Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the “antisemitic” attacks, with Amsterdam’s mayor labelling the horrific scenes “hit and run”. Attacking successive Dutch Governments over the situation, Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders said: “All those parties that governed for years and left our borders wide open should be ashamed of themselves. “They are now shedding crocodile tears but are entirely responsible for the import and growth of all that disgusting Jew-hatred.”
