In November, Geert Wilders, a far-right politician, won the Dutch general election, indicating a severe U-turn over the immigration policy. Moreover, with many politicians disagreeing with his policies, a government formation is proving to be difficult. So, in this video, we’re going to look at how Dutch attitudes at immigration have changed over the years, and how the next Dutch government may look like.

    So sad to see the Dutch made Wilders the biggest party. He is a traditional hatemonger against minorities. The intelligence agency in the Netherlands were surprised when he had meetings in the Israelian embassy during the nineties. Almost every couple of weeks he had these meetings. If you consider how anti Islam he is and how many Jewish institutions funded his party it was clear that Israël wanted to divide the Dutch people. Even the head of the pro Israël institute CIDI had its suspicions about Wilders .
    Now the Dutch unfortunately chose him as the biggest party we now have an extreme right party in charge. And he wanting power now claims to water down his anti constitution ideas. The Dutch
    seems to forget the lessons of the WW two were people with the same rascist ideas almost destroyed the world. Hopefully they will come to their senses.
    The media also played in to his playbook by showing criminal asylumseekers getting round up by civilian vigilantes. After Wilders win they now claimed we needed three millions n foreign laborers to keep the country afloat. Regrets after the fact.

    Can we please stop using the word "immigrant" as to refer all the foreigners residing in the EU? Why the media always has a favor in equating asylum seekers with legal immigrants paying same amount of taxes and learning culture and language to adjust into a new society whilst not taking any one-sided advantage by hijacking its welfare system? I'm a student in engineering and trying to learn from the language and culture as much as I can but why the fellow folks similar to me always get labeled as being on a par with refugees or even illegal immigrants?

    The Quran certainly mentions some questionable statements..However, the book is of such a scale, it would take a real prodigy to recite. Listen, I don’t hate Arabs or anyone who wants to peacefully follow Islam, but Muslim nations are huge both in population and land mass, it’s pure greed to think you deserve our countries also and it’s a serious red flag. Our governments are putting all of us in serious danger. We ignore politics at our own peril. Next, we’re going to make the politicians pass an integration examination, a full cat scan and psychopathy testing. Governments are a parallel society filled with socio and psychopaths. You want these cretins in charge of you and your children, and their education?.

    A friend of mine lived on the edges of the Turkish enclave in Amsterdam while his parents were applying for immigration to the United States. He told a story of walking into a Turkish corner store. Just as he did, a young Turkish guy had drunk a bottle of milk from the cooler and was attempting to walk out without paying; the Turkish store owner attempted to stop him and the young guy brought out a knife. Welcome to multiculturalism.

    this law has been approved. his popularity is simple and right. i didn,t vote for him but the Netherlands has the most density of people after Bangladesh. i mean a real country and not just a city. so the Dutch are a bit fed up with that. also the fact that they want more of there beliefs and principals into our lives. we don,t want that. we like pork, we like being nude on the beach, we like to drink, we like life.

    Who is Geert Wilders? Geert Wilders claims to have a strong personal relationship with Israel. He went to Israel about forty times in the last twenty-five years. According to his own statements, he met Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert there several times. He claims close links with Mossad.
    Wilders first wanted to emigrate to Israel. There is also worked in industrial bakeries and in a moshav. Elected deputy, he supports Israel and castigates the countries hostile to him. He continues to go after his election, accompanied by other elected officials from his party. He decides against the return of the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel, in exchange for peace, and decides for the voluntary departure of the Palestinians in Jordan.
    Geert Wilders was supported during the legal process against him by American neoconservatives like Daniel Pipes and David Horowitz. The Republican Jewish Coalition (Republican Jewish Coalition, RJC) financed one of his speeches in a synagogue in Boston (United States)

    aslyum and refugee seekers shouldn't be allowed to have more than one child as a policy, as they are fed on country's tax resources, if they wish to have more kids deport them to their country
    if this population control is not done , demographics change very fast and i bet your country will be theirs in no time

    February 12, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    06:25 if a country wishes to depend on hatred, then i believe that country is bound to fail in the 21st century.
    This is not the 1800s, if you're not open minded then you are willing to be left behind.
    This man would probably cause a genocide to "kick" moroccans out if he could.

  36. @weprayforcars7

    February 12, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    I blame the government, they keep the criminals, don't deport them and then blame every immigrant, even the ones that work hard to provide for their families and are actually good citizens.
    Though it's their country and since I'm not related to the Dutch in any way, this is a personal opinion and they're obviously free to take any stance if it doesn't hurt anybody else.

  37. @alanharrison573

    February 12, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    It is a huge mistake to allow anyone into our nation. The fact that we build a nation that embodies freedom and prosperity is no accident. If we allow people in who are hostile to our values and culture, they will destroy what we have built. Its that simple. We must be more culturally selective!

    Nothing wrong with LESS immigration. To a small healthy proportion of that country or state. (per case/ situationally)
    (excl. ofc. unrealistic and unlawful bans on book / religion / belief(s), what is known by many)
    Where are ''all'' the politicians that support and carry out policy/initiative in the light of the country's intrest(s)? -There are like few.
    (Often people playing the truth game get silenced or called far-right or racist by program-makers.)
    Every state has it's maximum amount/number. Maybe that number, of the Netherlands is, more like, ca.70.000, or a temporary stop. >considering both size and the level international mindset of the population / seeing a small size of immigration as a natural part of society(currently) and the population's openness to work with such an active planning(yearly).

    Compassion only goes so far when you DAILY watch these people systematically destroying everything your country stands for. Extroidinary times need extroidinary measures.
    Don't let the Christian compassion try to cope with people who have no Christian values. Political correctness will destroy you…and THEY know that.

    Geert Wilders must protect Hindus from Muslim outrage in all the Scandinavian countries.
    Many Westerners mistake Hindus for Muslims and may mistakenly attack Hindus.
    My suggestion is that all Hindus must be asked to wear the tilak or tika on their forehead. Or tie a protection thread or raksha on their hands.
