Good call from the Dutch Parliament:
The Dutch parliament on Tuesday approved a motion seeking to block any dialogue between government officials and Hamas, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom announced.
The motion – made in effort to counter growing calls in Europe to engage the Islamist group in dialogue – was put forward by MP Raymond de Roon, third on Wilders’ list.
“We should never even talk to an organization that seeks the downfall of Israel. I am therefore glad that my resolution was accepted,’ de Roon said.
In the motion, de Roon requested the government “ensure the terrorist organization Hamas is excluded from any international debate or governance forum,” a party spokesperson told Haaretz.
“Hamas is not only anti-Zionist,” de Roon previously wrote about Hamas. “It is anti-Jewish and a racist organization.
Quite right.
