The number of incidents of anti-Jewish discrimination seems to be heavily on the rise. The history of the Jewish documentation centre, INFORMATION and registration for the past few years, in the Netherlands, 182 anti-semitic incidents. This is a record that is in the thirties that these numbers are to be maintained.
The figure represents an increase of 35 per cent compared with the end of 2018. The number of on-line versions of anti-semitism, it is not included in the list; the INFORMATION will be available later this spring, in a separate study, the increase in the number of haatincidenten against the Jews on social media.
It’s going to be name-calling, bullying, and physical bullying. The incident will have a significant impact on the Jewish community in the Netherlands, stresses the importance of the INFORMATION. “They contribute a great deal to have a growing sense of insecurity,” says the deputy-director of the Naomi Mestrum.
up To now, the number of incidents was measured in the year 2014. At the time there was a clear reason for the increase; and the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has flared in that year quite a bit. Such a relationship is in 2019 at the latest, not to point out, according to Mestrum.

“It’s hard to identify if there is indeed an increase in, or that there has been more focus on the subject of discrimination,” says she. “However, we feel that it is only the tip of the iceberg. Many of the people do not report incidents because they feel that they have to have the police there to do anything with them. This feeling is also based on the understanding that it is often at the police station, to be experienced.”
But, across the board, you will see that the society is hardened. A lot of people don’t feel that it was okay to use words like Jew or gay as a bad word to use. That trend fits with the rise of racism in football, or the Asian community, who were extremely stigmatized can feel it.”
‘, Racism and anti-semitism should be higher on the agenda, education, and
the Police and the judiciary would be the approach to anti-semitism and racism is higher on the agenda and in a more serious way to take it, for it is ORGANIZATION. In addition to pay attention to Jews and judaism in education is very important to set Mestrum.
“For a lot of people, the Jews, is an extraordinary phenomenon that Jews are often mentioned in connection with the Second world War. You will notice that the history will continue to, especially young people, off to the left. It is important to make it clear that the Jews are so much more: as a religion, a people and a culture that has made an important contribution to the contemporary Dutch society.”
