Three steps to combat antisemitism in Europe after Amsterdam’s “raid.”
Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police earlier in the day at Amsterdam's central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests.
Dutch police had reported that they arrested 63 rioters during the Thursday night pogrom.
Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
Today, maintaining a stable order is crucial to preserving liberty. The pogrom in Amsterdam should serve as a wake-up call and a mandate for action.
Reports found one of the main protest organizers to be PGNL, a prominent member of the extensive Hamas-affiliated network in the Netherlands, led by a self-described former teacher at UNWRA.
Sure, Israel is under attack, has been at war, and it’s far from perfect. But it is the land that will take in and protect Jews, and that is something that didn’t exist in 1939.
On Sunday afternoon, the city of Amsterdam posted on X that protesters who defied the ban would be arrested.
“EL AL undertook to aid the Israeli public and the state and will continue to do so when needed,” the company said Saturday.
The President of the Porto Jewish Community, Gabriel Senderowicz, stated that "Kristallnacht is not part of history but happening today. The way to fight antisemitism is to educate the youth."
