[Article of Peter Storm]/Racist tide in the Netherlands encounters opposition
Wednesday, 6 januari 2016
This article was written for Doorbraak, where it is published already in an illustrated version and with even more hyperlinks. It is also a blog piece on Libcom. By the way, happy and subversive new year to all of you 
The Netherlands is experiencing a wave of racist, sometimes openly violent, actions and street mobilizations, mainly against refugees and the sheltering of refugees. Street mobilizations of an intimidatory character have occured where municipal councils debate whether to establish an AZC (Asielzoekerscentrum, centre for asylum seekers) or an emergency refugee shelter in their city or town. Small scale violence against houses where refugees live occur repeatedly. Meanwhile, official politics talks about the issue of refugees in a way that portrays them, not als people trying to escape the horrors of war and persecution, but mainly as ‘fortune-hunters’ who only come to the Netherlands to find jobs and social security.

RACISM IN DIMONA
TO THE MAYOR OF ANDERNACH
MR A HUTTEN
Subject:
The alliance between your city Andernach and the Israeli city
Dimona
Dear Mr Hutten,
I’ve recently learnt, that your city, Andernach and the Israeli city Dimona
are twin cities since 1975. [1]
Not only Dimona, with its nuclear Research Centre, is a threat to peace and
humanity [2], there is a horrendous racism, reason enough
for you to break all ties immediately.
To that racism I refer later.
First this:
ISRAELI OCCUPATION, OPPRESSION AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
Dimona, as a city is not only part of the Israeli occupation State,
but by its nuclear involvement also an destructive military guardian
of the occupation.
Occupation State Israel is systematically violating the rights of the
occupied Palestinians.
The list is long, but here some horrible examples:

NO SEA TOO HIGH
The shamelessness of some initiatives to promote the Israeli
occupation power knows no limits.
The following is nearly hilaric, were t not so horrible
Recently (at 13th august), a joint project of the Paris and
Tel Aviv municipal governments, organised ´´Tel Aviv
Sur Seine´´
For a few hours on 13 August, a section of river bank in the French capital near the Pont d’Arcole will be turned into “Tel Aviv sur Seine” (Tel Aviv on the Seine), complete with falafel stands and “Israeli nightlife.” ¨(1)
Isn´t it cosy.
Tel Aviv sur Seine will be held at ´´Paris Plage´´
, a simulated beach the city sets up in the summer. (2)
Lionel Choukroun, director of Agence Culturelle, the company that is producing the event, says the idea is “to give Parisians and tourists the Tel Aviv experience without having to go anywhere.” (3)

HIS ´´TESTIMONY´´ REGARDING HIS CRIMES DURING HIS
DICTATORSHIP, HIRA PLUNGES IN SWAMPS AND WHIRLPOOLS
OF SINISTER CONSPIRATIONS, DECEIT AND POLITICAL GANGSTERISM
[Suriname is a country on the north eastern
coast of South America.
It is a former colony of the Netherlands and also called
”Dutch Guyana”
In this comment I will concentrate on the human rights
violations and ¨(war) crimes, committed during the
Surinamese military dictatorship (1980-1987),
the short lived trial of one of the worst crimes, the frustration
of this trial and moreover
On the proposal of historian, writer and journalist
Sandew Hira (real name Dew Baboeram) to the
the present president D Bouterse, ex dictator and
former chief of the army,
head responsible for the military crimes, to make
a ´´testimony´´ on the military crimes.
Without trial.
Just like that.
Because I consider this as a serious travesty of
Justice, I wrote some comments on the Loop
News Service, to be read under the Notes.
But first a review

Further cutting down of pensions
13 percent VAT on elementary provisions [food,
energy etc] extremely high, comparing with 6 percent VAT on elementary
provisions in a relative wealthy country like the Netherlands
Freezing the collective labour agreements and violating
the right on strike.
