Kort stukje, even kijken/luisteren. Man man! En dat dit uitgerekend bij WNL gebeurt! Want vergis je niet, de reden dat Wilders en Plas er vrijelijk op los liegen is: ze hebben alle vertrouwen dat journalisten op tv dit zelden zo doen. Terwijl het zo simpel is, laat Frank van Leeuwen zien.

Bij UVA en Maccabi-rellen had het kabinet oordeel Jodenhaat meteen klaar. Bij deze extreemrechtse rellen weigerde het kabinet het beestje meteen bij de naam te noemen. Wie extreemrechts ophitst en faciliteert, brengt onze samenleving én onze agenten in gevaar. Dan sta je niet voor hun veiligheid

Diederik van Dijk SGP: “die moties over het helpen van Gazaanse kinderen worden alleen maar ingediend om ons als gewetenloos af te schilderen.” Vgl. Yesilgoz bij Pauw & de Wit: “u maakt er een morele kwestie van.” 😳 Het ís een morele kwestie! En het ís gewetenloos!

VVD-minister weigerde de rellen bij Vragenuur te veroordelen voor wat ze waren: nazistisch, antisemitisch, extreemrechts. Dat bleek lijnrecht tegen advies NCTV.
