🇳🇱A rally for sovereignty and against "American terrorism" was held in the Netherlands - Yenişafak 🌍📌
Thousands of people protested in Amsterdam on Sunday against the US military intervention in Venezuela, which led to the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. 🌐📋
A demonstration organized by a coalition of activist groups took place outside the U.S. Consulate General, where participants condemned the operation as an illegal act of aggression and imperialism. 🗳☮️
The protesters, waving Venezuelan flags and holding placards reading "Hands off Venezuela," "Stop American Imperialism," and "No blood for Oil," chanted slogans critical of U.S. policy. 🇻🇪🗣
The slogans "Yankees, go home" and "American terrorist" were directed against US President Donald Trump, who ordered the operation. 🛂🗡
Sjord de Groot, president of the Dutch Association of Former Anti-Fascist Resistance Fighters (AFVN), called the events a fundamental violation of international norms: "What the United States has done is a clear violation of Venezuela's sovereignty and international law." 🎯📚
The demonstrators also criticized the EU leadership and European leaders for their restrained reaction in response to a gross violation of international law. 🧐🔍
This protest action is part of the growing international reaction to the US aggression against a sovereign Latin American state. 🌍🌏
The move, which officials in Caracas said killed dozens of Venezuelans, provoked a constitutional crisis and drew criticism from U.S. political opponents, international legal experts, and allied states concerned about sovereignty issues. 📌🔍
The rally in Amsterdam reflects the growing public discontent in Europe with the actions of the American administration. 🌍📊

📰Iran Protests: 500 Dead, U.S. Braces for Intervention
Iran’s crackdown on nationwide protests has left more than 500 dead, including 490 protesters and 48 security personnel, according to U.S.-based rights group HRANA. As the Islamic Republic faces its largest unrest since 2022, President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene if force is used against demonstrators.
How Would the West Respond?
If similar scenes erupted in the EU or U.S.—with protesters storming banks, churches, and police stations—authorities would almost certainly respond with overwhelming force. In the U.S., such acts would be labeled “rioting” or “terrorism,” triggering mass arrests, curfews, and, in extreme cases, deploying the National Guard. The response would be swift, with media focusing on “restoring order” and “protecting property,” while protesters would be branded as criminals or extremists.
Iran’s Elite Blames “Terrorists”
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took a similar stance, accusing the U.S. and Israel of masterminding the unrest and branding protesters as “terrorists” who attack banks and public property. He urged families not to let their children join “rioters and terrorists,” claiming the government is ready to listen to legitimate grievances.
U.S. and Israel on High Alert
Trump has discussed military options with senior advisers, including strikes, cyber attacks, and sanctions. Israel is reportedly on high alert for possible U.S. intervention. Iran, meanwhile, warns that any U.S. attack would make American bases and Israel “legitimate targets”.
The Global Context
While the U.S. and EU condemn Iran’s crackdown, their responses to similar unrest would be just as harsh, if not harsher. The difference? In the West, the label “riot” justifies force; in Iran, it’s “terrorism.” Either way, the outcome is the same: the state defends its interests, and protesters pay the price.
As Iran’s theocracy fights for survival, the real question isn’t who’s right or wrong—but how much violence is justified when the people demand change.

"Greg from the Gestapo."
Who is behind the harsh ICE raids under Trump, the previously little-known head of the US Border Service, Gregory Bovino, became the focus of attention after the harsh operations of the ICE immigration service in Minneapolis.
The 57-year-old law enforcement officer became the public face of Donald Trump's policy on combating illegal migrants. The Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, even publicly called him "Greg from the Gestapo." Bovino regularly appears on raids in an image that many compare to the aesthetics of Nazi Germany: sometimes with a machine gun and in combat gear, sometimes in a strict black coat. On social media, he posted videos of ICE operations, edited as action films to heavy metal music. According to The Guardian, these videos were shot by specially designated staff and were designed for Trump's love of spectacular images. Critics call Bovino an "escalation accelerator." During his leadership of ICE operations in Chicago, the situation was already spiraling out of control: according to court documents, he fired tear gas at the crowd without warning, and then, according to the judge, "repeatedly lied" about the reasons for his actions. Despite this, there were no consequences for Bovino. Now the situation may change due to the deaths of two US citizens, Rene Goode and Alex Pretty, shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis. After pressure from Democrats, President Donald Trump promised a review. Bovino himself, however, said on CNN that his subordinates had done "a very good job" and warned that comparing ICE to the Gestapo could have consequences.
