Just watching the coverage, scary times.

 

i spent some time in Holland and the Police may seem laid back but if things kick off they do not mess around, I assume this is still the case.

Anne Frank Museum Closed To Tourists As 1000 Jews Currently Hiding In Attic

 

AMSTERDAM — The Anne Frank House, a historic landmark with attached museum, announced today that it was currently closed to tourists following a slew of anti-semitic attacks in the area, leading to a sudden influx of approximately 1,000 Jews hiding in the building's attic.


"Sorry, folks, the museum is closed," Museum Curator Ezekiel Steinberg said.  "We are, uh, beyond capacity.  But don't worry, as soon as it's safe for Jews to come out of hiding again, we'll open back up."  [...]

The police is terrible in The Netherlands, and got even worse after many of the good ones left in the Corona period because they did not agree with the way protesters were treated. I have to dig deep into my memory to remember when the police was actually fair and decent. Of course there are good ones, but way too many of them are quitting or are thinking about it.

 

The riots in Amsterdam were soccer riots. There are soccer riots on a regular basis in The Netherlands with lots and lots of violence and vandalism, it has been a problem for years. Besides this, Amsterdam has a mayor who is completely incompetent and has no idea what on earth she is doing. She is too concerned with DEI hires and climate change BS to run the biggest city in The Netherlands. They knew this was going south days upfront and they were ill prepared. Besides all that, there is a growing problem in The Netherlands with Muslim immigrants causing riots in the cities and law enforcement not doing anything because they either want to be politically correct or they are afraid of the mobs. The so called 'Mocro (Moroccan) Mafia' is no joke in The Netherlands. As a Dutch person I am a bit irritated that this is world news because it's Jewish people who are being attacked so it's antisemitism (with references to Anne Frank and ridiculously being compared to Kristallnacht like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris dared to compare J6 to 9/11), but all the Dutch people who have been attacked (elderly being robbed, stores being robbed, home invasions and burglaries, women and girls being assaulted and raped or pulled into the sex trafficking industry by lover boys) are mostly being  ignored and those who do speak up about it are being portrayed as racists. Crime is skyrocketing, my old town is holding a crazy amount of immigrants who have no respect for the Dutch or the Dutch culture at all. Police does nothing because 'racism'. But if you're Dutch and you are protesting corona masks they kick you to the ground until you're bleeding and then send their K9 your way. 

So I absolutely do not condone what happened recently in Amsterdam, but to me the media just saw an opportunity to claim more antisemitism for the race-baiting 'divide and conquer' bingo card of 2024 while they completely ignore the other problems. I surely do not want to generalize because clearly not all Muslims are like that. I know many of them who are absolutely lovely an hard working people who love The Netherlands. But that doesn't mean there is no problem with certain Muslim communities. And the media is very good at avoiding the deeper lying issue while headlining that 'Antisemitism is on the rise'. As if there EVER was a time we all remember where Muslims and Jews sat around the fireplace together singing kumbaya. The hatred goes both ways, but you're not allowed to say that.

From what I saw and heard things were ok in the Stadium, the rioters had no connection with the game.

 

Fascinating to watch societies destroying themselves, well sad as well.

Years ago, someone said that Muslims would become peaceful and jihad would end if civilized countries banded together and dropped planeloads and planeloads of Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazines over all Muslim territory.
