A Flicker Of Light?

Whereas many Spanish celebrities were quick to accuse Israel of war crimes while remaining silent in the face of the atrocities the Palestinian Hamas is guilty of, today a large advertisement in the Dutch media appeared signed by various celebrities and politicians which read 'No Excuse For Hatred Against Jews'.

Those who signed the advertisement had different opinions about Israel, but on one thing they agreed: the Dutch people should not tolerate the creation of a climate which is a replica of the climate in Nazi Germany preceding the war.

It's a little flicker of Light, but nevertheless it is good to see that there still are people who stand up against the steady rise of anti-Semitism.

...however, it appears that the name of Wilders has been deliberately scrapped from the ad by CIDI because he connected Islam with the rise of anti-Semitism.

Now, where on Earth did Wilders get the idea that Islam might somehow be connected to any form of anti-Semitism...?

I think it's a slap in the face of Wilders, who has supported Israel and the Jews MANY times in the past.

You may not agree with his political ideas, but at least you should have the decency to show some gratitude for his support.

The fact that CIDI had asked Wilders to sign the advertisement, and then decided to humiliate Wilders by not mentioning him in the ad was reason enough for 'Federatief Joods Nederland' to write a letter to Wilders apologizing for the actions of CIDI, and thanking him for his stance against anti-Semitism.

Shame on you, CIDI.
