It is deeply troubling to see elements of a hateful BDS agenda increasingly finding their way into municipal policy discussions in Amsterdam. It seems a municipality is trying to overstep the national government in order to single out Israeli companies. This is inappropriate,

I had a open and cordial meeting with @DefensieMin Dilan Yeşilgöz. We spoke about the current situation in the ME and the destabilising threat of the Iranian regime. I raised concerns about growing Antisemitism in the Netherlands and the festering antisemetic and anti-israeli

Spectators who came tonight to Kanye West's concert in Arnhem had to confront the poisonous hate he has been spewing for years. The CJO installation made it clear. Can antisemitism be normalized to such an extent? The promise "Never again" is being tested right now.

Kanye West is going to perform in the Netherlands tomorrow. In a country facing growing antisemitism, there was no way to stop this outspoken antisemite, whose statements would fit into any Nazi publication. The Jewish community, with our moral support, is expressing its anger

Congratulations to Israeli photographer Roie Galitz on his recognition at the World Press Photo 2026 awards. A remarkable achievement: Galitz spent two days on a small boat to observe the scene in order to make the perfect shot. Wishing him continued success and many more

Honored to host "Zikaron BaSalon" in my home in The Hague and to hear Ellen Roos Brucker share the remarkable story of her parents who survived the Holocaust. The second generation carries the torch of memory. We must remeber to keep history alive. This is important especially

Mayor Halsema made a dramatic choice yesterday: to embrace a one-sided, historically false narrative over facts. In doing so, she chose to ignore the suffering of Israelis and Jews over the past 80 years. She omits the fact that the Jews accepted the 1947 UN partition plan

TV program 'De Joodse Wereld' paid tribute to beloved Eurovision winner #LennyKuhr. Forced by a hostile climate, the singer is saying goodbye to the Netherlands and moving to Israel. A moment of reckoning: while I am happy to welcome Lenny to Israel, I am clearly aware that the

It is deeply shameful that Lenny Kuhr’s performance at the Rosa Spier Huis has been cancelled. A Jewish artist who gave decades to Dutch cultural life now feels forced to leave the Netherlands because of a growing hostile climate - and the coward decision of Rosa Spier Huis led

Wat een intens trieste actie. Onbegrijpelijk dat ons Nationaal Monument op de Dam vernield wordt. Juist op de dag dat we onze doden en degenen die vielen voor onze vrijheid herdenken. Dit is totaal respectloos en onacceptabel. nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/359507/…

.@RPlasterk asks the question too many in The Hague avoid: how else is Israel supposed to defend itself against Hamas, a terror organization that started this war and vows to repeat October 7 until Israel is destroyed?
