    "Jews should consider leaving the Netherlands and going to America or Israel because of anti semitism, particularly among Dutch Moroccans, former VVD leader Frits Bolkestein told free newspaper De Pers.

    Bolkestein said he sees no future in the Netherlands for Jews who stand out, such as orthodox Jews. Arabic tv senders are largely to blame for the anti-Jewish sentiment, the former EU commissioner said."

    Anne Frank didn't stand out, for all the good it did HER in Holland.

    I think they're appliance warehouse clerks.  I don't see what they have to do with antisemitism.

    The Dutch are also often not terribly tolerant of Islam.

    I wonder if this has something to do with that.  Though the VVD, as far as I know, does not share the same xenophobic views as the far right parties.
