Google-Fu is an art. It’s in an anonymous letter a group of civil servants from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote to the Court of Appeal in The Hague:
Yeah okay cool, no need to be condescending when I already told you I found the damn NRC article. I, however, can’t access it and would like to read it in Dutch, or at the very least in a source a bit more trustworthy than Jacobin or not as no-name as nltimes.nl.
Also, like I said, this post frames it as if it’s a quote from Rutte. Your sources say it’s not. This shit is deliberately misleading.
Sorry, it was supposed to be funny. Here is an archived link to the article. I agree, it is misleading. But the letter to the Hague contains a paraphrased statement that conveys the sentiment in the leaked memo.
All good.
And yeah, it’s clear that Rutte’s cabinet is aware that Israel is bad but doesn’t want to acknowledge it, but this post is misinformation.
