(Dutch News) Stripping dual nationals of their Dutch passports if they are found guilty of anti-Semitism has been backed by the right-wing Dutch coalition, in the wake of last week’s trouble in Amsterdam.
The far-right PVV, the pro-countryside BBB and the right-wing liberal VVD all came out in favour of the idea during Wednesday’s debate on the football-related violence, in which Israeli nationals were targeted. The fourth coalition party NSC has not yet given a concrete reaction to the plan.
Currently people can only be stripped of their Dutch nationality if they are convicted of terrorism offences or form a threat to national security.
Anti-Semitism is a form of terror, prime minister Dick Schoof said during the debate.
