In an opinion piece, Rahma Bavelaar argues that Western institutions do not want to listen to the voices of Palestinians, such as that of a Gazan student who was wrongfully accused after a social media video, which led to a smear campaign and threats against him. #Gaza #Palestijnen #VrijheidVanMeningsuiting (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)

Bart Nijman wrote that Hussein Issa, the Gaza student at Maastricht University, had posted the video on his own Instagram.

Bart Nijman wrote that an Israeli who wanted to learn Dutch at a language school was refused because he did not unconditionally acknowledge a "genocide." In contrast, he stated that a Gazan who, in his opinion, had suggested being involved on October 7 had received residence status and a full scholarship. Nijman said that this, in his view, aligned with the government's motto: "It is possible." #taalonderwijs #discriminatie #ongelijkheid (translated)

The Public Prosecution Service has decided not to conduct any further criminal investigation into the Gazan student from Maastricht, who posted a video on social media in which he appeared to cheer about the attacks of October 7, because there is no evidence of involvement in the attacks or other criminal offenses. #Israël #Hamas #UniversiteitMaastricht (translated)

Is Representative Tuppurainen listening? I have some questions. When Representative Anna Kontula tried to break into Gaza, did any other leftist try to break into Israel as a counter? And if no one tried, is Finland's position in the UN Security Council in danger? #Suomi #YK #Politiikka (translated)

Deze Gazaan verblijft in een guest house van UM. Kwam binnen door inspanning van de uni zelf, die hem hielpen met z’n verblijfsvergunning.

Als het voor mij al zo makkelijk is om posts terug te vinden waarin een Gazaanse student in Maastricht martelaarschap verheerlijkt en zegt dat hij zelf zo wil sterven… waarom is dat dan niet gecheckt vóór hij naar NL kwam? Hoeveel van die Hamas-sympathisanten zitten hier? https://t.co/C2l5eqoVBl #haatzaaien #veiligheid #terrorisme
