Na de Tweede Kamer is er ook in de Eerste Kamer een meerderheid voor een verbod op 'homogenezing'. Volgende week wordt er gestemd, maar in een debat vandaag tekent zich een meerderheid af voor de initiatiefwet van D66 en VVD die dat regelt. Als de wet ingaat wordt het strafbaar om homoseksuelen en transgender personen onder dwang therapie of gebedsgenezing te laten ondergaan, om zo hun seksuele voorkeur of genderidentiteit te veranderen. Partijen als GroenLinks-PvdA, VVD, D66, SP en Partij voor de Dieren strijden al lang voor een verbod op de 'genezingen', die ook wel 'conversiehandelingen' worden genoemd. Overtreders van de wet riskeren straks forse boetes of twee jaar cel. Daarmee hopen de partijen dat de ellende voor mensen die de 'genezingen' moeten ondergaan wordt voorkomen. 'Ernstig lijden' Voor aanvang van het debat bood COC Nederland, de belangenvereniging voor de lhbti-gemeenschap, een petitie aan de senatoren aan. Hierin verzoeken 8000 ondertekenaars de Eerste Kamerleden het wetsvoorstel te steunen. Belangenorganisatie COC schat in dat er zo'n vijftien aanbieders van de conversiehandelingen actief zijn. Het gebeurt meestal in orthodoxe gemeenschappen waar homoseksualiteit en het zijn van transgender als ziekte worden gezien. Duizenden mensen zouden deze behandelingen ondergaan, ze ondervinden vaak heftige gevolgen. De mensenrechtencommissie van de Verenigde Naties concludeerde eerder dat de praktijken ernstig lijden veroorzaken. 'Af en toe gesprek niet strafbaar' Door de wet wordt de vrijheid van godsdienst scherper begrensd: niet alleen worden de 'genezingen' verboden, ook voor geestelijken, pastoraal werkers en religieuze organisaties komen er grenzen aan hoe ze moeten omgaan met jongeren die twijfelen over hun seksuele geaardheid. De Raad van State was eerder kritisch op de oorspronkelijke wet. Die schreef onder meer dat een verbod moeilijk handhaafbaar is. Ook hadden sommige partijen zorgen dat docenten, geestelijken en jeugdwerkers voor gesprekken met jongeren bestraft zouden kunnen worden. Daarop pasten de initiatiefnemers het wetsvoorstel aan. Alleen het op indringende wijze en stelselmatig inpraten op mensen om hun geaardheid te veranderen wordt strafbaar. Af en toe een gesprek hierover, met een geestelijke of een jeugdwerker, wordt niet strafbaar. Mede door die aanpassingen lijkt nu toch een meerderheid voor de wet te zijn. Scholen houden ook de vrijheid om vanuit hun levensbeschouwing onderwijs te geven, ook over seksuele geaardheid, zei VVD-Tweede Kamerlid Becker. Zij is één van de indieners van de wet. Afkeuren van iets wordt niet strafbaar, indringend en stelselmatig op iemand inpraten om te veranderen wel, aldus Becker. Sommige partijen in de Eerste Kamer zetten nog steeds vraagtekens bij wat nu wel en niet verboden wordt. Ze stelden voor de aangepaste wet opnieuw naar de Raad van State te sturen, maar daar was geen meerderheid voor. De BBB, in de Tweede Kamer nog voorstander van de wet, trekt de steun in de Eerste Kamer in. De partij is niet meer overtuigd van de werking van de wet, mede vanwege de bezwaren van de Raad van State. Het kabinet is dat wel: minister Van Weel (VVD) van Justitie zei tegen de senatoren dat het kabinet het voorstel steunt. Over de uitvoerbaarheid maakt hij zich geen grote zorgen en de inhoud past bij wat in het coalitieakkoord is afgesproken, aldus Van Weel.
Ultraorthodoxe in der Koalition treiben die Auflösung des Parlaments voran – obwohl sowieso Ende Oktober gewählt würde. Sie zielen damit nicht nur auf einen früheren Wahltermin.
In der Koalition von Regierungschef Netanyahu gibt es Streit, die Ultraorthodoxen pochen deshalb auf einen früheren Wahltermin. Eine weitere Hürde auf dem Weg ist nun genommen.

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox demonstrated across Israel on Monday, blocking roads and trains and setting cars on fire to protest mandatory enlistment in Israel's military.

