Amsterdam violence sparks national debate

ai generated text

The Netherlands is currently experiencing a political crisis following violent clashes between Israeli and Dutch supporters in Amsterdam. The violence has led to the resignation of Nora Achahbar, the Moroccan-born secretary for benefits from the centre-right New Social Contract (NSC) party, due to allegedly inflammatory and racist remarks.

    1. There are calls for similar situations in Amsterdam West this evening. It's happening right now. There are calls: women and children stay at home. That worries us.

    1. I suspect – and I think we all agree – that if we do not tackle the root causes then we will see those tensions again, conflicts will keep happening.

    1. If you want to regain your country, make the Netherlands for the people of the Netherlands again, then you can only vote for one party.
    2. There is a lot of Moroccan scum in Holland who make the streets unsafe.

    1. I am not saying that the violence wasn't anti-Semitic. I really think it was both provoked and anti-Semitic.

    1. Violence should never be used. But this violence is a consequence of a build-up of marginalisation, racist politics, and racism within the police force.
    2. Everyone in my communities, both the Islamic community and the Dutch Moroccan community, is frightened and angry over the blame game. We don't know what's coming next.

    1. This conflict deeply impacted the Dutch Moroccans in the city, much more than the Palestinians.
    2. The more you break down this incident, the more you see how this was completely expected.
    3. The violence from last week is an escalation of the institutional violence that has been present and normalised in Dutch society, especially since [Geert] Wilders was elected last November.
