This is a very disturbing article appearing this week in the Dutch daily, De Telegraaf. As anti-Semitism spreads worldwide by those who support the monsters of Hamas even after the horrific massacres carried out on October 7, Jewish children in the Netherlands are reporting being harassed. Some Jewish parents are already removing their children from public schools in favor of Jewish schools.
I am sure it is not Dutch schoolchildren who are making life miserable for their Jewish classmates. The Dutch are a tolerant people, who have a long history of giving refuge to Jews. This is clearly a problem of imported anti-Semitism, now common in virtually all Western European nations who have opened their doors to millions of people who have brought with them a hatred of Jews learned from childhood.

"No words for what is now happening"
CJO: Jewish children threatened and bullied from school

Amsterdam- Jewish children are being threatened and bullied now that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has flared up. Dozens of parents have held discussions about transferring to one of the three Jewish schools in Amsterdam-Buitenveldert, reports the Central Jewish Management. The organization speaks of a "troubling trend".
"Six children have already made the change this week," says Chairman Chanan Hertzberger, Thursday to De Telegraaf. "We hope this won't become common, and we ask for action from the government. This is not just Amsterdam, but rather a national problem. That children must leave their school because they are threatened. I have no words for it. At least in France, they are taking tough action against it."
According to the CJO, the Jewish community in the Netherlands is devastated by the "lack of support" from society after the bloody terror attack by Hamas last week in southern Israel and the anti-Semitic reaction to Jews abroad. "That one cannot make the distinction between Israel and Jews. A schism has arisen: You are for or against. This is how it gets completely out of hand."
The CJO is unhappy with the action of Rotterdam city council members over a motion on Jew-hatred. According to Hertzberger, the news that the motion failed to pass hit the Jewish community like a shock. "Just that such a motion is necessary, but that several parties subsequently decided to walk away....We find it unbelievable."
Jew-hatred
Last week, anti-Semitic actions took place in Madrid, London, and Paris, among others, such as the smashing of windows in a kosher restaurant or the defacing of a synagogue. Jewish institutions were more closely monitored on the streets by security services. In France, after the massacre by Hamas, dozens of anti-Semitic incidents took place, said the Minister of Interior, Gerald Darmanin earlier.
On Thursday, the Israel Center for Information and Documentation criticized the role of some Dutch media this week after an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, likely by a Palestinian rocket. That led the same evening to protests in various cities, such as in the Hague, a couple of hundred people went to the Israeli embassy. "Police had to be deployed to guard the entrance of the embassy to ensure that protesters did not storm the embassy, as they did in Jordan."
