Can the COVID-19 Mandates be Compared to the 1930s?

 

Already in May of 2021, Dutch politician Thierry Baudet criticized the measures taken by the Dutch government concerning the coronavirus. His party was one of nine critical groups that showed criticism by means of a poster depicting the freedom torch symbolizing the liberation of the Netherlands by the Allied Forces in 1945. Yet the poster also showed that in 2020 the freedom was again lost because of the coronavirus. There was an outrage expressed by the director of the Centre for Information and Documentation of Israel in Amsterdam, CIDI.

Now, 7 months later Thierry Baudet compared the handling of the corona crisis by the government to the 1930s in Germany when new laws came into effect that considered Jews as second rate citizens not being allowed to enter shops and certain sections of the city and could not freely participate in society, in everyday life.

 

Thierry Baudet, leader of Forum for Democracy, was speaking about the situation in the Netherlands which is getting worse but not as bad as in Austria (no wonder!) where each and every citizen has to be fully vaccinated by February 2022.

 

The Euractive website mentions:

"Austrian residents who refuse to get their COVID-19 jab from February when they will be mandatory will face fines of up to €7,200, a draft of Austria’s COVID-19 vaccination law reveals." 

Germany will be going in that same direction.
A headline on CNN reads:

"Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory."

You see, these two countries haven't learned much from the past.

Now, Dutch politician Baudet is against any mandate and against any lockdowns not even for specific groups.
In several tweets Baudet compared the 1930s to the Covid-19 mandates and measures and he was subpoenaed. 
The judge decided that "Jewish lobby organization" CIDI (Centre for Information and Documentation of Israel in Amsterdam) is right. Thierry Baudet is not allowed to make comparisons between the way unvaccinated people are treated and the persecution of Jews and the Holocoust. He must delete four tweets from his Twitter-account within 48 hours. If he fails to do so, a penalty of no less than 25,000 per day will be imposed. 


The whole idea that Jewish organizations and judges can decide which comparisons are allowed and which not and also when, is of course, questionable. But the court did not take earlier comparisons into account. Thom de Graaf (currently of the Council of State) compared Pim Fortuyn (who had been demonized for several years and finally was assassinated in 2002), Thom de Graaf compared Fortuyn to Hitler in 2001. In 2010 Job Cohen (then mayor of Amsterdam) called Muslims living in the Netherlands "the new Jews" who were treated in exactly the same way as Jews before and during the Second World War. But when Baudet makes the comparison of the discriminating laws of the 1930s to CIVID-19 measures and mandates, this is judged very "offensive and needlessly hurtful" to the CIDI and a few individuals.

Baudet: By order of the Amsterdam court I have to remove these four tweets within 48 hours: (4) https://t.co/TJhbzHN6wO

It is a strange situation in the Netherlands. For many years soccer fans were left alone when they enthusiastically shouted "Hamas, Hamas, all Jews to the gas" which is only banned much later. This makes it clear that tolerance in the Netherlands does not really mean granting freedom, but in fact is only 'indifference', along the lines of "if it doesn't effect me".

Baudet is not alone. A month ago a female rabbi from Leeuwarden (Friesland) gave a speech and lecture in the same vein of Baudet's. But she was not endicted.

The aim is to demonize Baudet by calling him "extreme right" because the rest of parliament is following the dictators of WEF (Klaus Schwab), CDC (Dr. Fauci), WHO (lead by a Xi Ping puppet), Big Pharma with Bill Gates' investments, Soros, etc. There is a lot of fear in parliament that Baudet's party will grow, win more seats and will thus gain influence. And the establishment is afraid that in a couple of years there will be a tribunal and the majority of leaders and citizens will be sentenced.
