Europe’s Disgrace

Today, the world’s sole Jewish state is the recipient of the civilized world’s gratitude.

European Union president Ursula von der Leyen is “outraged by last night’s vile attacks targeting Israeli citizens in Amsterdam.” The conscience of the Netherlands’ King Willem-Alexander is similarly shocked: “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again.” French president Emmanuel Macron lamented that “the violence against Israeli citizens in Amsterdam recalls history’s darkest hours,” and he promised to “continue to fight against heinous antisemitism.”
