Douwe Bob did that because he said he had seen ‘a Zionist poster and pamphlets’. “I love the Jewish community, but I am against Zionism,” he said from the stage. “That’s why I can’t play. Sorry.”
Due to threats, Douwe Bob now says he is on his way abroad. “To guarantee the safety of my family and myself, we have decided to leave for the time being. On the advice of the police, “he writes in a post on Instagram. When asked, the police said they would not want to make any statements about this.
At the post is a video in which the singer at Talkshow Renze explains why he didn’t want to perform. According to Douwe Bob, the image is unjustly sketched that he did not want to play for children because of their Jewish descent. “If I heard that about me, I would honestly also be furious. Fortunately this is a total lie and I refute it in this fragment of the day before yesterday at Renze.”
