Two separate Jewish institutions have come under bomb or arson attack in the Netherlands. Luckily, no one was injured. Attacks on Jewish schools and synagogues appear to be rising at an alarming rate.

Explosion rocks Amsterdam Jewish school in what

mayor says is ‘targeted attack’ against Jewish community

An explosion struck overnight at a Jewish school in Amsterdam in what the city’s mayor called a “targeted attack against the Jewish community.”

The blast hit the outer wall of the school, located in Buitenveldert, considered the city’s modern Jewish quarter and home to synagogues, religious schools and Jewish restaurants.

Four men arrested after Rotterdam synagogue arson attack

AMSTERDAM, March 13 (Reuters) - Dutch police on ‌Friday said four men were arrested after an arson attack on a synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam, in the latest incident of suspected antisemitic violence since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

No one was injured as a ⁠result of the fire, which was caused by an explosion around 3:40 a.m. (0240 GMT), Rotterdam police said.

Both articles noted an explosion hit a synagogue in the Belgian city of Liege on Monday and in the US, a Michigan synagogue was targeted Thursday in a car-ramming attack.

While I certainly don't condone it this may have had some bearing on why they were attacked.

Unlike the 150 schoolgirls your country killed, yet you think this attack happened in a vacuum and is worthy of a topic.

Wait until Israel is nuked- this is what you have started.

The investigation points to the bomb being a USA Tomahawk bomb, although the investigation Hasnt been concluded yet .

Also, this story is about Jews in Holland , nothing to do with Israelis or Americans .

1) it was the USA which rocketed the girls school and killed the children.

2) These attacks took place in The Netherlands.

3) Nuking Israel, serious?

1, I know but many people are blaming Jews in other countries, this is a religious war started by Israel and it's lobby in the US.

Out of interest, do you think the Israel lobby has a day in starting this war with Iran?

2, see 1.

Probably Iran, helped by China or Russia.

Most Dutch Jews support Israel, 20% were born in Israel.

51% said “supporting Israel” is very important to their Jewish identity.

What actions did 150 dead schoolgirls do to deserve death? You'll call it collateral damage or some other BS. Yet when the moral world retaliates against US war crimes, you won't use that same word.

If you support rogue terrorist nations, there will be consequences.

As pointed out to you many times already, your point is moot. Anti-Semitism is more and more related to Israeli actions.

What a disgusting comment!

Being a Jewish person in the Netherlands isn't an action. It's existing.

Israel is a Jewish state. Most diaspora support the pariah state.

If Iran started a war by killing Netanyahu and carpet bombing Israel, there would be attacks on Muslims around the world, would you agree?

I doubt there are many people who blame Dutch jews for the bombing of Iranian schools. For sure Islamic terrorist groups blame Jews, but those groups have always hated Jews everywhere and sought their destruction.

But if it is true that many people and not just Arab terror groups "are blaming Jews in other countries," that only means many people are terribly wrong, along the same lines as Adolph Hitler blaming Jews for Germany's defeat in WWI or the subsequent devastation of the German economy.

No doubt the Israel lobby supports the U.S. attacks on Iran, but I doubt it had a significant role in Trump's decision to make the attacks.

That would seem like a very good reason for Israel and the U.S. to destroy Iran's ability to make nuclear weapons. What help do you envision China or Russia would provide Iran in an attempt to nuke Israel?

Because Dutch Jews answer in a poll that some of them support Israel, do you feel that justifies a bomb attack on a Jewish school or synagogue in the Netherlands? Do you believe their support of Israel goes beyond simply saying they support Israel?

Only to those who are obsessed with finding the juden.

The reality is that these attacks are usually undertaken by immigrants and refugees who have failed to integrate with their host benefactor nation.

My point is not at all moot. It's totally unreasonable to hold Dutch Jews responsible and thereby deserving of a physical attack because of the actions of the Israeli or U.S. governments.

If Cambodians who are angry over the border war bombed a Thai school or Buddhist temple in the U.S. or the U.K., would you say they are right to do so? How is that different from bombing a Jewish school in Amsterdam?

There are an estimated 340,000 Thai Americans in the U.S. Should they be held responsible for the actions of the current Thai government?

What are the Jewish people doing to upset the Dutch this much? We have religious minorities in the US like the Amish or even Mormons but they never got bombed.

What do the **** expect? Look out the constant anti Russian comments on this board, and the Ukrainian casualties have been limited. Heck, the Russians even took the children of the school BEFORE, they bombed it, and had zero casualties. The Russians still get hate, after these actions of decency. The Israelis bomb and shoot children, and the **** tell us those innocent children deserve it. Then they wonder why EVERYONE hates them? How many times has the op posted a topic condemning the Israeli atrocities.
