An Israeli-born right-wing Dutch lawmaker has called for the government to stop Palestinian refugees from entering the country "with more force than where they came from", prompting a complaint over incitement to violence.

Gidi Markuszower made the comments in a recent video interview with the media platform Left Laser.

Talking about Palestinian refugees, he repeatedly stated that they needed to be stopped from entering the country "with force".

"With force, maybe with even more force than what they fled from. They need to be stopped with force by the Netherlands and all of Europe," he said.

What the fuck is wrong with this dude?

Fun fact: when Geert Wilders won the previous elections he wanted to make this man minister (forgot which department) and then our spy agency advised against it because of relations with a foreign spy agency. They wouldn't say which one but i guess comments like this make it obvious which agency that likely is.

So they know he is a foreign spy but is still allowed to be a politician?

More likely he is an asset, we also have a politician who wants to normalise the relationship with Russia and also repeats the Kremlin propaganda all the time. Afaik the AIVD has 'serious sognals' he is in contact with Russian agents and he also still leads a party (though they have a new front woman now). But yes, both are allowed to remain politicians. Even worse, a lot of people don't know about their foreign connections, because only left-wing media calls them out on it.
