Netherlands: Jew-hatred “recurrent problem” in schools, especially among Muslims

Feb 8, 2016 6:54 pm By Robert Spencer

“Unfortunately, there was no place for empathy.” Why not? “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, ruthless to unbelievers” (48:29).

“Dutch Education Minister Jet Bussemaker wrote that the document ‘shows a reality that is inconvenient and sometimes painful’ but must be confronted and dealt with ‘in accordance to democratic values.'” But what if the students in question are taught to despise democratic values and hate Jews because the Qur’an tells them they are the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) and under Allah’s curse (9:30)?

“Jew-hatred ‘recurrent problem’ in Dutch schools,” Jerusalem Post, February 8, 2016:

AMSTERDAM — Anti-Semitism is a persistent problem in some Dutch schools and especially among Muslim pupils, according to a new government-commissioned report on discrimination in education.

The findings appeared in a 55-page report titled “Two Worlds, Two Realities – How Do You Deal with It as a Teacher,” which was published last week by Margalith Kleijwegt, a Dutch-Jewish journalist, at the request of the Dutch ministry of education.

The report, which is based on visits to schools and conversations with dozens of teachers since January 2015, say that teachers sometimes feel powerless to change the deep-seated biases and violent attitudes of some pupils, including on Jews.

One female teacher from Amsterdam of high school pupils following a vocational education program told Kleijwegt of a lesson about democratic values and against discrimination, in which a female pupil of Moroccan descent stood up and said: “If I had a Kalashnikov [assault rifle], I’d gun down all the Jews.” She then made shooting gestures and sounds.

Shocked, the teacher tried to make the pupil empathize with a Jew but felt she was not getting through to the pupil.

“I wasn’t getting there,” the report quotes that teacher as saying. “I asked her to imagine a 5-year-old Jewish girl who lives here. What would she have to do with Israel’s policies? Unfortunately, there was no place for empathy. The pupil didn’t care about that girl. She had only one message: The Jews should die.”

In parallel, the report also found racist behavior directed at Muslim children by some classmates, particularly following the arrival to Europe of hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Middle East last year.

“Anti-Semitic behavior is a recurrent problem in some schools,” Kleijwegt wrote. “Some see it as a provocation [by pupils], others fear it goes deeper: That pupils receive anti-Jewish attitudes at home. The same applies to the growing group of Dutch pupils who say foreigners should rot and die. Is this provocation? Do they receive it at home?”

In the report, Dutch Education Minister Jet Bussemaker wrote that the document “shows a reality that is inconvenient and sometimes painful” but must be confronted and dealt with “in accordance to democratic values.”

      And in Dutch school where the prevailing opinion is anti-Israel

      And, in the Mosque where they are indoctrinated to hate Jews and the West and to embrace violence and death.

          Let’s all Sing it together.

          Rodgers and Hammerstein
          You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught Lyrics

          You’ve got to be taught
          To hate and fear,
          You’ve got to be taught
          From year to year,
          It’s got to be drummed
          In your dear little ear
          You’ve got to be carefully taught.

          You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
          Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
          And people whose skin is a diff’rent shade,
          You’ve got to be carefully taught.

          You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
          Before you are six or seven or eight,
          To hate all the people your relatives hate,
          You’ve got to be carefully taught!

          “Muslims” are not bad people but just people (mostly) born into that cult. You cannot change or reform islam but you can make them see for what it is. That’s why the real evil ones will chop their heads off bevor the critical ones think through and act.

          But we are nice, we are “civilized” and will give any consideration to the evil ones among us even if it costs the lives and well being of our children….

          Unfortunately, Mark Swan, life is not a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical play. Muslims are not sweet South Pacific people who are loving and kind. Their children do not sit around with American women and sing songs about why life is beautiful. In fact, I don’t recall a single beheading in “South Pacific.” Dream on. “Porquoi?”

          In fact, one does not have to be carefully taught to understand why Islam is horrific. One granny beheaded in her back garden in London should do it..

    AMSTERDAM — Anti-Semitism is a persistent problem in some Dutch schools and especially among Muslim pupils, according to a new government-commissioned report on discrimination in education.

    Nice sleight of hand – going from “some schools” to “muslim pupils”. Those “some schools” wouldn’t happen to be muslim-majprity schools, would they?

