Protesters vandalize Netherlands office of pro-Israel Christian group

2024-11-27

[IsraelTimes] Activists at demonstration led by Extinction Rebellion and other groups daub slogans on premises of Christians for Israel, intimidate staff arriving for work with ‘genocide’ claims

Anti-Israel demonstrators vandalized the offices of a Christian organization in the Netherlands that supports Israel, daubing the site Monday with slogans that accused its members of supporting genocide and killing babies.

The protest at the Christians for Israel Center in the central Dutch city of Nijkerk came weeks after the country was the site of attacks on Jewish Israeli soccer fans by pro-Paleostinian activists in what officials described as an antisemitic pogrom.

Protesters in Nijkerk defaced a building where Christians for Israel is based, spray-painting slogans that accused Christians for Israel members of "supporting genocide" and being "child murderers" and "complicit in the events in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

"The protest occurred precisely as most staff members were arriving at work, catching many off guard," the group said in a statement.

grabbed credit for the protest in a post to its X social media account, listing the local branches of Christian Collective and Justice Now as fellow participants.

"The vandalism created a distressing and hostile environment for staff and disrupted the organization’s daily activities," Christians for Israel said.

Frank van Oordt, executive director of Christians for Israel Netherlands, said the group was "shocked that this is happening in our country" and more so that the action was taken by other Christians.

Think of them as “Christians” — cosplayers, not the real thing. Exactly like Jewish Voice for Peace and the rest of that lot.

The incident came days before Christians for Israel planned to hold a major rally in Amsterdam in support of the Jewish community, after Israeli soccer fans and tourists were hounded through the streets amid ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful festivities when Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv played the local Ajax soccer club earlier this month.

There has been continuing violence against Jews in Amsterdam by anti-Israel protesters in the weeks that f

And before, too, according to reports.

The planned support rally "seems to have drawn the ire of organizations opposing Israel’s policies, some of whom have resorted to disruptive and destructive tactics," Christians for Israel said.

Though staff immediately alerted police, the group said officers took three hours to disperse the demonstrators.

How many of the police officers were Moslem colonists or Jew-hating sympathizers?

A Christians for Israel spokesperson said that staff tried to speak with the protesters but "instead of engaging with facts and constructive dialogue, they resort to yelling, vandalizing, and spreading misinformation."

I am shocked that lot were so impolite.

Christians for Israel was particularly dismayed since it also provides financial aid to Paleostinian communities, the group said.

Perhaps it’s time to discontinue that.

"For many years, we have contributed hundreds of thousands of Euros to organizations that aid Paleostinians and foster cooperation between Arab and Jewish communities in Israel," it said in the statement. "Accusing us of complicity in genocide ignores these facts."

There were no injuries in the incident. Christians for Israel said it was the latest in a series of "targeted actions" against the group including similar vandalism of the building last summer.

The organization said it was working with authorities to ensure the safety of staff and the premises.

"Christians for Israel vows to continue its work undeterred, standing firm in the face of hostility and misinformation," it said, adding that the incident serves to show the importance of the upcoming rally "which aims to foster solidarity and support for the Jewish people."

On Tuesday, Justice Now protesters blocked the entrance of Dutch broadcaster NOS’s building in Hilversum accusing it of biased reporting in favor of Israel.
