The headquarters of Doctors Without Borders on Plantage Middenlaan in Amsterdam was vandalized early Saturday morning, authorities reported.

According to Het Parool, the building’s facade, entrance door, and sidewalk were smeared with white and blue paint, and a banner displayed the message, “End the genocide now.”

      Machine translation of the referenced site:

      Images of AT5 show that, among other things, a canvas on the facade of the building, with the text ‘End the genocide now’, is covered. The canvas had been there for a long time, and had been hung by the relief organization itself.

      Blue and white paint is likely chosen to express support for Israel.

        So this “nltimes” website couldn’t even properly translate the article they copied? What a waste of digital space.

      I am equally confused. They’ve consistently been a voice from the trenches. I was anticipating some zio propoganda. I think I’ve missed something.

      Wild string connecting guess - Israel = Jewish people -> Jewish people = Globalism -> Globalism = No Borders -> No borders = DWB. QED, DWB is endorsing Israeli genocide.

        Please get your head checked, you racist idiot

        Did they vandalize themselves? How does your statement make any sense?

          Bud, I’m not agreeing with it. It’s just an attempt to make a lick of sense out of this craziness.

        In the Netherlands? What a shame to learn that level Americanesque idiocy has found a foothold.

    To be clear, according to AT5, the banner reading “End the genocide now.” was vandalized.

    It seems like whoever did this has a disgusting perspective if they are in favor of genocide and against Doctors Without Borders.
