A confidential memo from the Dutch Defense Attache at the embassy in Tel Aviv warned the government that the Israeli army “intends to deliberately cause enormous destruction to infrastructure and civilian centers” in the Gaza Strip, which explains the “high number of deaths” among Palestinian civilians. The memo describes Israel’s actions as “disproportionate force” and a “violation of international treaties and the laws of war,” NRC reports.

The Dutch minister of Defense is furious about the leaking of a memo that confirms israel does not have a plan in Gaza and is trying to maximize civilian casualties.

    Seems like they should be more furious about the fact that a supposed dear ally is trying to maximize civilian casualties. But I guess when you live in the upside down it’s the whistleblowers who are actually the villains.

      The Netherlands is currently making good money selling F35 parts to Israel to repair their bombers with. The PM Mark Rutte is trying to become the next head of NATO. Stop trying to ruin his future please.

      There are poor F35 farmers that need this money to feed their families.
