It has been almost a year since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out in the Gaza Strip. The Netherlands should maintain a more critical stance towards Israel, Dutch voters said in a survey conducted by Ipsos I&O on behalf of the newspaper de Volkskrant.Half of Dutch voters want a stricter stance toward Israel. This is not only the call of left-wing voters. Critical voices from the conservative camp, such as the NSC and the VVD, also want the government to take a more critical stance towards Israel.

    Israel escalated extensively over the past few weeks. The goal is a war with Iran, not fought by Israel, but by its western allies.

    Devastating attacks on Lebanon, extended attacks on Syria, Iraq, Yemen, terrorist attacks in Iran, another step up in the slaughter in Gaza and a new escalation to massacres in the Westbank.

    The West needs to decide. Put an end to this fascist total war madness, or risk escalating to WW3, possibly sending their own youth to die in a war, where they don’t even get to enjoy the spoils.
