6,000 Illegal Air B&B Rentals in Amsterdam

Amsterdam does not permit renting one’s home out for more than 60 days per year. A new study shows that at least 6,000 illegal Air B&B rentals of homes and rooms to tourists do not comply with the towns rules.  The Amsterdam Housing alderman Laurens Ivens said:  “I want to prevent our homes being hijacked and people making a lot of money from it.”  The Amsterdam municipality is implementing the obligatory listing of renting of homes out to tourists. From 2018, if people do not comply, they will be fined up to 6000 Euros.

Attacker of Kosher restaurant free for several months

Saleh Ali, who vandalized a kosher restaurant was freed after bieng held by the for two days.  When he came before a court, it was decided that he should be subjected to a psychiatric examination, thus he will be free for a few more months. Though the authorities have withheld this information, it became known that the attacker is a Palestinian from Syria with combat experience who was an asylum seeker in the Netherlands. Dutch officials do not consider the clearly antisemitic attack as a hate crime. As a major contrast this past summer, the Dutch police held a Dutch Jew Michael Jacobs for a week as he stood repeatedly near anti-Israeli demonstrators while wearing an Israeli flag. There are no laws prohibiting this.
