[IsraelTimes] Iconic arch, lit in the past with countries’ colors after major attacks or catastrophes around world, will now only be used for venue-related symbolism.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Dutch muslim community and political leaders say they fear for the future following anti-Islam Geert Wilder's shock election result.
Dutch party leaders met on Friday to begin the lengthy and difficult process of building a coalition.
The populist and anti-Islam Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) won 37 seats out of 150 on Wednesday, which was well ahead of 25 for a joint Labour/Green ticket and 24 for the conservative People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
The result, which more than doubled his party's previous share, puts Wilders, who is described as the 'Dutch Trump', in a favourable position for upcoming coalition talks as he will have the first go at trying to build a coalition.
But eurosceptic Wilders, who is an advocate for so-called 'Nexit', has already been told by other party leaders that Dutch membership of the European Union is 'non-negotiable'.
While Wilders still faces an uphill battle to form a government and become the next Netherlands leader, his surprise success is the latest in a string of recent political upsets that have seen right-wing populist parties taking significant strides across Europe.
But he has alienated almost all of the other political parties in the Netherlands with his harsh rhetoric.
Wilders' election win led to protests in several cities with Muslim organisations saying they were worried about their treatment under a possible PVV government.
Muhsin Köktas of the Contact Body for Muslims and Government said: 'These election results are shocking for Dutch Muslims.
'We did not expect such a party with a programme that is against the basic principles of the rule of law to be so big.'
Wilders has been a long outspoken critic of Islam, which he describes as a fascist ideology of a 'retarded culture' and a 'backward religion'.
The firebrand politician has also likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf', saying both books should be banned.
He has been under police protection and in 2016 he was convicted of discrimination after calling Moroccans 'scum' at a campaign rally.
Meanwhile, green groups including Greenpeace said they were worried he would gut environmental policies.
But Wilders cannot govern alone and will need to convince at least two or three parties to join him, with VVD and New Social Contract (NSC), a centrist upstart party, the most likely candidates.
They are both largely pro-EU and have both made clear membership is not up for debate, nor is respect for religious freedom and the rule of law, to join in what would be the Netherlands' first far-right-led government.
'As far as I can see, I dare to say this is not going to be the easiest formation we've ever had,' NSC leader Pieter Omtzigt said, adding that remarks he made on election night had been wrongly interpreted as a guarantee he was willing to join a coalition under Wilders.
The Dutch are no strangers to long talks to build a coalition as last time, it took a record-breaking 299 days.
Should Wilders' efforts eventually fail, other parties could try to build a more centrist coalition without him.
New elections are the final option if no coalition deal can be reached.
Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgoz, Rutte's successor at the helm of the VVD, made it clear that she wouldn't rush.
Among smaller parties, the Farmer-Citizen Movement (Boer Burger Beweging BBB) said it would be willing to govern with Wilders. Its seven seats in the lower house of parliament wouldn't be needed for a majority there, but it holds a large number of seats in the Senate, which has the power to block legislation.

Islamic and eco groups say they fear for the Netherlands' future
That's a very self-centered point of view. IMO, the future for the Dutch looks a lot brighter than before the elections.
There's only one thing I'd add: Holland heeds a "Law of Return" - like Israel has, for Afrikaners. Boers understand the Muslim mind and how to deal with it.
[Breitbart] UFC legend Conor McGregor has called for Ireland to rally together and ensure the stabbing of three young children and two adults on Thursday is never repeated.
A five-year-old girl remains in critical condition at a Dublin hospital and a teacher’s aide is in serious condition after the horrific attack, as Breitbart New reported.
A six-year-old girl continues to receive treatment for less serious injuries and another child was discharged overnight. The alleged assailant, who was tackled by witnesses, remains hospitalized in serious condition.
He is yet to be publicly identified and police have not have not yet ruled out any motive, including whether it could be terror-related.
Social media reports indicated the man was Algerian, but that has not been confirmed by the Gardai, as the Irish police are known.
McGregor took to social media outlet X – formerly known as Twitter – to voice his anger at the stabbing, telling his followers “we are not losing any more of our woman and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place.” He said:
Isn’t that something. The absolute picture of weak and feeble. The most divisive of all is the weak man. One of the most horrific crimes this nation ever seen has occurred, we do not care anymore what you sad cases have got to say. In a war you are nothing. We are not backing down, we are only warming up. There will be no backing down until real change is implemented for the safety of our nation. We are not losing any more of our woman and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place. Call it what you want. We do not care. May God help us all. Ireland for victory.
The tweet and comment was in reaction to another X posting that highlighted the presence of a journalist after the attack.
The public took to Dublin’s streets in protest in the hours after the attack.
Police arrested 34 people overnight after up to 500 people attacked shops, set fire to vehicles and turned on crowd control officers equipped with helmets and shields.
Dublin Police Chief Drew Harris attributed the riots to a “hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology.” However, Harris seemed far less willing to list an ideology or motive for the attack.
“I’m not going to speculate any further in respect of a terrorist motive,” Harris said. “Until we’re sure what the motive is, we have to keep an open mind as to why this happened.”
[GEO.TV] Caretaker Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani Friday said that Pakistain is ready to airlift the injured Paleostinians and bring them for treatment, adding this has been conveyed to Jordan and Egypt as well.
The top Pak diplomat made the revelation while responding to a calling attention notice in the Senate. The notice had sought the foreign minister’s briefing on what efforts Pakistain was doing related to Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... to end the atrocities against the Paleostinian people.
The comments from the minister came as the Israel-Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... truce came into effect today after more than a month of bombing in Gaza that killed over 14,000 people including children and women.
The first pause in the 48-day-old war began at 10am PST, involving a comprehensive ceasefire in north and south Gaza, the release of 13 Israeli women and child hostages by the Hamas later in the day and aid to flow into the devastated Paleostinian enclave.
Israel had launched its devastating invasion of Gaza after button men from Hamas burst across the border fence on October 7, killing 1,200 people and seizing about 240 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Hundreds of thousands of Gaza's 2.3 million people have fled their homes to escape the violence, but conditions are becoming more desperate.
"We are already in contact with Jordan and Egypt. We have offered them that Pakistain will be happy to treat these injured Paleostinians in Pakistain," foreign minister Jilani told the upper house. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... he pointed out that they were encountering some problems and working to resolve them as soon as possible.

