The decision of the US to withdraw visa for Palestinian representatives to allow them to attend the UN General Assembly #UNGA meeting in New York next month, might expedite talks of moving UN Headquarters out of New York.

Terrorismebestrijding en -preventie worden zowel in Nl als werelwijd met grote bezuinigingen opgezadeld. Als het om conflict en veiligheid gaat, is dat het paard achter de wagen spannen. Zie mijn opinie in @fd.nl fd.nl/opinie/15664...

Het probleem van terrorisme is nog lang niet opgelost. Sterker nog de dreiging is diffuser en onvoirspelbaarder georden. Het is daarom onbegrijpelijk dat de aandacht en fondsen voor preventie van terrorisme zijn verdwenen. Hebben we dan niets geleerd?

Arendt also stated:”The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

Hannah Arendt already warned us:”Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”
