Maarten van Rossem stated that criticism of Israel was not the same as antisemitism and said that Hans Teeuwen did not make that distinction according to him. He warned that equating the two undermined the fight against actual antisemitism and asked when that awareness would sink in. https://t.co/NJTfD3m8QB #Israël #antisemitisme #vrijheidvanmeningsuiting (translated)

After 250 days under the leadership of Jordi Cruijff at Ajax, it is evident that the millions invested in players such as Caio Henrique and Marcos Leonardo have so far been disappointing, while stars like Julian Brandt and Tolu Arokodare have distinguished themselves positively. #Ajax #JordiCruijff #transferwindow (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt wrote that D66, in his opinion, put pressure on the Renaissanceschool, which is linked to Forum voor Democratie. He pointed out that D66 MP Jan Paternotte had mentioned the school in the House of Representatives because of announced separate curricula for boys and girls, and had called for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had urged for a quick evaluation and possible amendments to the law. Von Kreyfelt also wrote that Jetten had announced on October 9 that he would investigate how to take tougher action against schools, weekend schools, and online channels where, according to Jetten, young people were learning incorrect views about equal rights. The columnist emphasized that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool in this context. He argued that the education inspectorate should investigate what was actually happening at the school and that a political background alone was not evidence of violations. According to him, Paternotte had stated that Article 23 remained intact. Von Kreyfelt wondered whether Jetten wanted to address verifiable violations or tighten general rules because a political competitor was taking advantage of them. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #onderwijs #vrijheid #D66 (translated)

Vala van den Boomen criticized the distinction between people who lost their lives and those who were murdered. She pointed out that Palestinians were also described as killed in the following paragraph and asked why different wording was used for that. Additionally, she asked whether it could only be discussed in the context of that day. According to her, the text should have remained with the first paragraph. #Verlies #Onrecht #Vrede (translated)

Jacques Monasch wrote that the text, in his opinion, made no distinction between a genocidal attack and the subsequent war, and left out torture and rape. He felt that the writer did not understand that the discussion needed to focus on that that day, and stated that this person was not his prime minister. #politiek #mensrechten #genocide (translated)

Bart Schut asked NRC why the newspaper had written that the massacre of October 7 was targeted at settlements in occupied territory. He wondered whether the editorial team did not know the difference between Gaza and the West Bank or was lying intentionally, and referred to a link. https://t.co/F8TsJsJ7Y0 #Gaza #Westbank #Nieuws (translated)

Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that the cabinet discussed biological differences and similarities between bodies, instead of biological differences between men and women. According to him, the cabinet therefore did not recognize any biological differences between men and women and only distinguished between bodies. https://t.co/wllG2b6DwN #biologie #gender #lichamen (translated)

Mastocytosis: what is it? Mastocytosis is a rare condition in which there are too many mast cells present in the body. Mast cells are a normal part of our immune system, but in mastocytosis, they accumulate. They can cause symptoms by releasing substances such as histamine. There are different forms of mastocytosis. The main distinction is between cutaneous and systemic mastocytosis. Cutaneous mastocytosis In cutaneous mastocytosis, the mast cells are mainly located in the skin. This form is most common in children. The skin often shows spots or bumps that can be itchy or change color. Cutaneous mastocytosis usually remains confined to the skin and sometimes resolves on its own over time. Systemic mastocytosis In systemic mastocytosis, the mast cells are not only in the skin but also in organs such as the bone marrow, intestines, or spleen. This form is primarily found in adults. The symptoms can therefore be broader and less clear, making the diagnosis difficult at times. (translated)

Nederlandse Joden helpen de regering Jetten de rel te sussen. Het zou niet gaan om controles van alle Israëli’s, maar slechts om “een groep van 15 Israëli’s”. Ook haast men zich te benadrukken dat niet alle vluchten uit Israël worden gecontroleerd. Maar dat is volledig bezijden het punt. Dat er extra wordt gecontroleerd op vluchten uit Israël is een feit. Evenals dat specifiek wordt gezocht naar de herkomst van Israëlische producten. Het gaat bovendien niet om commerciële handel, maar om reizigers die simpelweg wat producten hebben meegenomen. Het blijft een grof schandaal dat deze buitenproportionele Nederlandse maatregel wordt gehandhaafd, zonder rekening te houden met de verschillende juridische status van de gebieden waar producten vandaan kunnen komen: Judea en Samaria, Jeruzalem en de Golan. Ook binnen Judea en Samaria is die nuance essentieel. De Oslo-akkoorden maken onderscheid tussen Area A, B en C. In Area C heeft Israël onder de bestaande afspraken vergaande bevoegdheden, waaronder op het gebied van planning en bouw. Je kunt niet simpelweg alle producten uit Judea en Samaria over één juridische kam scheren. De ophef hierover is dan ook volkomen begrijpelijk en terecht. Nederland is hier veel te ver doorgeschoten en heeft zich feitelijk uitsluitend op Israël gericht, terwijl vergelijkbare maatregelen tegen landen waar juist mensenrechtenschendingen en/of illegale bezettingen NIET ter discussie staan, waaronder Iran, Turkije, Marokko en China, uitblijven. Dit gaat allang niet meer over een paar producten in een koffer. Het gaat erom dat Nederland Israël aan een uitzonderlijk regime van controle en beperkingen onderwerpt, zonder de relevante juridische verschillen binnen de betreffende gebieden in acht te nemen en hoogstwaarschijnlijk onrechtmatig handelt. En precies dat is de kern van het probleem. Nederland probeert de imago schade te beperken, en spant daarbij de kleine Joodse gemeenschap voor haar karretje. Wat een schande. #Israël #Joden #Nederland

De verouderde financiële gereedschapskist van minister Eelco Heinen belemmert Nederland op lange termijn doordat het huidige boekhoudkundige stelsel niet in staat is om onderscheid te maken tussen consumptie en investeringen, wat leidt tot onduidelijkheid over de besteding van belastinggeld en achterstallig onderhoud. #FinanciëleHernieuwingen #Boekhouding #EconomieNederland
