Jews File a Complaint for Anti-Semitic Chant; Arabs Shouted "Kill Jews" at Rotterdam Rally

A Jewish umbrella group has filed a police complaint over demonstrators in Rotterdam, Holland, shouting in Arabic about killing Jews, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (August 31, 2017).


The Dutch Central Jewish Board said in a statement yesterday that the July 22 incident occurred at a rally advertised by a newly formed organization called the Palestinian Community in the Netherlands, or PGNL.


Participants in the rally, which was protesting the use of security measures by Israel around the Al-Aqsa mosque following a deadly terrorist attack there, shouted in Arabic, "Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Muhammad is returning," the statement said.


The cry relates to an event in the seventh century when Muslims massacred and expelled Jews from the town of Khaybar, located in modern-day Saudi Arabia.
