On Thursday evening, thousands of supporters are gathering at the Stopera in Amsterdam, waving Israeli and Dutch flags, to demonstrate solidarity with the Jewish community and speak out against the alarming surge in antisemitism in the Netherlands.
The rally, organized by Christians for Israel and other pro-Israel organizations, has become a powerful show of unity and resistance against hatred.
Surge in antisemitism across the Netherlands
In recent months, the Netherlands has witnessed a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents, particularly following the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
According to the Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI), there have been numerous reports of attacks on Jewish individuals, graffiti defacing synagogues and Jewish institutions, and antisemitic chants at protests. Social media platforms have also seen a disturbing rise in hate speech targeting the Jewish community.
One of the most shocking recent events occurred during pro-Palestinian demonstrations, where chants of "Death to Jews" were heard in public squares—an act that drew widespread condemnation from Dutch officials and citizens.
The situation has left many in the Jewish community feeling vulnerable, leading to heightened security measures at Jewish schools, synagogues, and cultural centers.
