(Jewish Group) Jews are victims of 41 per cent racist hate crimes in the Netherlands
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)Dutch Jews were the victims of more than 40 per cent the country's racist hate crimes last year, despite making up less than 0.2 per cent of the population, figures have revealed.
According to the Netherlands' public prosecution service, 41 per cent of 144 criminal offences upheld by the country’s judiciary, including vandalism, assault and incitement to violence, were carried out against Jews.
The figure was almost double 2016’s percentage, where 22 per cent of 163 cases were aimed at Jews.
Over three quarters of these cases have been linked to football. Supporters of Ajax Amsterdam refer to themselves as Jews, much like Tottenham Hotspurs supporters in the UK often refer to themselves as “Yids”.