    “Anti-Semitic behavior is a recurrent problem in some schools,” Kleijwegt wrote. “Some see it as a provocation [by pupils], others fear it goes deeper: That pupils receive anti-Jewish attitudes at home. The same applies to the growing group of Dutch pupils who say foreigners should rot and die. Is this provocation? Do they receive it at home?”

    Nonsensical comparison. The example given is a Moroccan muslimah saying “The Jews should die”. Imagine that a non-muslim colleague of her hears her saying that and making the gun gesture and sound. Imagine that he sees other student of Moroccan ancestry spewing the same kind of hatred and goes to say “Foreigners should rot and die”. Does that mean that said student hates, for example, French people? Germans? Israelis? Or is he simply talking about the foreigners he sees spewing hatred and calling for genocide?

      “South Pacific.” Dream on. “Porquoi?” Good Googling…

      “In fact, one does not have to be carefully taught to understand why Islam is horrific”

      No one said they did…now did they…but Muslims raise their children to Muslim
      Standards…now don’ they…and this is carefully taught to children by family members
      now isn’t it…if I fussed You up…forgive me if You can…but I don’t think I did.

      Let’s stick to the theme here…Muslim bad…Us mad…They make de-caffeinated You Know.

    Too bad they don’t seem to realize that to really do anything about this they’ll essentially have to find a way of kicking off an Age of Reason in the Islamic world. That may be completely impossible as anyone involved would likely get killed by jihadists or random volunteer sharia enforcers.

    If only people were told the truth about history and culture.

    It´s starting all over again. How far willl it go this time? How many victims? Maybe till it is not possible to stop it? This time is the final.
    The enemy is here in overwhelming numbers and within humans. Like the Trojan horse. Not sure of what will happen or not.
    60-70% of migrant i.e. muslim voters vote for socialdemocrats and 87% of voters totally for other islamophile parties in Sweden.
    Socialdemocrats see every person as the same, any belief the same, any building the same. As do the other of the other parties among these with 87% of the votes.
    However for islam only islam counts. 87% do not know. Quite scaring.
    Looking for a book criticizing islam in a bookshop in the belief it might be there although knowing it most possibly was not for sale since such books are not for sale in bookshops in Sweden. At least not that one.
    It was not there. Close beside was a shelf with Bibles. A woman was looking there. She left leaving a book standing up in front of another book.
    I checked what book she hid. There was the Qu´ran. That book is allowed but not the one I oloked for although written by an elected leader of a party in the Riksdag/Parliament.
    So much for freedom of speech here. Suppose it is the same in other countries. Hope not. There must be a stop. History must not be repeated and another tyranny take over in Europe or elsewhere.

    I no longer hold the view that all men are equal or all brothers. For instance, Mother Theresa was not equal to a beheader. A pedophile is not equal to a person who protects and nurtures children. A moslem is not equal to a Jew. Jews are generallly speaking, intelligent, civil and capable of innovation. They are good at building a community and nation. Moslems break whole nations and are backward.

    • Carolyne says

      Feb 9, 2016 at 10:30 am

      And Jews value education. They are great inventors. Muslims, on the other hand, believe education is evil–That’s what Boko Haraam means–“Western education is evil.” All men are not created equal. In fact, I believe Muslims are inferior in their intellect and I believe it comes from centuries of intermarriage with first cousins. Take that and mix in the Koran and you have an inferior being.

        Just look at the Nobel Prize statistics. Muslims outnumber Jews 75 to one or thereabouts on this planet, yet the Jewish population has 20 times as many Nobel Prizes as Muslims.

    An idiot country that allows prostitution, drugs, and pedophiles parties can only talk about “democratic values”, without saying what, and in the end could only end up with a problem of this magnitude. The problem in the Netherlands has a name, are called Dutch.

      Holland is also a country where 75% of its Jewish population were murdered in World War II, falling from a prewar population of 140,000 to a postwar one of 35,000.

    “…The findings appeared in a 55-page report titled “Two Worlds, Two Realities – How Do You Deal with It as a Teacher [?]…

    That’s easy; you fudge it within a Cultural Relativist framework and hope it goes away. Even the title of the report suggests this solution ‘two worlds, two realities’ i.e. we all have different realities and none are superior to any others. If a teacher doesn’t like Jew baiting then surely that’s just a reflection of her/his reality or cultural perspective. Why look for ‘problems’ when there are only ‘differences’.

