The return of Kristallnacht

Dutch king ‘We failed the Jews again’  By Vered Weiss, World Israel News

"King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed “deep horror and shock” over attacks against Israelis after Thursday’s Maccabi-Ajax football game in Amsterdam when at least 10 Israelis were injured by a mob and three were missing for nearly 12 hours.

"He said that the attacks, which were on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, was reminiscent of ‘dark and grim times for the Jewish people.

“ 'We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” the Dutch king said to Israeli President Isaac Herzog in a phone call on Friday morning.

"The king added that the attacks should be “unequivocally condemned” and urged Dutch authorities to take action to ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis in the Netherlands.

"In addition, he urged an investigation into the incident.

"In an organized attack, an anti-Israel mob began attacking Israeli Maccabi fans after the match resulting in injuries for over 10 Israelis and three who were missing until they were located on Friday afternoon." . . .

'A new Kristallnacht': Jewish, Israeli figures express horror over Amsterdam pogrom . . ."Exactly 86 years after Kristallnacht, when Nazis, along with ordinary Germans hunted Jews through the streets of Europe, we see their ideological heirs rampaging through the streets of Amsterdam once again seeking to spill Jewish blood,” said CEO of CAM Sacha Roytman Dratwa.

“Thousands of Islamists, who are today's neo-Nazis in ideology and action, in a clearly premeditated and organized fashion, targeted Jews in what feels to many as a loud echo from history.”

Dratwa stressed a difference between 1939 and today: the State of Israel.

"The Jews won't wait around like they did in '39," Dratwa added. "They'll leave, leaving you to deal with the extremism that has been allowed to fester." . . .

"Anne Frank Museum Closed To Tourists As 1000 Jews Currently Hiding In Attic"

(Satire) AMSTERDAM — The Anne Frank House, a historic landmark with attached museum, announced today that it was currently closed to tourists following a slew of anti-semitic attacks in the area, leading to a sudden influx of approximately 1,000 Jews hiding in the building's attic.

"Sorry, folks, the museum is closed," Museum Curator Ezekiel Steinberg said. "We are, uh, beyond capacity. But don't worry, as soon as it's safe for Jews to come out of hiding again, we'll open back up."

Anne Frank and her family famously hid in the attic of Prinsengracht 263 for just over two years until being discovered by the Nazis. Now, Israelis who came to town for the Europa League football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax are hoping to break that record as they hide from angry Muslims.

"They'll never find us here because it's called 'the secret annex,'" said Rabbi Jonah Abramstein, referring to the name used for the attic by the Frank family. "It's secret. It's in the name. No one would think to look for Jews here." . . .Full article here
