Er zijn nogal war culturo’s die een hoge dunk van zichzelf hebben en hun maatschappelijke relevantie zwaar onderschatten. Maar eentje steekt er met kop en schouders bovenuit. #KimchiMichael
We zijn in Korea gaan uitleggen dat theater ab-so-luut niet elitair is.

In an interview with the Danish newspaper Berlingske, Denmark’s former foreign minister Per Stig Møller recounts a highly compromising story about the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Navi Pillay.
In 2008, when Denmark faced problems in Pakistan (a car bomb exploded outside the embassy) because of the Muhammad cartoons, Denmark turned to the UN - including the then High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay.
On that occasion Pillay was completely dismissive of supporting Denmark. Her only recommendation to the foreign minister was to introduce censorship. That, she said, would prevent the problem in the future.
I find it shocking that an opponent of freedom of speech can be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Reminder aan iedereen die in de Nobelprijs van Pillay het ultieme bewijs ziet dat Israël genocide pleegt: Bob Dylan won ooit de Nobelprijs voor literatuur… ‘nough said.

The Nobel committee chair says they have "great faith" in Navi Pillay's integrity, but whether the Hamas-Israel war can be called a genocide is for the ICJ to decide, not them.
Then why give the Peace Prize to the person whose commission already decided it, with no authority to do so?
This is the same Navi Pillay who:
🚩 Signed a 2020 statement calling on governments to "Sanction Israel," then was appointed a year later to chair the UN inquiry into Israel without disclosing it
🚩 Defended a fellow commissioner who said social media is "controlled largely by the Jewish lobby," calling him "deliberately misquoted." He later apologized for his antisemitism himself
🚩 Ran the 2009 Durban conference that Ahmadinejad opened with an antisemitic speech, after dismissing Jewish groups' warnings as a "lobbying campaign"
🚩 Criticized the US in 2014 for funding Iron Dome to protect Israeli civilians from rockets, with no mention of Hamas firing them
They handed her the world's most famous honour two days after the October 7 anniversary and then said they're not taking a position on what she's known for.
So what do they mean by "peace"?

Zo diepgaand kan opera zijn 😉En toch werkt het.
Dat de werken in Gent Sint Pieters lang duren was al duidelijk. Dat het resultaat spuuglelijk zal zijn wordt nu ook duidelijk.
