The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don’t stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Unfortunately, Jos D’Haese is terribly unlikeable.
How so
The first is very personal for me, which is that for me, he comes across as disingenuous. The second is that he is populist (which is ok in itself) but doesn’t have the theoretical backing to support his populism with facts and history when necessary (or at least, not as far as I’ve heard or seen). And thirdly, he never returned my emails about pvda opposing good move in Brussel as a cheap trick to gain favor with the locals also opposing it. Opposing a circulation plan for a major city isn’t a good look.
Not sure if Jos is the one to look at things happening in Brussels. Maybe try to contact PVDA Brussels for that? I’m also not up to date with the plans in Brussels so I can’t say anything about it. Sometimes local action groups can have kind of meh ideas to be honest.
To me Jos doesn’t seem disingenuous really. When I talk to him in person he comes across as a person that’s genuinely caring about the things he talks about. Especially when it comes to Palestine. But that’s different for everyone of course. I don’t know anything about his knowledge of theory.
