Thank you for your kind explanation
On March the 20th, on BBC World, Hardtalk presenter Stephen Sackur had an interview with Dmitri Peskov, the spokesman for President-elect Putin. At one point in their interesting talk, Mr Peskov said: “We are all members of the international law system”, and then he added, correcting himself, “…of the current international law system”. This brought me in a bit of a philosophical mood. It reminded me of a wise observation of the ancient Greek, who knew ‘panta rhei’, ‘everything flows’, i.e. everything is subject to change, nothing is static forever.

On the 5th of May, 1945, Hitler’s forces occupying The Netherlands surrendered, and ever since, that date is celebrated as Liberation Day in my country. On the day prior to that, the war victims are solemnly commemorated. There have now risen several controversies over the commemoration on this May the 4th. During the ceremony in Amsterdam, it was planned to let a child recite his poem over the wrong choice his great-uncle made during the war; he volunteered for the Waffen-SS (four members of the same family went into the resistance). This plan was dropped over protests of the Nationale Auschwitz Comité, among others. On the island of Texel, the son of a NSB mayor will perhaps be allowed to speak. The NSB was the party of Dutch Nazis. In the town of Vorden, this year’s ceremony is planned to include a moment of silence at the grave of ten German soldiers. A Jewish organization is legally trying to prevent that. At this moment I don’t know the outcome of their court action.
I am against all these plans. I view the 4th of May as the annual occasion where the Dutch should commemorate the losses and pain the Nazis and the Japanese Empire inflicted upon our people and upon the Jews and other minorities living in The Netherlands, not the perpetrators. The wider frame should be the notion that the nightmare that fell over The Netherlands during 5 years of occupation amply proved how important it is to be a free and independent people, determining its own course, under God, and how important it is to make that resolvedness clear to overambitious forces outside and inside the country. (I don’t mean my views on Dodenherdenking to be disrespectful to those Dutch military who died during UN missions.)
I’ve been wondering where the bad ideas for the 4th of May come from. The average Dutchman is incompletely and misleadingly informed about the world’s realities by his schoolbooks, newspapers and TV programmes, but he is definitely anti-Nazi, so that can’t be it.
I think the root cause is the opinion climate that our rulers have imposed upon us the last decades, an opinion climate in which the Dutch, in my view, are summoned to display too much understanding, too much softness and too much tolerance for too many things. It’s only in such an erratic opinion climate where some city councils and commemoration committees can dream up such ill plans.
And the socalled ordinary people are sitting at home and they are undergoing these news stories passively, as my country is regretfully very much a top-down governed country, in which the people are feeling absolutely powerless to do something about the parade of faits accomplis they are confronted with.
Finally, it’s obvious to me that commemorations involving occupiers, traitors and volunteers for the enemy’s army are bad for the reputation of The Netherlands abroad. I believe foreign politicians and the international media are hardly paying attention to this now, but a day might come when you will see they have noticed and remembered it.

Please have a look at www.dailymail.co.uk for the article Seized from smugglers, the leather-bound 'gospel' which Iran claims will bring down Christianity and shake world politics.
It is a telling example of what seems to be the editorial guidelines of the old media of the West, with regard to the relations between Christianity and Islam:
1. Feed the Christian readers with info that makes them think bad about the Islam, in this case, the Islamic state of Iran.
2. Feed the Muslim readers with info that makes them think bad about Christianity, about the Western societies.
3. Consequently, stealthily feed the tensions between the indigenous peoples of the West and the Muslim immigrants in their countries.
4. Never mention Torahism, never mention its doctrine in full, let alone carry out investigative journalism after its goals, its tactics, its strategies. Keep the people totally ignorant about this.
Divide et impera, divide and rule. This strategy is always attributed to the rulers of the Roman Empire, but I trust Moses, the founder of Torahism, also to have understood a thing or two about this.
