This platform is headed by anti-Israel zealots (including some Jews). They are financed by many mainstream political and religious organizations.Their strategy is/was to dejudaize and trivialize the Holocaust. It was an unfortunate coincidence that Jews were targeted. The Palestinians are the "Jews" of today and the Israelis are the Nazis. By separating Israel from the Holocaust, they hope to remove any sympathy people might have for Israel.
No, do not shout "Amsterdam" yet. There is more.
Last year the platform of Israel-haters held their desecration at the monument for Jewish resistance. The descendants of the Jewish resistance wanted to protest this hijacking of their monument.The police threatened to arrest them if they demonstrated as this would desecrate the "dignity" of the event.

This year a Jewish group was clever and claimed the Jewish resistance monument. So what did the haters do? They found a gullible synagogue and booked that for their Kristallnacht travesty. When the synagogue realized who the group was, they tried to cancel the booking. They could not because they were afraid of being hit with a big claim for damages.

Remember, this year a Jewish group had reserved the Jewish resistance monument for their commemoration of Kristallnacht. The descendants of Jewish resistance fighters were going to speak there. The mayor of Amsterdam and the police have forbidden this commemoration on the grounds that it would disrupt the "public order".
Now is the time to shout "Amsterdam".
