It seems that the reason the @Piratenpartij rejected the @piratepartygr's motion on #Palestine is even worse than previously imagined. Awaiting confirmation of what their endgame is, but it looks too much like new #Nakba.

Cath @Kletskous well, there was a lot of strange stuff at Bsky from Mark van Treuren. He deflected questions, went on abt Iran & the like, then said Egypt doesn't want to take Palestinian refugees, then played the victim. A lot. @piratepartygr @piratesenex
@Kletskous As for the self-victimization part, he said something about how we did "terrible lobbying" for our motion, how we employ KGB-like "disinfolklore" like the one Putin uses against Zelenskyy etc. Is this guy for real? @monadoll @piratepartygr
@Kletskous It all started here: https://bsky.app/profile/m-doll0809a.secondlife.bio/post/3lkequcdgyc27
The conversation got a bit convoluted, branching off all over the place. There were moments when his passive-aggressive behavior really tested my patience and manners. @monadoll
@piratepartygr
@Kletskous what is even more appalling is that, after this discussion started and Van Treuren intervened with his subterfuge-filled responses, Brandsma avoided (re)posting anything that would make him look like he's pro-Palestine and anti-apartheid. Doll cannot know what happened within the party, of course. But guesses can be made. @piratesenex @piratepartygr
@monadoll perhaps it's a coincidence. @Kletskous @piratepartygr
@monadoll I agree, it's quite a weird discussion on BlueSky. I also think this severe issue is not very suitable to discuss on the socials I'll wait for the official statement of @Piratenpartij for now. @piratesenex @piratepartygr
@Kletskous doll shall leave this here...

The guy is in complete denial.
@Piratenpartij @piratesenex @piratepartygr
@Kletskous it is obvious that he has adopted the Israeli narrative. It makes perfect sense that he will never acknowledge the #genocide. If this is @Piratenpartij's official line on #Palestine, it is not surprising that progressive people are leaving the Pirate Movement in general. @piratesenex @piratepartygr
@monadoll indeed, he doesn't mention things like the illegal occupation, the decade-long blockade of #Gaza, the arbitrary detentions, the wanton killings and torture - it's like none of these Israeli policies are contributing factors and that whatever insurrection happens is due to... Iranian influence or whatever. @Kletskous @Piratenpartij @piratepartygr
@piratesenex he's also employing well-known bad-faith argumentative tricks. @monadoll @Kletskous