Israel’s attorney general warned on Monday of the country’s democratic backsliding under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, specifically regarding the judiciary’s independence and the executive’s disregard for court rulings. Gali Baharav-Miara, who also serves as the government’s legal adviser, has clashed with Netanyahu’s government since it took office in late 2022. “Given the approach of the end of the current Knesset’s term, a race has begun to eliminate democratic institutions,” Baharav-Miara said at a conference of the Israeli Bar Association on Monday. She pointed specifically to two bills currently travelling through Israel’s parliament. The first aims to split the attorney general’s powers by creating a “prosecutor general” position appointed by the justice minister. The second bill aims to grant far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir more powers over the police. Speaking at the conference in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, Baharav-Miara also denounced what she said was the government’s general disregard for court rulings, according to a statement from her office. “In a situation where the government calls for court rulings not to be obeyed, the day is not far off when a court judgment will be perceived by the public as non-binding,” she said. Baharav-Miara was referring in part to the government’s inaction in implementing military conscription for Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, who until recently were exempted from serving in the army. Israel’s Supreme Court has repeatedly challenged the exemption in recent years, culminating in a 2024 ruling that the government must conscript ultra-Orthodox men. Netanyahu, however, relies on the support of ultra-Orthodox parties to sustain his government and so has fought efforts to end the exemption. “It is not possible, from a legal standpoint, to cooperate with a situation in which, on the one hand, the government increases the burden on those who serve, while on the other hand it permits mass draft evasion, and some would even say encourages it,” Baharav-Miara said.

THERE was more than a hint of trepidation when Donald Trump declared last week that he would not attend his firstborn son’s wedding because he was too caught up in matters of state, including the paused assault against Iran. It wouldn’t be out of character, claimed an American wit, for Trump to invade Cuba as an excuse for avoiding the matrimonial festivities. There was also speculation that the latest Gulf war might resume — which indeed partially occurred on Monday, albeit with no Iranian response until the time of writing, and despite the flurry of diplomatic activity. Nothing new happened on the Cuban front either, but Cuba’s status as the next target for trumped-up imperialism remains intact. Last week’s revelation of a facetious indictment against Raúl Castro over Cuba’s defensive action against the invasion of its airspace by a CIA-sponsored entity suggested that the Trump regime might be planning to re-establish its hegemony over the island by kidnapping its former president in an operation akin to the abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. It’s more than likely that Fidel Castro would have been the primary target, had he not died 10 years ago. His birth centenary will be celebrated in August. Raúl turns 95 next week. It wouldn’t be surprising if he has no intention of being captured alive by the North American monster Cuba has been confronted with since long before its transformative 1959 revolution. In the early years of the revolution, Raúl and his comrade-in-arms Ernesto Guevara came across as more inclined towards communism than Fidel, whose youthful past lay in the student wing of a bourgeois-democratic party. The latter was briefly seen as someone the US could do business with. Once the revolutionary government shut down US-owned casinos and bordellos, and nationalised properties belonging to US MNCs, the mood changed. By the time the likes of Nikita Khrushchev, Jawaharlal Nehru and Malcolm X were embracing Fidel at his Harlem hotel in New York in September 1960, US agencies were already planning his murder. Fidel’s 4.5-hour speech at the UN — still a record — did not endear him to either the official or the criminal stalwarts of the host nation. The mafia that had lost its lucrative operations in Havana was involved. None of the 600-plus assassination plots succeeded. Cuba’s status as the next target remains intact. Fidel gave the reins of government to his younger brother in 2006. Raúl was seen as less orthodox. He introduced himself to Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela’s funeral in 2013, and three years later Obama became the first sitting US president to visit Cuba. Fidel, by then the maximum leader emeritus, was less than enthusiastic. It’s hard to fault his foresight, given the thaw didn’t last. It was back to square one with the advent of Trump, whose short-lived national security aide wrote up a plan for overrunning Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, the three thorns in America’s rear flank. Nicaragua’s 1979 Sandinista revolution overthrew the US-backed Somoza dictatorship. Washington responded with the brutal Contra rebels, whom Ronald Reagan compared to his nation’s founding fathers. The Sandinistas were overthrown via electoral means, but by the time Daniel Ortega returned to power in 2007, he had evolved from a revolutionary into a reactionary. Unlike Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez, who survived a US-backed coup attempt in 2002 but eventually succumbed to cancer. He made the mistake of ordaining Maduro as his successor. Despite the errors of the latter’s ways, evidence of his predecessor’s influence can still be found in the favelas of Caracas and beyond. Who can say how Delcy Rodríguez or her sponsors will choose to crush it. The Trump regime’s rampage through Latin America includes plots against Mexico and Colombia, which are still ruled by left-leaning parties. Unsurprisingly, the Honduras-gate leaks implicate Israel in the plot to obliterate progressive tendencies across Latin America. Time will tell, but so far there is no guarantee that the ‘hege-moron’s’ mischief in America’s ‘backyard’ and beyond will cease in 2028, given that the Democratic alternative has been equally repulsive. Over the decades, the Cuban revolution has had its ups and downs. Its health and education initiatives remain unmatched. Its eagerness to share its achievements with the rest of the world, not least through deploying doctors where they are most needed, is unique. As a Cuban surgeon recently commented while acknowledging his nation’s shortcomings, “Cuba is not a failed state waiting to be rescued. Cuba is a people — brilliant, stubborn, generous and vibrant — who have refused for 65 years to become someone else’s market.” More than 65 years of US sanctions may yet succeed in strangling the remains of the revolution, but there remains a small chance the revolution will survive Marco Rubio’s worst intentions. mahir.dawn@gmail.com Published in Dawn, May 27th, 2026
