Dutch Jew's Bldg. Firebombed Due to Israeli Flag; Woman Put Up Flag on Balcony to Support Israel

A Jewish woman -- who displayed an Israeli flag from her balcony in Amsterdam -- was targeted with a firebomb and death threats, the Forward (Jewish) website reports today (July 31, 2014).

The firebomb landed on the balcony of neighbors of Leah Rabinovitch, a Mexico-born Jewish woman who flew the Israeli flag on Amsterdam's Kruger Square, located in an eastern neighborhood heavily populated with Moroccan immigrants.

According to the FokNews website, the firebomb landed on a neighbor's balcony. FokNews also reported that a stone that was hurled at Rabinovitch's apartment smashed a window and that one of the death threats sent to Rabinovitch read: "Heil Hitler, Hitler is coming back, Jews must die."

Rabinovitch and her partner put out the flag several weeks ago as a sign of solidarity with Israel's assault on Hamas in Gaza. Their downstairs neighbors displayed on their balcony a Palestinian flag, and demanded that Rabinovitch remove her flag.
