running, it was too late to protest.

That is why this concerns you. Not as history. As a warning. The mechanism is not dead, it is only waiting for new words and new scapegoats.

And why? What had they done?

Nothing. That is the answer.

The Jews were not murdered for anything they had done, but for what they had been turned into. For centuries, conspiracy theories had blamed them for everything: plague, war, economic collapse. The Nazis gathered the lies into one ideology. Jews supposedly controlled the banks and the press, were behind both capitalism and communism, and posed a threat to the people.

All of it fabricated. The victims were doctors, shoemakers, schoolchildren, infants. People who had never harmed anyone.

And now hear the uncomfortable part. The lies did not die in 1945.

The same conspiracies live today. In islamist circles it is openly preached that Jews are apes and pigs to be exterminated. The Hamas charter cites the same forgery the Nazis used.

And in parts of the Western left, the myth is retold in new packaging: Jews described as colonizers, “Zionists” controlling media and politics, Jewish students harassed on campuses in the name of liberation.

The consequences are not theoretical. In 2015, a Jewish guard was shot outside the synagogue in Copenhagen. That same year, four Jews were murdered in a kosher supermarket in Paris. In 2012, an islamist shot three Jewish schoolchildren and a father in Toulouse.

In December 2025, two islamists opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia, murdering 15 people, among them a child and a Holocaust survivor.

Stop at that detail. A Holocaust survivor. Imagine it. You are a child when the world tries to erase you. You survive the age of the gas chambers. You build a life on the other side of the earth, in a country you believed was safe. You grow old. And then, 80 years later, at the end of your life, you are murdered anyway. For the same reason. By the same hatred.

CONTINUES👇🏽

On This Day — July 13, 1942

The Nazis were coming to finish what they started in Europe — and the Jews of the Middle East were next.

On this day, in utmost secrecy, the Reich formed a special SS killing squad — the Walther Rauff Kommando — tasked with organizing the mass murder of Jewish communities in Libya, Egypt, and above all, Mandate Palestine. Twenty-four SS officers and NCOs, led by the inventor of the mobile gas van, were sent to Athens. They were waiting for Rommel’s signal to begin the slaughter.

As Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps blazed across North Africa, terror gripped the Yishuv. The “Desert Fox” had captured Tobruk and was driving toward El Alamein, Alexandria, the Suez Canal, and then Mandatory Palestine. Half a million Jews in Eretz Yisrael and 75,000 in Egypt faced annihilation.

Horrifying reports of Nazi atrocities had already reached them. Arabs marked Jewish homes with chalk, openly fighting over who would claim which property once Rommel arrived. The Mufti of Jerusalem had begged Hitler for an Arab legion to join the extermination. Berlin counted on local Arab support — and they were right.

Families gathered in fear. One father told his young son the Germans were coming and Arabs were preparing knives as a “gift.” A woman recalled looking at the sky and thinking how bitter it would be to leave this world so young.

But the slaughter never came.

At El Alamein, British and Allied forces stopped Rommel cold in one of the most decisive turning points of the war. The planned Einsatzkommando deployment never happened. The Jews of the Yishuv were spared — by what many called a miracle.

The Nazis had intended to bring the Holocaust to the Middle East.

They were stopped at the desert’s edge.

We remember July 13, 1942, as the day the countdown to another genocide began … and was miraculously interrupted.

Some histories record only one side’s suffering.

The full record shows how close the Jews of the Middle East came to sharing Europe’s fate.

@sensemolen Goed werk, dank je. Lijkt er inderdaad op dat er naar een doel toe geredeneerd is. Momenteel zijn overheidsinstanties elkaar aan het overtoepen met problemen en angsten.

What Muslims did to Yazidis in Iraq was so much worse than what is happening in Gaza.

Elderly women buried alive for being too old to be sex slaves.

Mothers forced to eat their own babies.

Young girls locked in iron cages and burned to death.

Yet not a single protest! Everyone who’s now protesting for Gaza was completely silent. Why is that?

Unlike the people of Gaza, the Yazidis never started a war!

"The greatest lie of our time". Indeed, no other is even close. It was also the greatest lie of many other times: the lie of the bloodthirsty, malevolent, scheming, mendacious Jew. Its mysterious, inchoate spite has crystallised into many libels over the millennia.

@Verkoulen ...eerst loonbelasting omlaag, en financieren vanuit hogere erfbelasting op vermogens van zeg boven de miljoen.

@Verkoulen ..een beetje zodat hele rijke mensen niet steeds verder weglopen van de rest. Probleem is dat het gezien wordt, en dat kan ik me goed voorstellen, als weer een extra belasting voor mensen die hun best doen, sparen, investeren etc. Je zou het dus om moeten draaien...

[sige @sigeVCinvest]

@parlementor Precies. Uiteindelijk gaat het erom dat de staat belastinginkomsten moet hebben (hoeveel is een andere discussie) en hoe krijg je dat binnen op zo'n manier dat je "goed gedrag" stimuleert. Overigens is er wel een praktisch probleem. Hoe rijker hoe meer loopholes.
