Thanks for tagging me! The student unions did a great job honestly. I think they were under a lot of pressure and there was a chance the protest would be deemed illegal and police would get violent. I’m glad that didn’t happen. Also there was a lot of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle. A small light compared to the news of extreme police violence from yesterday’s protest against genocide in Amsterdam.
I’d love to join but I’m not a puppy nor a girl and I don’t wish to become one :(
(Also idk if I have the energy to join in on the fun lol)
Bureaucrat posting has been a wholesome ending to site drama
Student unions decided to take over the organisation and are calling for people to come anyways. But with the risks involved there will be less people. Small actions are also planned all over the country but because the cancellation by workers unions was so last minute everything will be pretty chaotic. Tonight the police were very aggressively beating up anti genocide protesters again so that will cause outrage as well tomorrow so it will be an interesting day.
Student unions tried to pressure the mayor to tell them exactly why she and the police think there’s a risk of violence but they won’t give any other details than what was written in my original post. This is why they decided to ignore the risk and protest anyways.
This also shows how spineless the unions are for agreeing to cancel the protest instead of challenging the mayor and police. The budget cut of 1 billion per year will be devastating for the whole higher education sector and the vote for that plan is in less than 2 weeks, meaning that the cancellation of this protest will likely make it much more likely that the plan will pass without much opposition.
A large protest against budget cuts in higher education in The Netherlands that was planned for tomorrow in Utrecht has been cancelled due to (paraphrasing:) ‘threats of violence by pro Palestine protesters who planned to hijack the protest.’
This can not be seen without the context of the unrest in Amsterdam last week. Dutch media and politicians have been trying really hard this past week to paint anti genocide protesters in a very bad light, and this situation is no different. Several pro Palestine organisations have stated that they stand wholeheartedly behind the protests against the budget cuts and were joining to show their support. People are speculating that this support is being framed as hijacking now by the mayor of Utrecht and the police.
Oh yes please!
This is so cool, I hope I remember to join tomorrow morning

Sorry but then you’ll have to leave the site. Maybe some will make hasnoabifan.site
Sorry if that came of mean, I was being half-serious. I just remember a long rant I enjoyed reading.
I only remember your name because you’re the biggest hasan hater on this site
Police hasn’t arrested anyone related to Thursday night attacks on hooligans (all arestees were protesters), they have a team looking at footage and witness accounts first now. I’m a bit afraid this guy will get arrested but I don’t know how much proof there is against him. Police did say that they might try to charge for terrorism as well as and antisemitism which would be wild if they succeeded.
Yes I always say, if the floods come, we deserve it.
Yeah that sucks. The videos only work for people who care about the truth.
Maccabi hooligans in Tel Aviv airport
They’re singing the same song as in Amsterdam and now I finally have a good source on the translation:
Let the IDF win and fuck the arabs
Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there.
Video evidence makes it relatively easy to refute the media lies. I’m a bit burnt out right now but maybe I’ll make an effort post later that include events + videos for context. You can look up cestmocro on Instagram, they have a good summary of the events with videos.
I’m not sure they were Ajax fans. Most of the fights were between Maccabi and locals that were angry about the islamophobia, racism and vandalism of the night before. Ajax fans beat up a pro Palestine protester last Sunday, I don’t think they’re cool enough to be pro Palestine.
Literally me rn
