I mean, the Netherlands deports people, everyone does. It certainly has negative connotations, but there’s an implication of this being a process. Maybe not a fair process, maybe there’s corruption, but you get some kind of chance to argue why you shouldn’t be deported
This isn’t that. Their taking people, many of them here legally, and rounding them up by proximity and skin color. Even citizens, though so far we have no known cases of citizens being held more than a few days.
They’re holding them in inhumane ways that, by international definition, classify as torture. Then, for an indeterminate amount of time, they’re shuffled around so no one knows where they are - no access to family, no access to lawyers
Finally, they’re shackled, both hands and feet, and strapped into military cargo planes. Hopefully heading back to their home country, or at least somewhere where they speak the language
This isn’t deportations. This is not the legal process and physical acts of removing someone from the county… This is something entirely different
Ye but like I said, here in the Netherlands, and I think across Europe people will automatically think of jews being sent to extermination camps like Auschwitz. Look at the dutch wikipedia page on deportation, the second paragraph explains that the term could technically be used to for instance describe migrants who are sent back to their country of origin, but it isn’t used to describe that, because the term is so very much associated with the Holocaust, and so a different term (uitzetten) is used to avoid this intensely negative association. So you’ll understand my confusion when the term directly linked to the worst crime against humanity is here suggested to have a positive connotation. And I don’t think the Jews had much of a chance to argue against their deportations.
