Facing 17 hard-hitting questions from @ADnl, the largest daily newspaper in the Netherlands, provided a vital opportunity to set the record straight.
I responded with clarity and precision, aiming to dismantle the narrow, one-sided and often distorted narratives that too often dominates local media coverage.
It is time to have a constructive public discourse based on a balanced view and actual facts.
Truth must prevail.

Kunnen we nog enig vertrouwen hebben in de Nederlandse journalistiek? Of is het masker nu definitief gevallen?
Ook journalistenvakbond NVJ gaat zij-aan-zij marcheren met de fans van Hamas. Schaamteloos, doch veelzeggend.

Another glorious day for the @Unimaas One for the history pages.
12(!) Jewish students arranged a meeting with one of their professors. 8(!) security guards were hired to make sure that they were safe, but pro-Palestinian activists threatened violence, and the illustrious @Unimaas decided to cancel the event.
It seems that caving in to threats and shivering with fear in front of every pro-Palestinian student has become a habit in @Unimaas
If it weren't in the Netherlands, but in any other part of the world, we would call it oppression and in this case the oppression of Jewish students.
A true moment of pride for freedom in the Netherlands.

Since arriving in the Netherlands, I’ve heard sooooo much about the importance of “freedom of speech” here. Even when it’s used to justify the failure to protect Jewish students on campuses.
Well, I guess freedom of speech only applies to some here.

Als een tentoonstelling over Joodse geschiedenis in een museum geen doorgang meer kan vinden in Nederland is dat niet alleen triest, maar ook gevaarlijk. Dit raakt aan een steeds breder gedragen gevoel dat Joods leven uit het openbare leven wordt geduwd. Het is daarom van groot belang dat juist deze tentoonstelling alsnog doorgang kan vinden.

🚨Minder dan een uur voor aanvang besloot de Universiteit Maastricht een bijeenkomst van Joodse studenten te annuleren. Ondanks de aanwezigheid van acht beveiligers en zonder duidelijke onderbouwing van de vermeende veiligheidsrisico’s.
Ik ben ontzettend boos dat een kleinschalige bijeenkomst van Joodse studenten vlak voor aanvang, zonder enige juridische grondslag, is gecanceld. En dat de rector weigert om mij te woord te staan, tekent de lafheid van het bestuur.
Met het cancellen van deze lezing beloont en stimuleert de universiteit intimidatie. We zijn hiermee definitief terug in de jaren dertig van de vorige eeuw;
de nieuwe fascisten zijn degenen die zichzelf vandaag de dag anti-fascisten noemen.

Pro-Palestijnse activisten proberen Joodse studenten en professor monddood te maken aan de Universiteit Maastricht.
Met intimidatie en bedreigingen proberen zij de lezing van Eli Sapir vanavond, georganiseerd door twee Joodse studenten, te cancellen.
Steun Sapir en de studenten en kom naar de lezing! Toegang is gratis, aanmelden kan hier: tinyurl.com/3tbywfts

Met je “taskforce” @ministerjenv en je academische vrijheid en vrijheid van expressie @_knaw. Wat gaat er nu gebeuren of blijft het bij een och heden, grutjes, onaanvaardbaar, zeer te betreuren statement?
Maar hey we kunnen altijd nog voor 1 ton per jaar Chanoeka vieren of eem bbc met de landelijke studentenrabbijn zodat Joods leven @DiederikBoomsma op de campus kan bloeien!
Museum Amersfoort has cancelled a planned exhibition marking 300 years of the city’s synagogue, because of “the tensions surrounding the Middle East conflict.”
Yes, you read that right. An exhibition about a *Dutch synagogue*, organized by *Dutch Jews*, was cancelled because of a war thousands of kilometres away.

For those dissapointed that nazi tabloid Der Sturmer is no longer being published, worry no more! Just take a subscription to Trouw. You can find the same poison in this antisemitic rag.
Their obsessive hatred against Israel is so deranged, that even a democratic process is turned into a blood libel.

Trouw, vandaag. Dit mag gewoon.
En ik heb de vrijheid van meningsuiting om te zeggen dat Trouw de ranzigste van de DPG-bierkellers is, waarin de in Nederland altijd al sluimerende Jodenhaat ongehinderd en openlijk geserveerd mag worden. De tap is open.
Goed gedaan.

I feel lucky to be Israeli.
Out of 14m Palestinians in the Middle East, Arab Israelis are the *only* ones that get a vote.
Palestinians in West Bank haven't voted since 2006, stuck under a 90 year old dictator.
Lebanese Palestinians don't even get the citizenship.
Jordanian Palestinians have a.........king.
You may not like this, but the best thing to happen to Palestinians is to live inside Israel.
Eat your heart out.
Wonder what the clown, @nasdaily is feeling right now after Zionists have shed their mask about what they actually feel about "Arab Israelis" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

What kind of misleading headline is this, @VTMNIEUWS?
VTM’s headline claims that “7.5 million Palestinians have no vote” in its coverage of Israel’s elections.
Who exactly is included in that figure?
If it includes 2 million Israeli Arab citizens, the claim is wrong. They have the same voting rights as other Israeli citizens, run for office and serve in the Knesset.
If it includes 5 million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, they generally do not hold Israeli citizenship and therefore do not vote in Israeli national elections. Combining these populations under one sweeping headline misleads viewers.
A reminder: the last Palestinian parliamentary elections were in 2006. President Mahmoud Abbas has now postponed the November 2026 elections until September 2027, despite commitments to international partners. His promise to hold elections was among the commitments underpinning France’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
Recognition went ahead. The elections did not.
A report about democracy should begin by getting the electorate right.

🇮🇱 Hoe werkt de democratie in Israël?
In Israël heeft iedere burger van 18 jaar en ouder stemrecht.
Met hun stem kiezen Israëliërs welke partij zij steunen. De verkiezingsuitslag bepaalt hoe de 120 zetels in de Knesset, het Israëlische parlement, worden verdeeld, welke partijen in het parlement komen en wie een regering kan vormen.
🗳️ Kiesdrempel: 3,25% van de stemmen.
🏛️ Parlementaire meerderheid: 61 van de 120 zetels.

President @Isaac_Herzog received the diplomatic credentials of the new Ambassador of the Netherlands to Israel, Stella Ronner-Grubačić.
President Herzog expressed his deep personal commitment to the historic ties between Israel and the Netherlands and the importance of overcoming current areas of disagreement.
The President emphasized his strong opposition to sanctions and boycotts against Israel, noting that dialogue – especially between friends – is key to bridging divides and working toward a more peaceful future in our region.
President Herzog also reaffirmed the vital importance of combating all forms of antisemitism and of protecting the safety and well-being of the Dutch Jewish community.
