Israeli President Isaac Herzog got a firsthand view of how the Palestinian “resistance” outside of Israel has begun to torment Jews globally, even at a Holocaust museum — despite the horrors of the Holocaust, in which the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem collaborated with Hitler.
Although the report below states that “The protest leaders emphasized they were against Herzog’s presence, not the museum and what it commemorates,” it is obvious that they were attempting to downplay their malignant intent, since the protestors also chanted “Never again is now.” That chant is particularly repulsive given the occasion. As stated in the Jerusalem Post: Hamas’s October 7 massacre shows that Never Again was a lie. Meanwhile, Dutch politician Geert Wilders met with Herzog “and pledged his full support to Israel in fighting terrorism.” Wilders is still struggling to form a coalition to become the Netherlands’ next prime minister; potential coalition partners are afraid to arouse the ire of Islamic supremacists by supporting a government with Wilders. They apparently do not realize that appeasement only emboldens them.
All across the West, pro-Hamas demonstrators are disrupting cities with their “From the River to the Sea” campaign, in the wake of the worst atrocity Jews have experienced since the Holocaust. And they are being tolerated despite their overt incitement. Much of this tolerance is owed to the success of Muslim lobbies which have successfully deployed the “Islamophobia” subterfuge. Pandering Western politicians also fear losing the Muslim vote.
“Palestinian protesters gather as Amsterdam opens Holocaust museum,” Euronews, March 10, 2024:
The protest leaders emphasized they were against the Israeli president’s presence, not the museum.
The Netherlands opened the National Holocaust Museum on Sunday with a ceremony presided over by the Dutch king as well as Israeli President Isaac Herzog, whose presence prompted protest because of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
The museum in Amsterdam tells the stories of some of the 102,000 Jews who were deported from the Netherlands and murdered in Nazi camps, as well as the history of their structural persecution under German World War II occupation before the deportations began.
The museum “gives a face and a voice to the Jewish victims of persecution in the Netherlands,” the Dutch King Willem-Alexander said in the address at the inaugural ceremony on Sunday. It also “shows us the devastating consequences that antisemitism can have,” he added.
“That is why we must continue to be aware of how things began and how they went from bad to worse,” the king said. Earlier, the king and the Israeli president visited Amsterdam’s famous Portuguese Synagogue….
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered amid tightened security at the Waterloo Square in central Amsterdam, near the museum and the synagogue, waving Palestinian flags, chanting “Never again is now,” and demanding an end of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and an immediate cease-fire in Gaza….

From the river to the sea, sweep out all the so-called “Palestinians” or philistines. What a fake. Even Jordan doesn’t want them. Start with Judea and Samaria and just push this group to the sea, restoring the Jewish People to the land promised and given to them by the Lord.

Just by looking at the protesters one can fathom their nature – frivolous, fickle, lazy, impressionable, self-righteous, naive, and stupid. They have most likely never felt pain or known suffering – and they support a group of renegade, rogue thugs, killers and torturers who burn, rape, and mutilate innocents in the name of an abominable, fictional figure that they themselves created and endowed with their own depraved character and intent.
So many are in ‘festive mode’, immersed in hedonistic pleasure – following the worldwide, spineless, ‘do-gooder’ trend like rats following the ‘Pied- Piper’. Of course, very few would realize, or even care, that Palestinian’s lot in life is largely the cumulative effect of their character traits and the choices they have made (whilst angry, dogmatic, ‘foolish’ or suffering), over the decades. Also, the ‘religion’, Islam, that these protesting idiots are indirectly supporting, is also one of the biggest causes of Palestinian suffering, for Islam robs an individual of any chance to live a happy, natural life – it deprives one of the natural inclination to act on inspiration and a free will. Their own religion has not only failed them, it has condemned them to baseless indoctrination and suffering. And blindly, sadly, they think it their greatest ‘gift’.
As such, Israel is definitely not the biggest contributor to Palestine’s lot in life. And yet these pea-brained, embarrassingly stupid demonstrators have also fallen for the nonsense of Islam clerics, Imams and scholars who say the opposite.
The world does appear to be in a downward spiral, reminiscent of the Buddhist ‘Saha world’ (suffering), characteristic of delusion, incessant cravings and hatred, jealousy, stupidity anger and suffering. ‘Friends turn on friends, relatives on relatives.’
In any case, it is sad that nobody demands Hamas to release the hostages in order to realize a ceasefire. But of course, the onus is on Israel, not on a bunch regimented killers who now appear distanced from the acts of Oct 7. How convenient that Hamas is accommodated in the overall propaganda sway. How sickening and ironical that the on-going suffering in Palestine gives all the angry extreme lefties and do-gooders a purpose in life. It fits well with their agendas.
Apologies for the sarcasm! It’s just that I find the whole thing so sickening. It does not reveal the reality. And so many obsequious officials and leaders joining this delusional, cowardly parade. It is very depressing. Maybe we really are in the ‘Saha World’?

“Never again” ….**once again*** was October 7, and continuing with Jews facing threats, persecution and death all over the place.
A “commission” on ‘religious’ freedom went to saudi arabia and the “chairman” was told by the saudis to remove his kippah. He refused and the commission was ordered to leave. So much for a thing on religious freedom.
Only if one is mozlum is there any freedom of religion.
mozlums are murdering Christians in africa….wiping them out where they are able and being helped by the ‘governments’ in their committing of slaughter.
mozlums all over the world are demanding that Israel lay down their weapons and stick out their necks until no more Jews are living.
But these idiots in Amsterdam are trying to say it’s the mozlums who are the targets of genocide. How twisted can these people be?
Where do the hordes get the money to travel, to take off from their jobs, in order to go and harass someone in this manner?

Does Netherlands have a prime minister, or did Geert Wilders throw in the towel? Is it now being run by the king?
Red Bee says
The dutch prime minister is Mark Rutte. His party lost the elections but he is still pm until a new government is formed.
As for Geert Wilders; he must get results now because he will not get a second chance.
