Reinier van Dantzig is the faction leader in the Amsterdam
municipal council of the left liberal D66 party – a member of the Dutch government
coalition. After the anti-semitic attack by a Palestinian who smashed the door
and windows of an Amsterdam Jewish restaurant, van Dantzig tweeted “how awful
that this happened. It shows how thoughtless statements by the leader of the
free world have direct consequences. Let
us show clearly that there is no room for intolerance in Amsterdam!”
Dutch Jewish lawyer, Herman Loonstein condemned van
Dantzig’s statement as “cowardly and obscene” remarking that it was a form of
“victim blaming.”
In the meantime the lawyer of the perpetrator has said that the
attack had nothing to do with Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as capital of
Israel.
