‘Kanker Joden!’: Trams set alight, violence erupts in Amsterdam in second wave of antisemitic attacks against Jews in Europe
Europe has been a hotbed of antisemitic violence ever since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel took place, and over the past 72 hours in the European city of Amsterdam, it has been a literal Nazi rally on the streets. Jews are absolutely not safe there, and should leave immediately. Earlier this evening, hundreds of pro-Palestinian citizens protested in the streets shouting ‘Kanker Joden!’, which is to say that the ‘Jews are a cancer’. Adolf Hitler said the same thing back in 1935, what’s old has suddenly become new again.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)
Nazism did not die when WWII came to an end in 1945, it just went underground to wait for the right time to reemerge. Events continuing to unfold in Amsterdam shows that is alive and in 2024, and just looking for a leader. It’s a bad time to be a Jew, and according to the prophets, it’s going to get a whole lot worse very soon. Pray for the Jewish people, pray for Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police earlier in the day at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests.
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Violence erupted on the streets of Amsterdam on Monday night in the second wave of antisemitic attacks to hit the Dutch capital over the last week, according to local media reports. One of the city’s famous trams was set alight by rioters dressed in black and armed with fireworks, according to De Telegraaf. The rioters threw debris and shouted “Kanker Joden” (cancer Jews), but it is used to mean “f*** the Jews.”
Rioters reportedly burned a tram in the city’s western suburbs and clashed with police earlier in the day. A police spokesman said a tram at the ’40-’45 Square in the west part of Amsterdam had caught fire, likely caused by fireworks thrown at it. The windows of the tram were shattered. No one was injured in the incident, as the tram had been empty, the spokesman said.
Masked men reportedly roamed the streets yelling “Free Palestine.” De Telegraaf reported that journalists witnessed a bystander being ripped from his bike and beaten by the rioters. Geert Wilders, leader of the PVV, responded to the events by saying, “After the Jew-hunt, the Intifada.”
Wilders has been a strong defender of Israel and the Netherlands’s Jewish population while being deeply critical of Dutch immigration and integration policy.
Wilders heads the Dutch Parliament’s largest party, the Party for Freedom (PVV); however, due to being an extremely controversial figure within Dutch politics, he was blocked from becoming Prime Minister or even a minister. Instead, Wilders helped organize the ruling bloc and assisted in steering policies, in effect being the de facto Prime Minister.
Amsterdam was rocked by a pogrom that targeted Jews and Israelis in the city immediately after the soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Dutch team Ajax.
Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police on Monday at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests, according to Deutsche Welle. Following the attack, the city announced a three-day ban on all demonstrations to maintain public order. Furthermore, the government had announced it would hold stricter border control until December 9.
Hundreds of people defied the ban, which had been upheld by a local court earlier in the day. They chanted “Free Palestine” and “Shame on you” and called for an end to the war in Gaza. READ MORE
One unconscious man is kicked in the back. Another pleads for mercy in a narrow alleyway before being punched in the head. And a third Israeli citizen is made to shout “Free Palestine” after jumping into a canal to save himself. Amsterdam is reeling from what has been called a “Jew hunt” and “pogrom” on its streets that has rekindled memories of Europe’s darkest hours. After Maccabi Tel Aviv had played a Europa League match against Ajax on Thursday night, Israeli fans were chased with knives, humiliated and assaulted across the Dutch capital.
