Ik ben een Jood.

I’m glad to see the BBC giving a lot of attention to the situation in Amsterdam overnight, after initially this morning being really concerned why it was only from Jewish / Israeli news sources that I was reading about it…

Unfortunately and tragically mob culture rounding on Jews is not new; the word ‘pogrom’ has historical context.

Please if you don’t already know much about the continuous (literally, since forever) attacks and intimidation on Israelis and Jews around the world, please be curious and open minded and learn.

Please speak out against this violence because ‘never again’ feels closer than it did yesterday, and if you don’t, well, ‘never again’ feels closer still…

Thank you
