Islamized Netherlands: Raw Footage of Muslim Jew-Hatred Exposed by Yarmulke Experiment (Video)

This past summer, a Dutch journalist with PowNed conducted an experiment, venturing into the “multicultural” city of Amersfoort wearing a yarmulke (kippah)—a visible marker of Jewish identity—to test the public response in the Netherlands. The results from the Islamic community were brutal. This wasn’t just a casual observation; it exposed the disturbing reality of unchecked, normalized Jew-hatred in Dutch society from Muslim communities. Far from a society of tolerance, this footage reveals a dangerous culture where antisemitism is not only accepted but even excused.

One man, visibly angered by the journalist’s yarmulke, threatened, “I’ll give you a cancer slap on your cancer face.” In Dutch slang, “cancer” is often used as an insult or curse word, and here, it took on a hateful tone explicitly directed at the journalist’s Jewish identity.

Throughout the interaction, multiple individuals—many from the Muslim community—reacted with overt hostility, associating the yarmulke with political conflicts involving Israel and Palestinian territories. Shouts of “Free Palestine” were common, as were accusations like “Jews are murderers,” revealing how quickly anti-Jewish views surface when confronted with a visible Jewish symbol.

From Open Hostility to Organized Attacks: Jew-Hatred in the Netherlands

The hostility captured in the video report isn’t an anomaly. It reflects a more comprehensive and escalating pattern of Jew-hatred in the Netherlands. Recently, mobs in Amsterdam went beyond harassment; they hunted Jews in organized, premeditated attacks. Israeli citizens and Dutch Jews became targets, attacked for their identity. The violence grew so intense that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had to send planes to evacuate citizens, a stark signal of how severe the threat has become.

This wasn’t just a random event but a coordinated assault, revealing an organized network of Islamic antisemitism within the Netherlands. Even the left-wing party BIJ1 praised the attacks. As RAIR Foundation has pointed out for years, such attacks have become frighteningly routine. Yet, Dutch authorities and the broader European establishment remain largely silent, leaving Jewish communities vulnerable and isolated.

A Failure to Confront Islamic Jew-Hatred

The footage has sparked outrage, especially among conservative voices. Annabel Nanninga, a senator from the JA21 party, applauded PowNed’s footage, calling it “the video that had to be made.” She condemned Dutch media for its silence on antisemitism, accusing them of focusing on Islamic grievances and weaponizing claims of “Islamophobia” while minimizing the actual real severity of Jew-hatred, particularly from Muslim communities. Her critique resonates: antisemitism isn’t just ignored in the Netherlands—it’s excused.

Dutch commentator Bart Nijman wrote sarcastically, “You know that Muslims hate Jews. You don’t need to go around showing it.” His words reflect a very rarely spoken truth from media: society expects antisemitism from Islamic groups, yet this hatred remains unchallenged and accepted by left-wing leaders and parties.

Geert Wilders: “Jew-Hatred is Now Normal”

PVV leader Geert Wilders, a brave supporter of Jewish communities known for his bold stance against mass illegal immigration and Islam, didn’t mince words: “Unfortunately, this is now normal in the Netherlands: massive Jewish hatred among Muslims. And nobody does anything about it.” Wilders makes clear that Dutch society has failed in its duty to protect Jewish communities. Jew hatred among Islamic groups is rising unchecked and with support from the left and their leaders.

The Data: A Sharp Increase in Anti-Semitic Incidents

This rise in antisemitism is not just anecdotal but reflected in statistics. Reports indicate a 60% surge in antisemitic incidents across the Netherlands in recent years, with hostility often peaking around Jewish holidays or Israeli national days. Jewish community leaders have expressed alarm at this trend, noting that attacks now include everything from graffiti on synagogues to verbal harassment and even physical assaults against visibly Jewish individuals in public. In a society that champions tolerance and freedom, the normalization of such hatred poses a severe threat to the principles the Netherlands claims to uphold.

A Hypocrisy That Can’t Be Ignored

The video exposes not only the hate faced by Jews in the Netherlands but also the staggering double standards fueling it. When a Jewish man walks through Amersfoort wearing a yarmulke, he faces rage, threats, and open hostility. Meanwhile, Nanninga and others argue that a Muslim woman in a hijab can move through almost any Dutch neighborhood without encountering similar treatment. Yet the mainstream media relentlessly pushes narratives of “Islamophobia” while glossing over the very real and escalating violence against Jews. Nanninga’s pointed remark, “The most boring video ever: a woman walking around with a headscarf in any Dutch neighborhood. Nothing happens,” captures this blatant hypocrisy.

The experiment and recent organized attacks in Amsterdam expose a deep-rooted societal reluctance to confront Jew hatred when it doesn’t fit favored political agendas. Muslims’ grievances are not only amplified but weaponized—claims of “Islamophobia” are politicized to demand special treatment, grow influence, and even advance an agenda that seeks to further Islamic influence in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the real and persistent threats faced by Jews are downplayed or outright ignored. This glaring disparity distorts justice and reveals an unsettling inconsistency in the supposed Dutch values of equality and tolerance.

Time for Action: Confronting Jew-Hatred

PowNed’s footage, coupled with the violent attacks in Amsterdam, serves as a reminder of the hostility Jewish people continually face daily in the Netherlands. It’s a call to the Dutch public, the media, and the government to confront the threats that thrive in their midst.
