Geert Wilders warns that if Israel falls, the west will follow
Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana awarded the Jabotinsky Prize for Liberty to Dutch MP Geert Wilders this week as the Party for Freedom (PVV) leader toured Israel, where he held diplomatic meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and members of the Israeli cabinet.With or without Donald Trump, however, the battle against the Religion of Peace must continue, and it's good Wilders is a realist. And since the Netherlands is a subject here, there's also news about a Muslim woman sentenced to a decade in prison for enslaving a Yazidi woman (via Jihad Watch):
“This award is a fitting tribute to a man who, for so long, embodied Jabotinsky’s courage and conviction. He has confronted the lies propagated by institutions like the ICC [International Criminal Court], which distort justice and reward terror. In America, we are seeing President Trump assemble a dream team. Geert brings that same optimism to Europe, where it is needed even more,” Speaker Ohana said of the main power behind the government of The Netherlands.
Wilders, a leading critic of radical Islam, has long been a staunch supporter of the Jewish state, having volunteered for a year in the West Bank during his youth. During his diplomatic mission to the country this week, Wilders continued to advocate for Israel’s rightful control of the West Bank, describing the Jordan Valley settlements in Judea and Samaria as Israel’s “bulletproof vest” without which it would cease to exist as a country.
Upon receiving the award from the Knesset, Wilders said: “This is not the time to be silent, but to stand up and support Israel. After the October 7, 2023 massacre, where 1,200 innocent Jewish lives were lost, the world was shocked, but as so often, unfortunately, only for a short time, after which too many countries, politicians and institutions like the UN and the ICC started bashing Israel for rightfully defending itself and its people against an existential threat.”
Wilders said that his mission to Israel was intended to show his “full and never-ending support” against the “evil powers” of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The PVV leader lamented that alongside the hatred of Jews by radical Islamists, the anti-Israel sentiment is being driven by the “self-hatred of woke Westerners who no longer believe in fighting for the truth.”
The Dutch populist reiterated his warning that should Israel fall in its battle, the “West will be next” and therefore wished to demonstrate by his journey to Israel that there are still “political leaders in Europe that are not afraid to come here and say out loud, here and in Europe, very clear, that we will never, ever abandon you and we’ll be always at your side.”
A Dutch court Wednesday sentenced a woman to 10 years in prison for keeping a woman from the Yazidi minority as a slave after joining the Islamic State group in Syria.After she's out of prison, they'd do well to exile her altogether, and if she needs to be banished to Syria again, so be it. There's plenty of other jihadists in Europe who could be sent to a hellhole like that, among several other Muslim areas. And all that aside, Israelis shouldn't hesitate to voice their support and defense of any Europeans who're realists.
The court in The Hague convicted the 33-year-old from Hengelo in eastern Netherlands, identified as Hasna A, for “enslavement, membership of a terrorist organization, promoting terrorist crimes, and endangering her young son.”
She traveled to Syria in 2015 with her son, aged four at the time, the court said. She married an IS fighter and had children with him.
Between May to October 2015, she lived with another IS fighter, who kept a Yazidi woman as a slave.
Hasna A. made the Yazidi woman do household chores for her and look after her son, the court ruled. [...]
According to public broadcaster NOS, Hasna A was repatriated in November 2022 to the Netherlands from a Syrian prison camp with 11 other Dutch women and their 28 children.
