Federation Statement on Attacks in Amsterdam
Posted by Lauren Gold on 11/08/2024 @ 11:14 AM
Jewish Federations are horrified and outraged at the hate-filled antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam on November 7, in which anti-Israel mobs terrorized and beat Israelis and Jews trying to enjoy a soccer game. This modern-day pogrom, just two days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, should make it clear that the entire world must act now to condemn and prosecute to the fullest all the perpetrators and take every necessary step to protect the Jewish community. We are in close contact with our partners in Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel as we continue our commitment to the security of Jewish communities around the world.