[Israel Times] Report reveals school in Jenin closed after onslaught to honor ’deaders’ and decry ’Nazi occupation’; students at a Nablus school drew infamous Hamas ...always the voice of sweet reason... paragliders.
Since the brutal Hamas massacres of Israelis on October 7, the atrocities have been celebrated by at least 11 Paleostinian schools, including eight run by the Paleostinian Authority, according to a watchdog’s new report.
The schools "are openly and publicly celebrating the horrors of the October 7 massacre," said the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), adding that "this follows years of hate-teaching in PA schools."
The report also notes one private West Bank school, a UNRWA-run school in the West Bank and a Hamas-run school in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... where students and teachers praised and glorified the devastating October 7 onslaught. In the attack, thousands of murderous Moslems murdered 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, and kidnapped some 240 to the Gaza Strip.
"The international community heavily funds PA education sector civil servants responsible for curriculum development and the operation of schools," the report stated.
IMPACT-se, an organization based in the UK and Israel, monitors education curricula to determine whether they are in compliance with UNESCO standards on peace, tolerance and nonviolence.
In one example provided, the Ya’bad Secondary Boys School in Jenin told parents it would be closed on October 18 "out of respect for the pure blood of our deaders, and to denounce the massacres made by the cowardly Nazi Occupation." The letter also said: "God punish the Jews and those who support them."
Equally vile lessons at other schools in Khan Younis, Bethlehem, Tulkarm, Nablus discussed in the article.
Earlier this month, IMPACT-se released another report showing that several UNRWA staffers praised the attack in social media posts.
It highlights comments by 14 UNRWA members and examines the participation of UNRWA school graduates in terror attacks against Israeli civilians as well as the presence of antisemitic and jihadist content in textbooks used in UNRWA schools.
European nations and institutions have become increasingly critical of incitement in the textbooks of the Paleostinian Authority, which governs parts of the West Bank but not Gazoo. In May, the European Parliament, which is the Union’s legislative branch, called in a resolution on the Paleostinian Authority for a fourth consecutive year to remove hateful elements from its textbooks.
The May resolution was the first time that the Parliament urged the Union’s executive branch, the European Commission, to stop funding the Paleostinian education system unless it removes "all antisemitic references and examples that incite hatred and violence," as the resolution states.
Israel has also lambasted Ramallah for failing to condemn the atrocities of October 7, while also disseminating disinformation, including a false claim earlier this week that Israeli forces were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of partygoers near Kibbutz Re’im during the attack.

[IsraelTimes] Some 103 residents of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip who also hold Russian nationality were evacuated from the Paleostinian enclave and are headed for Moscow on a special flight from Egypt today, Rooters reports, citing Russia’s emergencies ministry.
In a post on Telegram, the ministry said 101 Russian nationals from Gaza arrived in Egypt in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of Russian evacuees to over 750. Some 650 have been flown to Russia, at least half of them children.
[IsraelTimes] Two-hundred trucks of humanitarian aid entered Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... today, Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians COGAT announces.
This is by far the largest number of trucks to enter Gaza since the outbreak of the war and is a fulfillment of Israel’s commitments to allow in 200 trucks of aid for every day of the temporary truce.
US officials told The Times of Israel earlier this week that they didn’t think Israel would be able to abide by this clause due to the limited aid delivery mechanisms currently in place.
"The humanitarian aid trucks contained food, water, shelter equipment and medical supplies only," COGAT says.
The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that 137 of the trucks have been offloaded by UNRWA workers for distribution.
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand liters of fuel and four trucks of gas also crossed into Gaza today, OCHA says.
Hundreds of thousands of people were assisted with food, water, medical supplies and other essential humanitarian items throughout the day, according to OCHA.
"The UN welcomes the release of 24 hostages held in Gaza since October 7 and renews its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages," OCHA says.
