A violent antisemitic rampage in Amsterdam last Thursday has drawn widespread shock across Europe. Reports indicate that the PGNL, a Hamas-affiliated group in the Netherlands, played a key role in organizing recent anti-Israel protests.

The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) revealed that local authorities canceled a planned protest against a football match, but organizers responded by inviting attendees to a new demonstration while urging them to disguise their identities and prepare for violence. 

PGNL, which hosts protests via messaging apps, has ties to Hamas. Previously led by Amin Abu-Rashid, arrested in 2023 for funding Hamas, the group is now run by Ayman Nejmeh, who has expressed pro-Hamas sentiments online. Another key figure, Ahmed Skineh, has connections to various pro-Hamas organizations.
