RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Twee mannen.
De een jood, de ander moslim.
Twee mensen die zelf te maken hebben met discriminatie.
2 mensen die oog hebben voor hun raakvlakken, elkaar kunnen begrijpen en de dialoog aangaan.
Mooi dat zij daarvoor openstaan in 'n gepolariseerde samenleving als de onze. #buitenhof

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Prima en helder optreden van @JoukedeVries bij #buitenhof, met harde verwijten aan het adres van de twitterende onderhandelaars voor een nieuw kabinet.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Absolutely massive anti-Russian protests in Tbilisi right now.

In size, reminiscent of Kyiv 2014. No coincidence that it's for the same reason.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: 🇬🇪 Large-scale protests against the law on "foreign agents", which is almost identical to the Russian one, continue in the Georgian capital

Protesters and the opposition came to the office of the ruling "Georgian Dream" party. There have been no clashes with police or arrests so far.

On Monday, May 13, the Georgian parliament begins to consider the bill in the third and final reading. Civil society organizations and the opposition say that the law will block Georgia's path to the EU. The US and the European Union have already spoken out against the law.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: We were just denied entry to @Eurovision with the EU 🇪🇺 flag. We were told by security it’s “political” and “not allowed”. How could the @EBU_HQ ban the EU flag at Europe’s biggest event? #Eurovision

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Is a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians possible, or are we now in a "one-state reality?"

@AlonTal_MK and Dr. Salam Fayyad discussed each scenario in a recent @StanfordHumSci class, "Democracy and Disagreement."

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Google Cloud accidentally deleted a company's entire cloud environment (Unisuper, an investment company, which manages $80B). The company had backups in another region, but GCP deleted those too. Luckily, they had yet more backups on another provider.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Horrifying, persuasive, deeply reported CNN piece on IDF torture and abuse of Palestinian detainees. Strong echoes of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The UN Security Council calls for immediate, independent, thorough, comprehensive, transparent and impartial investigations into mass graves discovered at the Nasser and Al Shifa medical facilities in Gaza.

There needs to be accountability for violations of international law.

Israeli whistleblower & witnesses corroborate unspeakable dehumanization, torture in Israeli prison: “Part of my torture was being able to see how people were being tortured. I could see the extent to which they saw us not as human beings but as animals.”

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: As Israeli Forces bombardment intensifies in #Rafah, forced displacement continues.

@UNRWA estimates around 110,000 people have now fled Rafah looking for safety. But nowhere is safe in the #GazaStrip & living conditions are atrocious.

The only hope is an immediate #Ceasefire
