He argued that international law protected civilians, even if they were Israeli or Zionist, and even on October 7. #SlachtofferBlaming #InternationaalRecht #BurgersBlevenBurgers (translated)

She argued that cuts in elderly care kept people at home and that they now also had to pay for domestic help themselves.
