The Dutch making amends?
During the Arab oil embargo in 1973-74, the Netherlands was one of the few countries that stood by Israel (the others being US, South Africa, and Portugal). The Dutch have always sided with Israel and served its interests at their own expense. But it would seem that the recent Dutch criticism of Israel's brutal occupation comes with a heavy price.
In September 2016, the Dutch P.M. Mark Rutte called for an end to the Israeli settlements. He also supported labeling Israeli produce from the West Bank. Rutte also called for a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders.
In October 2017, Dutch Foreign Minister questioned Israel's desire for peace and the continued occupation/settlement projects.
Israel was pissed. Time for retaliation and a lesson - and perhaps a chance for the Dutch to reclaim their place as stooges.
The November 4th headline of The Jerusalem Post declared: "Report: Dutch Technology May Have Helped Advance Iran's Weapons Program". Not only implicating the Dutch but once again promoting the false narrative that Iran had a weapons program.
According to JP, "intelligence services from the Netherlands raising a red flag over Iran's use of Dutch technology to accelerate its lethal weapons program".
Seems the Israeli's are giving their stooge, the Dutch, to cooperate ... else.
