Jerusalem, 25 November, 2024 (TPS) -- The Christians for Israel Center in Nijkerk, Netherlands, was the target of an attack on Monday morning, raising tensions ahead of an upcoming pro-Israel rally in Amsterdam.
“We are especially disheartened because this was carried out by other Christians. It’s difficult to comprehend that they don’t see the biblical truth that God is bringing His people back to their land,” said Frank van Oordt, Executive Director of Christians for Israel Netherlands.
Protesters from Extinction Rebellion, Justice Now, and Christian Collective — a group claiming to support Palestinians — stormed the building, defacing it with graffiti and creating a hostile environment for staff.
Slogans spray-painted on the facade accused Christians for Israel of “supporting genocide,” being “child murderers,” and being “complicit in events in Gaza.” The attack disrupted daily operations and left staff members shaken.
