zou onze Flipje uit België een leesgedeelte in z'n koloniale bril hebben?
Zou hij Frantz Fanon gelezen hebben? Is er een doodzwijgcultuur bij de Europese koningshuizen om niks over Gaza te zeggen die hij doorbreekt?

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’
Op felle toon hekelt de Algerijns-Franse activist en schrijver Houria Bouteldja de westerse arrogantie en morele verhevenheid, ook in linkse kringen. ‘Feministen willen dat moslimvrouwen het ene patriarchale systeem omruilen voor het andere.’Marjolein van de Water (DPG Media)
The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a small, calm body of water with a wooden bridge crossing over it. The bridge is constructed with simple wooden beams and railings, reflecting in the water below. On the left side of the image, a dirt path leads to the bridge, bordered by patches of grass and young trees. The water's surface is mostly still, with gentle ripples near the bridge, and the reflection of the bridge and surrounding trees is visible.
In the background, a dense forest of various trees, including both coniferous and deciduous species, stretches across the horizon. The sky is partly cloudy, with soft, diffused light suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. The overall color palette is dominated by greens from the trees, browns from the earth, and blues from the sky and water, creating a tranquil and natural setting.
