As you could read in the catalog ‘Flying kits with CAESUUR’ on www.caesuur.nu, I invited 20 fellow artists for the idea of 'flying kites with CAESUUR'. On October 20 we gave it a try on the beach in Vlissingen. The alderman of the city of Flushing [ Vlissingen ] for the Elderly Party 50 Plus, Rens Reijnierse, in a personal capacity visited the presentation on the beach on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Since there was hardly any wind, the kite flying did not went very well, so teamCAESUUR improvised a popup exhibition there and then. Reijnierse tweeted “Kites on the beach. Beautiful autumn day in Vlissingen, no wind, so the kites do not fly Project for Palestine succeeded.” The local alt right-wing populist party POV – Perspective On Vlissingen immediately grinded: Dear College of B & W, dear colleagues of the Council Here is a reaction from the fraction of POV Perspective On Vlissingen in response to reports in the PZC of 21 October last. It concerns the article 'Heavenly Vernissage (sic) for Gaza'. We quote the initiator according to the PZC: 'When flying kites, you think of children playing. This is not the case in Gaza. A kite is seen as a terrorist weapon by the Israeli army. ' Well, the initiators apparently have completely failed to notice that the kites on the beach are clearly and deliberately a symbol for the kites which have been sent daily from Gaza to Israel with burning objects and explosives for months. These terror pilots seriously endanger the lives of both humans and animals and have destroyed many dozen square kilometers of natural and agricultural land. A kite from Gaza IS a terrorist weapon. The fraction of POV Perspective On Vlissingen wants to inform you that we are strongly opposing and renouncing such anti-Semitic and politically correct 'art projects' on the Vlissingen bathing beach. We do not wish for a definite Vlissingse support for terrorists, no 'playful' or 'artistic' pilots openly decorated with Nazi symbols. We are of the opinion that the 'art project' has nothing to do with VVMU. This is public support for anti-Semitism and the glorification of terror. Absolutely inappropriate, totally reprehensible and totally unacceptable. However, it gets worse. Alderman Reijnierse in all his wisdom last Saturday thought to support this so-called 'vernissage' as witnessed by the following expression on Twitter; 'Kites on the beach. Beautiful autumn day in Vlissingen, no wind, so the pilots do not fly. Project for Palestine succeeded '.
