Dutch PM addresses violence against Jews at Kristallnacht service, not Red Line Protest
The 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht was commemorated in Amsterdam on Monday evening. Prime Minister Rob Jetten gave a speech, denouncing the rising anti-Semitism in the Netherlands. "The lesson of history is that violence against Jews is never far away," Jetten said in the first speech by a Dutch Prime Minister at a Kristallnacht commemoration in ten years. He did not mention the Red Line protest that happened in the Dutch capital the day before.
A Red Line march took place in Amsterdam on Sunday, 8 November, with participants calling for stronger Dutch action toward Israel over Gaza. Al Jazeera reported that hundreds of thousands joined, while goSkagit and Breitbart described the crowd as tens of thousands; NL Times had reported before the march that organizers expected tens of thousands. Al Jazeera said protesters sought stricter trade restrictions and an end to arms sales, while NL Times said organizers called for cutting military and economic ties.
