Islam in Europe > Are super-protests in the UK backfiring on Hamas supporters? Geert Wilders' jump in Polls just before Elections

 

After UK Pro-Hamas ‘Ceasefire’ Riots,

‘Ceasefire’ Support Falls From 76% to 33%

In October, the leftists and Islamists were touting a YouGov poll in which 58% of Brits said that there definitely should be a ceasefire and 18% said that there probably should be.

Current numbers are less enthusiastic with only 33% urging a push for a ceasefire.

Now granted these are YouGov polls, which are not exactly the height of scientific polling, and they don’t ask quite the same questions, but there’s still a diminution in enthusiasm for saving Hamas that seems counterintuitive. Normally last month should have been the highest level of support for taking out Hamas with the numbers getting worse from there.

And it’s not as if there’s a groundswell of support for Israel, but there’s distinctly less enthusiasm for a ceasefire.

What could have brought that one?

Let’s see, maybe it was Islamists and leftists running wild while the Met Police let them get away with it and arrested anyone who stood up to them?

After weeks of screaming about a ceasefire while wrecking things, a ceasefire became actually less popular.

Unfortunately, the protests are likely to be having an effect on the government which often runs well behind the people in common sense decisions.



Netherlands: Geert Wilders’ party soars to

first place tie ahead of this week’s general election 

Leftist parties in the Netherlands are desperate, and are urging people to “vote strategically” to avoid a “far-right” government.  Labels such as “far right” are intended to conjure up fear and marginalize individuals and parties as “anti-immigrant” and “racist,” when actually they advocate for legal, responsible immigration to protect Western culture, the rule of law, national security and free society.

Meanwhile, the expansionary nature of Islam for 1,400 years is a legitimate cause for concern, as are the messages that proceed from all too many mosques, advocating for Sharia, which is considered in normative Islam to divine and immutable law. How many more years of evidence do leftists need?

Geert Wilders has issued steady warnings about open-door, unvetted migration from Muslim countries, as well as about the inherent violent and expansionary nature of Islam. He’s backed up by plenty of evidence. When Islam is deemed to be insulted, the alleged perpetrator cannot live in peace, but is in real danger of violence and even execution. This includes Wilders himself. Everywhere he goes, he is surrounded by security personnel.

Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) is now tied for first place with Mark Rutte’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). A snap election was triggered after the fall of Rutte’s globalist government; Rutte announced his retirement in July over a dispute on immigration policy, after thirteen years in power, thus collapsing his cabinet. Early general elections are scheduled for Wednesday November 22.

People are finally starting to wake up on many levels to the truth about vast, unvetted, illegal Muslim migration and its costs. The October 7 horror that Hamas inflicted on Israel is causing further concern. Now Jews cannot even live in peace in Western countries. Muslim nations stand with their Palestinian brothers against Israel, against Jews, and against the West, as they encourage pro-Palestinian rage everywhere. Hostile groups who threaten and intimidate Jews and disrupt the peace of everyone else chant “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine will be free” — a call to obliterate Israel.

The economy is another pressing issue. Reckless immigration policies are unsustainable as Western taxpayers struggle to make ends meet, especially since COVID.

Citizens of Western countries can also see that while the UN and globalists slammed countries that refused to go along with the UN Migration Pact and open-door policies for mostly Muslim migrants, the Arab countries nearest to Israel, including Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, refuse to take in Palestinian Muslim refugees.


Far-right Party for Freedom makes gains in poll

ahead of Netherlands election

by Senay Baztas, Guardian, November 19, 2023:

Leftwing parties in the Netherlands have urged people to vote strategically to avoid a far-right government after a poll showed last-minute gains for Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV).

Is the sudden jump in the polls for Wilders a consequence of the frightening marches by Hamas supporters around Europe? Are Europeans waking up to the danger that lurks among them? Have they begun to realize that Muslims can be triggered into Islamic hysteria at the drop of a hat?  

Wilders, whose manifesto calls for an asylum “stop” and ban on “Islamic schools, Qu’rans [sic] and mosques”, said it was a “game changer” when a poll on Saturday evening put him level with Mark Rutte’s party, the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD).

The pollster Maurice de Hond – who overestimated Wilders’ share by five seats in the last election – found in a survey of almost 7,000 people on 17 November that the PVV and VVD were neck and neck in 26 of the 150 seats, thanks to a five-seat surge for Wilders after an aggressive performance in a television debate.

Pollsters pointed out that two other major polls are coming out on Monday and Tuesday. Sjoerd van Heck, of Ipsos, said that if Wilders has surged in all of the last polls, including its own, “a rallying effect of leftist voters seeking to block a PVV-led government is likely to happen”.

Since the new head of Rutte’s party, Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, said early in the campaign that she would not, like Rutte, exclude the PVV from coalition negotiations, Wilders has taken an intermittently milder tone. In an interview with the current affairs programme Nieuwsuur, he promised concessions on anti-Islam polities, but has never apologised for calling for “fewer Moroccans” in a 2014 speech for which he has a criminal record.

Leftwing leaders were quick to warn progressive voters to vote strategically for the centre parties. Frans Timmermans, the European heavyweight who is leading a new coalition of Labour and the GreenLeft, said: “It’s clear that Ms Yeşilgöz has opened the door for Wilders in the government. This would mean someone participates in running the country who dismisses a million Dutch [Muslims] as second-class citizens.”…
