A local politician said he'd burn the Palestinian national symbol to protest the vitriol and underline authorities' refusal to intervene.
At a Muslim religious event on the margins of an anti-Israel rally in Amsterdam, a man dressed like a Hamas terrorist on Saturday burned an Israeli flag as onlookers cheered.
The display at Spui, a central square of the Dutch capital, represents an escalation of the content at anti-Israel rallies that authorities are failing to confront, one researcher who studies the pro-Palestinian scene in the Netherlands told the daily, De Telegraaf.
“Utter madness, but apparently anything goes under the guise of ‘criticism of Israel.’ Another low point reached in Amsterdam,” a spokesperson for the Center for Information and Documentation in Israel, the Dutch Jewish community’s research body and watchdog on antisemitism, wrote on X.
