Bart Nijman wrote that Dutch media in 2015 portrayed participants in the Ukrainian referendum, including GeenPeil, as antidemocratic and pro-Putin. Nevertheless, he called the referendum a great success. In 2017, according to him, newspapers and parts of the NPO tried to boycott GeenStijl but were unsuccessful. He also accused the media of labeling critics of Greta Thunberg as climate deniers in 2019 and of presenting support for Black Lives Matter as a civic duty in 2020, while according to him, Zwarte Piet was pressured with unfounded accusations of racism. During the coronavirus pandemic, according to Nijman, the media shielded criticism of the measures and labeled those who deviated as irrational. He argued that this permanently damaged the credibility of the press and trust in its fairness and objectivity. From 2021, he stated that media opposed the farmers' movement with reporting on nitrogen that journalists did not understand sufficiently, and starting in 2022, labeled critics of Ukrainian accession to the EU or NATO's contribution to the escalation as pro-Putin. Nijman wrote that after October 7, 2023, many media condemned Israel and Jews in general and based reporting on genocide and starvation on lies. According to him, the media concealed the reasons for Hamas' attack and subordinated facts to information from NGOs, including Oxfam. He also claimed that journalists who disagreed were not offering enough public dissent, partly because they had to save for a mandatory heat pump in 2028. Furthermore, Nijman accused the media of shifting their own problems onto disinformation and Elon Musk and of leaving X for their own, small online environment. According to him, DPG, RTL, and the NPO imposed standards that many Dutch people did not conform to. He wrote that readers should hate the mainstream media even more and asserted that the free press had again chosen the wrong side on October 7. #Media #Nederland #VrijePers (translated)

Bart Nijman wrote that October 7 was a terrible day that reminded of the horrors of Black Saturday. According to him, that day showed how little it took to strip away the thin veneer of the Netherlands, from the press to the prime minister. He added that the day just didn't seem to come to an end. #herinnering #Nederland #geschiedenis (translated)

Caroline van der Plas wrote that she reflected on the hostages, victims, and relatives of what she described as murder, rape, and torture practices by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Irene Butter (1930-2026), a German-Jewish Holocaust survivor, only started sharing her terrible experiences in the concentration camps later in life, driven by a sense of responsibility to keep the memories alive, and passed away at the age of 95 after a life dedicated to spreading knowledge about the Holocaust. #Holocaust #IreneButter #historieschrijven (translated)

Symphony wrote that he was 63 on paper, but depending on the situation, sometimes felt 37, 25, or even 104. He also claimed that he could suddenly take on the age of 14 again out of anger. According to Symphony, someone carries all previous versions of themselves: from the amazed child and the love-struck boy to the older person who knew how precious time was. A song from the 80s could bring that person back to the summer when they were 17, with friends in a field and the feeling that the future was still endlessly far away. Symphony wrote that the boy had never completely disappeared and that getting older might mean carrying more and more lives with you. An old song could make that person feel 17 again, if only for three minutes — but now with the realization of how special that time was. #ouderworden #herinneringen #tijd (translated)

Maaike van Charante wrote that the woman would certainly get away with it, according to her. She doubted the explanation that the woman did not know that the flags had been placed in memory of October 7 and that only one flag had fallen. Van Charante added that the woman was leftist, Palestinian, and anti-Israeli, and thus, according to her, met the right criteria. https://t.co/FuAO2pTQxd #Politiek #Discussie #Mening (translated)

Piet Grasspriet reminisced about his youth, including Sinterklaas, Christmas, light evening, disco, beer for 1 guilder, happy hour, and smoking in cafes. He also mentioned candy that was known by a racist name at the time and said that people had more freedom back then, in his opinion. Regarding what the next generation would look back on, he mentioned what he described as anti-social fat bike users, soot-smeared Piet figures, knife fights, transgender day, thick sweater day, climate activists who glued themselves, veggie burgers, and boys with nail polish. He sarcastically characterized this as the ideal that was being pursued. #jeugd #herinneringen #cultuur (translated)

Mariana wrote that her version of 'We Will Dance Again' would be played the next morning at 04:20 on Boy George FM, at 06:20 in Israel.

She also urged not to forget them. #WeWillDanceAgain #NooitVergeten #Herinnering (translated)

During a demonstration of the Kremlin-aligned Communist Party in Moscow on Sunday, about sixty people were arrested as the protesters recalled the parliamentary uprising of 1993 and chanted slogans such as 'Freedom for political prisoners' and 'For fair elections'. #CommunistischePartij #Oekraïneoorlog #Demonstratie (translated)

Even we, as distant people, as readers, listeners, viewers, still hadn't had enough of Paulien. Not by a long shot. And then to think about how it is for her husband, her child, her friends, loved ones. A sad reality that she is no longer here 🖤 #rouw #verlies #herinnering (translated)

What incredibly sad news. During The Smartest Person, I got to know Paulien both on and off stage as sharp, funny, and incredibly sweet. I cherish the beautiful memories of our conversations and her wonderful sense of language and humor. She was not able to win the battle against cancer, but the impact she has made with her words, stories, and performances lives on. Much strength and love to her family, friends, and everyone who loved her. How she will be missed. #herinneringen #sterkte #kanker (translated)

Ik merk dat deze boycot van producten uit Oost-Jeruzalem en Judea en Samaria me erg bezighoudt en me boos maakt. Juist in die plekken liggen zoveel van onze Joods-christelijke wortels: de Klaagmuur, de watertunnel van Hizkia, de Via Dolorosa, de Stad van David, Gethsemane en de Olijfberg etc En van al die plekken mag je als bezoeker geen enkele herinnering meer mee naar Nederland mogen nemen. Geen souvenir, geen boek, geen religieus voorwerp. Wat overblijft zijn de foto’s. Het is veel meer dan een economische boycot, want het raakt nog veel meer geschiedenis en geloof. #OostJeruzalem #JoodsChristelijk #Boycot
