The singer would perform today during a youth football tournament of the Jewish community on the AFC site in Zuid. On stage, however, he said he did not want this because of alleged political expressions that he does not agree with.
It is unclear to which poster and pamphlets he refers. In a response on Facebook, he calls it outrageous that a children’s party is ‘hacked’ by political organizations.
“I did my story on stage. We were then pushed, scolded and therefore quickly left.
I am disappointed for the kids! They are the victim of this, “writes the singer.
Indignant reactions
The National Coordinator for the fight against Anti -Semitism (NCAB) has responded to the decision of Douwe Bob with indignation. “The exclusion of the Jewish community for cultural expressions is a worrying step in a climate that exchanges humanity and equality for polarization and loss of the other, which stands for you,” said the NCAB.
VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz goes one step further and writes: “Eighty years after” this never again “it happens again. Daily. In Amsterdam. Children are refused a performance for who they are: Jewish,” she writes. “It won’t even make it to the news. So normal has become Jewish hatred.”
