Pro-Palestine presenter disrupts Bar Laat talk show

A pro-Palestinian presenter presents the talk show on television Let’s go break in

“It’s a shame, Jeroen, that you don’t give a platform to an anti-genocide demonstrator and that you reject everything as anti-Semitism,” the man told presenter Jeroen Pauw.

“While children are being burned alive in Gaza. While they are dying of hunger. And you practice self-censorship because you are a state journalist.”

The man then started talking to GroenLinks-PvdA leader Frans Timmermans, who was a guest in the program. He was told that he denies genocide. “Insulting, and then you call yourself the left wing,” said the man.

He also criticized the mayor of Amsterdam Halsema, who “forbids us to show”. He was then removed by security guards at Pauw’s request.

Halsema had not banned a planned pro-Palestinian demonstration at the Johan Cruijff Arena, she simply did not want the demonstration to be held there due to the security risks. The show was moved to Anton de Komplein, near the stadium.
