rememberance day in the netherlands has been really interesting the past few years. let's remember everyone who passed in WWII and other subsequent armed conflics. no we are not acknowledging the genocides that are currently happening because it's our allies who are doing it. nooooo that's not genocide, you're sooo silly. when we remember the genocide of the past, we only mean the one that we're not currently financing. never again, we have to remember the people that died! also: our bestie israel is getting more money! no yea, we acknowledge that people are getting hurt but we aren't condemning it at all. yes we are condemning the holocaust and everyone else who died then. yes we are banning any sign of protest against our governmental hypocrisy from the official rememberance ceremonies. because anyone who asks for other conflics to be included doesn't respect the people that died for this country!!!
oh no! what happened???!!?? our monument to remember everyone who died in WOII and other conflics got red paint and the word 'genocide' on it?????? how dare these activists not respect our rememberance day. the day where we're so selective about which people's deaths we care about!!!!! ironic really
