Dutch unveil plan to fight antisemitism, two weeks after attacks on Israeli fans
|
 [IsraelTimes] The Dutch government has launched a new plan to tackle antisemitism, two weeks after mob attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam that shocked the world.
The cabinet earmarked an additional 4.5 million euros ($4.7 million) annually for the plan, some of which will go towards stepping up security at Jewish sites.
“Unfortunately, anti-Semitism has increased further in the Netherlands in the past year. And the events in Amsterdam two weeks ago have shown that very clearly to the Netherlands,” says Justice Minister David van Weel.
In the early hours of November 8, visiting supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv were assaulted in various parts of the city following calls on social media to attack them.
The violence sparked outrage in Israel and among Dutch politicians, who described them as antisemitic.
The government strategy also calls for the establishment of an antisemitism taskforce, tougher laws on “glorifying terrorism” and a probe into violence during protests. Football fans will also be targeted in a bid to eradicate antisemitic chanting in stadiums.
The strategy is “a combination of repression and prevention,” Prime Minister Dick Schoof tells reporters at a regular weekly briefing.
“We have found the right balance.”
Probably not, when you’re eager to arrest the chief executive of the only Jewish state for defending his people against vicious attackers, but whatevs.
