The Netherlands are not more or less safer for any Jew than any other country in weretsn/central Europe. Amsterdam and Den Haag have a big orthodox community as well as reform. Dutch people tend to be very tolerant and open minded, so that won’t be a problem.BUT and this is my but I would never march outside an orthdox neighbourhood in Europe with a Kippa on my head or Tzitzit that can be seen as such. Dutch people won’t harm you, but islamic antisemitism is a problem in European countries and can be dangerous if you meet the wrong people.I live in Germany and had never problems with german people but I was several times bothered by muslim teenagers on the street when I was entering Shul and during summers if one could see my Magen David (which is very small and hardly to recognize, but they made it). No one ever touched or hurt me, but they sometimes shout at you less nicer things. Males over here tend not to wear a Kippa outside of Shul take a Baseballcap or something else as it can get dangerous (in big towns, outside of jewish neighbourhoods). Over here, people tend to not telling everyone that they are jewish as long as you don’t know people more closer as many tend to change towards you if they know so it might be better to get to know them more properly first before you tell them about this.

Pity most westerners don’t know the difference between “anti-Semitism” and “antisemitism”.

Berlin-born Jewish professor Shmuel Almog (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), has claimed that the term with hyphen and without it has different meanings. The term ‘Antisemitism’ was coined by Wilhelm Marr in the 1870s. It was applied to European Christians who hated Jews. However, when it’s written with hyphen ‘Anti-Semitism’ – it means hatred toward Semite people who are found in far greater numbers among Arab Muslims and Christians than the entire world Jewry.

Last year, Jewish academic and former UNHRC Envoy for Palestine, Dr. Richard Falk, admitted in one of his blog-post that while anti-Semitism existed for nearly 2000-year, it only appeared in the Muslim world after the creation of the state of Israel.

I, as a Christian, do not turn a blind eye to terrorism by coreligionists. Unfortunately, that is not the case with most Jews. They not only turn a blind eye to Israeli crimes, but defend Israel come what may and make every endeavour to gag any exposure. Besides, the recent Hebdo affair, may not even be what we were led to believe according to:

Would someone Kindly Point out to me ( And Millions of Others Who Can`t find any distinction between the two >>>Just what is the difference between Anti- Israelism and anti-Semitism ? I see None. It Seems They all “”Follow the loudest Leader wherever It may lead them..And This “” Has been the DownFall of the Jewish People. It has Brought More Angst and Hate against Even the best of The good jews. Time for a Rerun with Better Traits Leading the way. Time to put the holocaust to the past and stop using it as an excuse to stay on a continuous rampage killing so many millions who have been murdered since, done in revenge.. It was NOT just jews who perished there..it was people of many other nationalities,as well. so look for a better future.. while there might can still be something worthwhile to salvage.
