The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)

The writer agreed with their conversation partner that Hamas's attack aimed to kill Jews because they were Jews. They argued that Hamas had the resources to do more and would have done so if Israel had not struck against the group. According to the writer, Hamas could have ended the fighting immediately by releasing the hostages. #Hamas #Israel #antisemitism #IL #PS (translated)

Strijder124 wrote that Hanneke van der Werf (D66) said last month that Europe should, if necessary, shoot at Russian launch installations itself. He also stated that Minister Yesilgöz had not referred to Russia as an aggressor the day before, but as an enemy. According to Strijder124, this deliberately escalated the conflict further and the Netherlands was at the forefront of that rhetoric. Ron Keller warned according to Strijder124 that Vladimir Putin could use the designation as an open enemy to mobilize an additional 100,000 troops. Keller said such statements heightened the conflict further and were not in the interest of the Netherlands. #Rusland #conflict #veiligheid (translated)

Visser wrote that this showed how vulnerable we were. #grafiekvandedag https://t.co/L9jIPDRli4 #EU #energie #winteroutlook (translated)

Marcel Crok suspected that Tijs was referring to him with the term 'climate deniers' because he claimed to be about the only dissenting voice during an external expert day in March 2025. He called the term derogatory and pointed out that CDA leader Henri Bontenbal had also used it regularly, according to him. Crok invited Tijs to a lecture by Clintel given by Roger Pielke Jr. the following Sunday in Driebergen. He referred to an article by Pielke about a campaign against climate scientists with dissenting views. According to Crok, Australian activists, including a cartoonist, with the support of influential American climate scientists, created blacklists. Among those listed were Pielke, his father, and Judith Curry, according to him. Crok wrote that their academic careers were thereby hindered and called the issue concerning for Members of Parliament. Regarding his own participation in the Citizen's Assembly, Crok stated that the selection of citizens went well and that his discussions with KNMI director Maarten van Aalst were respectful. However, in hindsight, he claimed that the organization published an incorrect fact-check. He said he should have filed a forty-page complaint before he received any response. Crok argued that the debate about climate, just like the debate about corona which Tijs had previously struggled with as a journalist, was, in his view, being stifled. He spoke of a suffocating atmosphere in the academic world and wrote that no journalist had signed up to attend Pielke's lecture. #klimaat #wetenschap #discussie (translated)

Sander van Dam asked why, according to him, there were people on the Dam with banners reading "We support Hamas" and further along "Long live October 7th" was being sung, if no one was trying to justify Hamas.
