  2. >We need more time to put the events of October 7 and beyond into a broader perspective, with room for different opinions and beliefs.

    Nothing about the 75 years before that? Why do I hear so many people act like there is no additional context other than October 7th?

  3. I try to the avoid the news nowadays because of infuriating things like this

  6. Europe is slowly submitting to a religion called “submission”.

  8. Well…the tiktokkers had other shit to do anyway..

  9. The article is incomplete. This is related to the fact that there have been complaints about CIDI, a zionist organization, being involved in the lectures. Why not just teach them without CIDI and avoid tainting the lectures commemorating the Holocaust with current events?

  11. The fact that we’re just casually letting this happen in Europe is disgusting. Time to become a single issue voter until it’s taken more seriously.

  12. >Sympathizers of New Neighbours Utrecht congratulate the organization at length: “A nice victory”, “outrageous that they wanted to hold this lecture series at all” and “I saw that a Holocaust survivor is coming as a speaker. Bizarre,” the Telegraaf reported.

    Are they sure the last one isn’t sarcastic?

  13. Giving in to threats is the dumbest thing you can do. They win this way.

  14. As a Turk, I cannot understand how Europe could have fallen this hard. As an atheist living in Turkey, Europe has always been a safe haven for me in case Erdoğan considers going the Iranian route. But it looks like Europe won’t be the same until then. 

  15. If you think it’s insensitive to hold Holocaust lectures in this context (it’s not), then you could both lectures about the Holocaust and about the history of palestinians since 1948. It would ruffle feathers with both groups of extremists, but it would maintain academical integrity.

  16. and people wonder why the right is winning over the people, when shits like this is rampant across the continent

  18. Europe needs to get it together before it is too late.

  20. They’re going to have lectures one way or the other