    I once tried to warn an Aussie Jewish federal MP – one of the three MPs in our Parliament who is of Jewish background and faith/ culture – that Muslim immigration into Australia was, specifically, endangering *Aussie Jews*, because of the Jew-hatred that is hard-wired into Islam. (Muslims, of course, feel contempt and hatred toward *all* Infidels, but Jews seem to cop an extra-specially-focused and intense subset of this hate – they are the “Ultra-Infidels”, so to speak). I stated that Islamic sacralised Jew-hatred, present within most Muslims, meant that with every additional Muslim who enters Australia the probability perceptibly increases that the Jewish community here will suffer a murderous attack at Muslim hands.

    He wouldn’t believe me…

    In our case, as it happens, non-Jewish infidels have been the first to get murdered by Muslims… the attack on the Lindt Cafe in which the cafe manager was murdered by the Musilm hostage-taker (the other death was due to “friendly fire” when the police broke the siege) and the murder of Curtis Cheng. But I fully expect that there *will* be an attack on Aussie Jews and I will not be surprised when it takes place. I’ll be deeply saddened, and I will be ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS (not only with the Muslim perps but with the *fool* politicians who refuse to see sense and are opening the gates to the Muslim Jew-haters); but I won’t be surprised. If anything, I’m surprised that it hasn’t happened *yet*.

      In my classes of immigrant kids, I’ve also run into a nasty Jew-hatred among Muslim students.

      On the other hand, when I was a university lecturer in political science, I met a man from Sa’udi Arabia whose biggest piece of culture shock was that Jews, including Israelis, were good, decent, civilized people. It got him questioning.

      I also knew a man from Iraq who lamented (and that’s the only way to describe his choice o words and attitude) that getting rid of Iraq’s Jews had deprived his country of both a number of distinguished professors and traditional musicians.

    The target isn’t the Jews specifically, it’s all mankind, all of western society, all the non-muslims. I can only hope more and more Europeans understand that and fast – THEY ARE THE TARGETS! The Jews are just an excuse and since the Jews of Israel are among the very few who understand the threat, have been fighting against them for a 100 years and kicking the barbaric asses, the Jews are at the forefront of their manifested hate.

    PROBLEM:
    Why the anti-Jew hate?
    Because the of the myth that the Jew in the diaspora appears weak.

    SOLUTION:
    A strong Jewish State – Israel.
    Once an anti-semite gets an Uzi up his ass his or her thinking will be rectified!!!

    It is impossible to do anything about islamic anti-semitism. It is an integral part of islam and cannot be eradicated. Without anti-semitism islam is dead. The problem is non islamic anti-semitism. It is when a catholic clergyman saying on national television in France : “of cause the jews killed Jesus and the curse of God is on them”. People, who genuinely concern about islamization of Europe should support Israel and not to hide behind anti-Zionism. People, who support so called two states solution are not genuine about their opposition to islam. If they are, they would not advocate creation of another islamo-terrorist state. We should regect another terrorist state and support one state – Israel, with most of moslem population moving to Jordan. We can make it financially attractive for them to move. The only place we can put a real blow to islam is the ME. They will not recover from such a defeat for a long time, may be never. Without Israel the war against islam cannot be won.

    A Clergyman said….”cause the jews killed Jesus and the curse of God is on them”…pretty bold that.

    Maybe what the Jews did in Rejecting Christ…Killing Him…This may be It…Yet if We could go back in time and turn the Soldier around…You know the One who shoved a spear into Christ’s Side to finish Him…If we looked at This Soldiers Face…We would Each Clearly See This Was Our Very Own Face…Right There…He died To Liberate All Mankind…That Is Why He Died.

    Judah’s Descendants were promised a Line of Kings…Culminating in The Messiah (savior or liberator)…Mankind needed liberating…Satan held them captive reaching there minds through the spirit in mankind…a very Powerful Spirit Being…This Captor Views all Humans With Rage and Contempt…this captor would be hateful to any people he associated with this liberator.

    Christ was born amongst the Jews…His Mother was One…He was One…The Greatest One…The Lion Of The Tribe of Judah…all Christ’s Apostles Were One…All of The Scriptures were written down exactly as God wanted by the Jews…and they so carefully guarded every detail of these writings…The Christian Church Started and was Headquartered in Jerusalem…Did God make a mistake here or was Christ born exactly where He was Supposed to be.
