We call on all cultural spaces to resist - {intimidation and uphold the cultural boycott of Israel. And we call on the Dutch government to end its complicity in Israel’s genocide of Gaza.

This reversal reveals the alarming power of the Dutch Zionist lobby, which disseminates Islamophobic, xenophobic narratives and falsely conflates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. That conflation is not only intellectually dishonest but also dangerous: it fuels and distracts from real antisemitism while silencing legitimate criticism of a genocidal state. As Jews and allies, we reject the weaponization of our identities, histories, and religious practices to repress dissent and artwash genocide.

We are deeply disappointed that the Concertgebouw has bowed to Zionist pressure and reversed its decision to cancel the Chanukah Concert Foundation’s event featuring Shai Abramson, the chief cantor of the IOF. The Concertgebouw’s initial refusal to provide a stage to a representative of a military perpetrating mass atrocities was a principled position grounded in an understanding of the way Zionist propaganda, including through the arts, sustains a genocidal regime.

Video met Tofik Dibi. [vervolg van captions op Meta Instagram] "… Ik dank iedereen die z’n nek uitstak en meedeed met de actie. D, Baukje Harmsma, Yuval Gal, Shariff Nasr, Berber van der Woude, Sander, Ahlam Benali, Meld Islamofobie, European Legal Support Center, Docenten voor Palestina. Ik dank iedereen die support gaf via de inmiddels gesloten crowdfund voor de juridische back-up die ik daardoor had! Dat zal ik nooit vergeten. In goed overleg met de gemeente en met een zeer goede advocaat in de arm trok ik hierdoor niet aan het kortste eind. En dankzij die back-up kon ik ook actie ondernemen tegen de persoon die me heeft gedoxt. Het met kwade intenties delen van privégegevens is sinds 1 januari 2025 strafbaar. Om de ernst van de situatie te schetsen: ik slaap niet langer thuis omdat tienduizenden mensen toegang hebben tot mijn whereabouts. Ook nu zullen ze voor m’n nek komen. Maar deze keer ben ik geen ambtenaar meer. maar lijsttrekker van @politiek_bij1 - een partij die mijn en onze rug heeft. Ik voel grote dankbaarheid voor hoe jullie schouder aan schouder met me stonden en grote strijdvaardigheid om strengere regels te eisen tegen ongewenste buitenlandse inmenging via lobbyclubs in Nederland. Verbreek alle banden met partijen die de strijd tegen apartheid, etnische zuivering, illegale bezetting en genocide ondermijnen."
