The news out of Amsterdam gets more and more horrifying.

#1. The Bad: In Amsterdam, Antisemitic Attacks Continue Throughout Saturday

While the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans, or most of them, were flown back to Tel Aviv early on Saturday, Muslim thugs continued throughout that day to roam the streets of Amsterdam looking for Jews to attack. More on those attacks, and other antisemitic acts at the Holocaust Museum, can be found here: “Dutch police can refuse to protect the Holocaust Museum ‘on moral grounds.’ Today, ‘Free Palestine’ stickers with razor blades were found there.” Elder of Ziyon, November 10, 2024:

The news out of Amsterdam gets more and more horrifying. And it appears that the police are part of the problem.

Another sickening video was released showing a gang of Islamic thugs chasing down and repeatedly kicking a presumed Jew in the head.

Even after the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans left the city, the antisemitic attacks continue.

On Saturday night, police said, gangs were still roaming the streets threatening anyone who “looked Jewish” and demanded they show their IDs,

On Saturday, a number of “free Palestine” stickers were found in the city – including near the Holocaust Museum – backed by razor blades to injure anyone who tries to remove them….

Try to remove those razor-bladed stickers, and you will likely slice deeply into your finger.

It turns out that the Holocaust Museum is a “safe space” – for antisemites.

Because last month, the Dutch police admitted that some of their officers refuse to be deployed at places like the Holocaust Museum or at Koran-burning demonstrations because of “moral objections.” Police spokesperson Mireille Beentjes said in response, “We take moral objections into account when drawing up schedules.” But, she insisted, for “urgent” matters the police department expects all officers to show up….

Apparently there are Muslims on the police force in Amsterdam. They refuse to be assigned to guard the Holocaust Museum. After all, the Holocaust, as they see it — if it existed at all, for many Muslims have their doubts — is exploited by the Jews to win sympathy for Israel. The Holocaust Museum, in their view, is one more example of propaganda by the Zionists. And they don’t want to be assigned to guard it. They should be read the riot act by their superiors, and told they must fulfill their duties, going wherever they are assigned — including the Holocaust Museum. And if they don’t comply, they should be discharged.

#2. The Good: The Druze Israeli Who Helped Protect Jews In Amsterdam

A Druze Israeli who went to Amsterdam to cheer on the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team ended up rescuing Jews by misdirecting Arabs who were hellbent on their “Jodenjacht” or “Jew Hunt.” More on his story can be found here:”Druze Maccabi TLV fan misleads Amsterdam attackers by speaking Arabic,” Jerusalem Post, November 10, 2024:

A Druze Maccabi Tel Aviv fan protected fellow Israelis during the Amsterdam attack by speaking Arabic, Mako reported on Saturday.

Melhem Asad, from Kasra-Samia in northern Israel, had traveled with friends from Madrid to Amsterdam to attend the Maccabi Tel Aviv match and support the Israeli team.

Directly after the game, Israeli fans of the soccer team were severely attacked across Amsterdam on Thursday night in several incidents and locations. Some fans said that as they left metro stations on their way to the hotels where they were staying, groups of rioters ambushed and attacked them violently.

In some incidents, fans were run over, and in others, they were even stabbed. Others were thrown to the ground with punches and kicks, while the attackers demanded that the Israelis recite pro-Palestinian slogans for them to stop.

When the violent attacks erupted on the city’s streets, Asad spoke fluent Arabic to mislead attackers and protect Israeli fans. “They thought I was one of them. I told them the Jews were already gone, and they went the other way,” Mako reported him saying….

The Druze Israeli Melhem Asad saved his fellow Israelis by using his native speaker’s knowledge of Arabic to lead astray the Arab rioters with murder in their hearts. They thought he was one of them, and he was able both to misdirect them — “there are no Jews in this place, they’ve all gone” away” — and to run ahead of the baying pack of Arabs to warn Jews that their tormentors would soon be coming.

In Judges 12:6, there is a passage where the Gileadites ask other Israelites to say the word “shibboleth.” Those that cannot, and say instead “sibboleth,” are identified as the enemy Ephraimites, and are thus to be slain. Someone — I don’t know who — summed up the Biblical passage in a beautiful couplet: “Where forty thousand met their death, Incapable of shibboleth.”

So language thus can save lives, or lose them.
