| Dorine van Norren: non-Western wisdom inspires us to re-evaluate Western thinking and its violence | 13 Mar 2025 | 00:52:00 | |
Dorine van Norren, academic researcher and civil servant at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done research into the non-Western sources for law: African, Asian and Latin American philosophies that have different concepts of life, humanity and the world. Many of these thoughts make us aware of the specific Western context in which international law has been developed and its flaws. Compared to Western philosophies, non-Western thought seems to care more for community rather than an exclusive focus on the individual. It tends to have more respect for all life and nature itself because it presents a more holistic and interconnected universe, as opposed to an alienated, alone human individual in a disconnected world. We can learn a lot from these philosophies and see where Western thinking and actions have become extremely violent, beyond the point where it can be accepted as normal.

What is the path forward? Varoufakis argues that resistance is not only necessary—it is both meaningful and, as he puts it, "fun and never futile." | |||

| Muhanad al-Qaisy on the Nakba, life under occupation in the West Bank, and the Olive Tree Campaign | 15 May 2025 | 00:46:37 | |
Dutch teacher and activist Waldo Swart speaks with Muhanad al-Qaisy, director of the Joint Advocacy Initiative and third-generation Palestinian refugee, about the intergenerational trauma of the Nakba and what it means to grow up in its aftermath. The interview unfolds Muhanad’s story in layers: his family’s forced displacement in 1948, his childhood in Deheisha refugee camp, the realities of Israeli apartheid policies in the West Bank, and his firsthand experiences of military incursions. It ends with a look at the hope he continues to plant through the Olive Tree Campaign.
This conversation is more than testimony - it is a testament to resilience, resistance, and the fight to keep hope alive. Recorded ahead of Nakba Day 2025, it reminds us that behind every statistic, there is a life lived, a memory held, and a story that must be heard. This interview was recorded during an event of Plant an Olive Tree at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, titled “From the West Bank to Gaza: The Ongoing Erasure.” Website: www.planteenolijfboom.nl Video language: English Support Peace Today: thehaguepeace.org/site/donating Peace Today is an initiative by The Hague Peace Projects | |||

| Szilvia Csevár about colonial legacies and the hidden drivers of conflict | 23 Apr 2025 | 00:44:28 | |
Jakob de Jonge interviews Szilvia Csevár about colonial legacies and the hidden drivers of conflict. They discuss capitalist development routed in colonial logic that continues to treat lands as property and perpetuate acts of war and violence against indigenous sovereignty. A disturbing pattern of profit-driven land-grabbing, supported by governments, drives violence that is not accidental, nor incidental, but systemic with the strategic aim of breaking resistance and removing people from their lands. | |||
| Professor Jon Solomon on the roots of modern genocides and their institutionalisation | 15 May 2025 | 01:00:48 | |
Jon Solomon talks about the extremely ideological and problematic common narrative of the past and how this structures our lives, choices, and view of the world today. Without an accurate version of history in the West we remain captives of a narrative that disguises fascist imperialism with a liberal democracy frame, corrupting our vocabulary and our ability to think and act towards positive change.

| Journalist en vredesactivist Reinout Koperdraat spreekt over 'vrede doen' | 06 Jun 2025 | 00:51:47 | |
Reinout Koperdraat is politicoloog (UvA) en journalist/tekstschrijver in Amsterdam en actief lid van Hart voor Vrijheid. Op verzoek van The Hague Peace Projects vertelt hij in deze video over de "oude" vredesbeweging: waar hij in de jaren tachtig samen met zijn actiekameraad Hans Straeter bedacht om minister-president Lubbers massaal de rug toe te keren tijdens de aanbieding van het Volkspetitionnement (3,7 miljoen handtekeningen). In 1986 bedacht en organiseerde hij - ook samen met Hans Straeter en met stevige hulp van radicale Brabantse vredesactivisten - een "menselijke ketting" rond de vliegbasis Woensdrecht. Dit tegen de grote gevestigde vredesorganisaties in, die zichzelf in hun zogenoemde "slaapstand" hadden gesust! Het vredesgerichte bobo-establishment (KKN, IKV, Pax Christy, Mient-Jan Faber, Maarten van Traa, e.a.) had aldus in al haar wijsheid besloten... De menselijke ketting rond de Woensdrechtse hekken werd desondanks een groot succes - wereldnieuws: met rond 20.000 vrolijke demonstranten, vele sprekers en... precies op de start van het podiumprogramma: een kring om de zon! Wellicht luisterde de Russische president Gorbatsjov óók naar onze westerse vredesbeweging...? In elk geval: die kruisraketten kwamen hier toen niet! Bekijk Reinouts' herinneringen en zijn tips voor de vredesstrijd van vandaag. | |||

| Global governments ignore humanitarian solidarity and justify genocide in Gaza | 14 Jul 2025 | 00:53:49 | |
Pieter Rambags talks to Dana Mustafa about her trip to Egypt for the March for Gaza - to show solidarity with Palestine and pressure governments (and media) to act against genocide. Instead, Dana and travellers from 36 other countries were treated like criminals, beaten, and deported by the Egyptian military. Dana is raising funds for an artificial leg for a nurse from Gaza, treated in Egypt for injuries incurred by Israeli bombing.
