Read my latest for @BalkanInsight, about #PKK burning weapons and what it can mean for the future of #Turkey and #Kurdistan!
OPINION by @fgeerdink I The Turkish state must make serious changes if ‘peace’ is to mean anything more than a cessation of the 40-year armed struggle by Kurdish PKK fighters. Read more: balkaninsight.com/2025/07/25/kur…

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.
We are deeply disturbed to hear that Iranian Nobel laureate, Narges Mohammadi has received a series of serious threats to her safety and life from agents affiliated with the Islamic Republic's Ministry of Intelligence. narges.foundation/threat-looms-o…
Which Palestine are you recognizing when France trades w/ illegal settlements that make the state's existence impossible? Recognition w/o concrete action to stop Israel's extermination of Palestinians & plundering of their land & resources is hollow. @hrw hrw.org/news/2025/06/1…
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…

A heartbreaking goodbye to journalist Adam Abu Harbeed, who was killed last night in an Israeli airstrike that struck his displacement tent in Gaza.
IOF soldiers are playing target practice with Palestinian kids. They are ALL demonic war criminals.
"it seemed to us like this was almost like a game of target practice. We're going to shoot the head today. Tomorrow it'll be the chest. The next day it'll be the testicles" @maynard_nick on IDF soldiers shooting Palestinian kids.
Je ligt op een luchtbedje te lullen over 'druk opvoeren' terwijl Palestijnen in Gaza doodgehongerd worden. Hoe je de druk opvoert? Eitje: volledige boycot van Israël, ook wapenleverancies stoppen. Niet ingewikkeld, tenzij Palestijnse levens niet tellen.
De VVD is (met een ruime meerderheid van de Kamer) geen voorstander van een nieuw debat. Wij hebben al meerdere malen, onze grote zorgen over de situatie uitgesproken. De regering is bezig het gesprek te voeren hoe de druk op Netanyahu in Europees verband kan worden opgevoerd.
The director of the Kinneret summer camp was arrested after insulting Spain, and 50 French-Israeli kids chanted “Death to Arabs” on a @vueling flight, assaulted crew, and spat on a passenger who said “Free Palestine” — according to witnesses on social media.
Farewell ceremony of Emine Ocak, an icon of the Saturday Mothers, who passed away yesterday. Gathering takes place at Istanbul's central Galatasaray Square, where the Mothers have been demanding answers about their 'disappeared' loved ones since the 1990s.

Voor @villamedia interviewde ik Annet de Graaf over de #journalist die ze werd toen vorig jaar haar Maccabi-video viral ging, en over haar nieuwe platform @_WMedia_. Lezen! villamedia.nl/artikel/fotogr…
Al Jazeera Media Network urgently calls upon the journalistic community, press freedom organisations, and relevant legal bodies to take decisive action to halt the forced starvation and crimes against journalists and media professionals in Gaza. The journalists on the ground,…
Kortje in De Groene van deze week over de #PKK, die wapens verbrandde, wat ik met mijn eigen ogen zag gebeuren. groene.nl/artikel/de-pkk…
Het eerste interview voor Whispering Media! ‘Fotograaf Annet de Graaf werd journalist tijdens de Maccabi rellen’ Dank Frederike Geerdink. @fgeerdink @villamedia villamedia.nl/artikel/fotogr…
Deze verkoper van kleffe fascistoïde pulp noemt zichzelf "politiek journalist" en zijn TV trash "nuance". Zelfs het SBS publiek riep dat het niet kon wat er in zijn "programma" gezegd werd. Wat een absolute schande voor het vak.
Ik weet niet wat opruiender is, ons gesprek met nuances aan tafel of in een recensie een citaat over de fascist Mussolini aanhalen om ons te omschrijven. Wtf.
Büyük bir üzüntüyle duyuruyoruz: Cesaretiyle, ısrarı ve kararlılığıyla hakikat ve adalet mücadelemizin en güçlü sesi Emine Ocak’ı kaybettik. Cenaze törenine ilişkin bilgiler ayrıca duyurulacaktır. Ocak Ailesi Cumartesi Anneleri İnsan Hakları Derneği
Non-journalist Van Groningen weet geen bal van opkomend fascisme, laat staan dat 'ie doorheeft hoe schadelijk zijn eigen rol erin is of wat de rol van journalistiek zou moeten zijn. En dan zeuren over een Mussolini-quote. Die is héél passend voor de dynamiek, Thomas.

Emine Ocak, a veteran human rights campaigner who became the face of the 'Saturday Mothers' movement after her son 'disappeared' in police custody, has passed away. #Kurdistan #Turkey balkaninsight.com/2025/07/23/fac…
