Letter: Amsterdam: Anti-Zionism’s Latest Pogrom

Dear editor:

For those anti Zionist Jews who shun Israel, which Article 80 of the United Nations Charter declares “the reconstituted homeland of the Jewish people”, let them walk the streets of Amsterdam identified as a Jew and see how many minutes it takes for the good people of Europe to bash their heads in. November 7 proved beyond any doubt that one can draw a straight line from the pogroms of Kishinev and Kristellnacht to the pogrom of Amsterdam. All of which demonstrate that European “law enforcement” turns a blind eye when Jews are terrorized as they have done in every pogrom for over 100 years.

Of course Holland’s ludicrous open borders policy which has invited in the words of Dutch President Gert Wilders “multi cultural scum” to infect Holland and eliminate the possibility of safety for Jews is sweeping across Ireland, England, France and most of the rest of Western Europe. In fact, this “multicultural scum” on Whatsapp called for a “jew hunt” in Amsterdam.

(See: “Amsterdam Pogrom is the Quintessence of Anti- Zionism”, Seth Mandel, Commentary Magazine, 11/8/24).

Of course the Hebron pogrom of November 1929 is just another murderous example of anti-Zionism.

To support anti Zionism is to celebrate these pogroms as all progressives by virtue of their  anti-Zionist diatribes do today. Ironically the anti-Zionist International Criminal Court is not far from where this latest anti-Zionist pogrom occurred. 

November 7 in Amsterdam makes clear to all Jews who do not wallow in anti Zionism that the only safe place for Jews is Israel.
