Over the last few months the grounds around Re'im Park have been turned into a memorial for the victims, and hostages from the Nova music festival which was attacked by Hamas on the morning of Oct. 7th. The site has been expanded to include stories of the victims, including first responders, police, and military, with other large personalized memorials. On Oct. 7, 2023, members of Hamas mounted a series of attacks and raids on Israeli citizens in the Gaza Envelope border area of Israel. Some 251 Israelis and foreigners were kidnapped with nearly 100 still unaccounted for and 1,139 people were killed.

On Friday, Journalist Emily Schrader shared screenshots published by the Dutch current affairs website GeenStijl that appear to show anti-Israel activists planning an attack against Jews in Amsterdam. Through various social media apps, including WhatsApp and Telegram, activists discussed plans for going on a “Jew hunt.”

Schrader also highlighted the PGNL, which translates to Palestinian Community in the Netherlands. The activist group had organized a protest against Israel, relocating to the soccer stadium after their initial activity was canceled. PGNL shared a video on its Instagram page that shows a group of men forcing their way into a building, writing in the post: “Viva intifada viva Palestine.”
