Holland to help build pipeline to Gaza

 

 

THE HAGUE: -- The Netherlands will help build a pipeline to provide gas and water to the Gaza strip.

 

At a joint press conference with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Benjamin Netanyahu expressed a wish to ‘help the people of Gaza.’ He said laying the pipeline was the first step.

 

Former Dutch PM Dries Van Agt decribed Netanyahu as a ‘war criminal.’ Protesters in the street agreed and expressed their belief that Netanyahu should be tried at the Hague whilst in the Netherlands.

Good for Netanyahu. He wants to help the people of Gaza.

 

Not sure why the absurd opinion of a former PM was included in this article. It is WAY off topic - the usual press liberal bias one would imagine.

I agree the reference to the former PM seems out of place. It's maybe an over-the-top-attempt to be fair and balanced, and reflecting the fact that a majority opinion in Holland believes that Israel has committed war crimes  in/against Gaza under Netanyahu's leadership.

I have to wonder how long it will be in operation before some muslim revolutionary puts a bomb under it.

Pipeline supplying gas and water?  They mean soda water? Or alternate times gas and then water? Better make sure the firemen have a copy of the schedule.

Look what they did the greenhouses left for them in Gaza - looted and ruined.

In a previous post your pointed out the liberal bias of the press, I certainly wouldn't argue that, however it's not hard to find any bias that you prefer. Now, if the press is biased, then what good are links as they only inaccurately validate biased viewpoints?

• In other words, there is no evidence to support his claim. Just as I thought.

This is about an international joint venture between Holland and Israel, not about possible Zionist war crimes in Gaza. Gaza will be supplied with water, the Dutch have century long experience with water (half of their country being built on the Northern Sea), so this could be an advantage to Palestinians. Don't forget, there's another part of Palestine (the West Jordan area), and there's by far not as much trouble as in overcrowded Gaza.

I found this interesting and tried to find something that either supports or undermines Does's statement.

I could not find much on it unfortunately, but did find this link, https://brabosh.com/2013/11/19/pqpct-scq/, in Dutch, where it says that a survey has shown that the Dutch people think that more support should be given to Israel, more than to the Palestinians. This is a Belgian website, called the Flemish friends of Israel.

Of course.  Who, in his right mind, is willing to support murderers?

Don't bother, Holland. The Israelis will bomb disable it whenever  they get an itch.

So far, Israel is doing more than any other country to help Gaza despite shelling and rockets

on a daily bases, much more than any of their Arab/Muslims brethren like Egypt next door

who despises the Hamas for being the Muslims brotherhood supporters,

so yes, Israel will build the pipe, and I guarantee you it will be bombed by a terrorist splinter

group who's only wish is to keep the animosities burning.....
