(Jerusalem Post) The Dutch House of Representatives voted in favor of a motion calling to close mosques that preach the destruction of Israel, the House revealed on Tuesday.
The plenary comes amid significant debate among Dutch officials and lawmakers following the violent attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam earlier this month.
The motion, called “The closure of Salafist mosques and institutions that preach the destruction of the Jewish people and Israel,” passed 91 to 58.
Brought about by Caroline van der Plas, Geert Wilders, and Claudia van Zanten, the text states that “given that antisemitism and incitement to antisemitism are increasing, and this has led to a Jew-hunt, [the resolution] calls on the government to close Salafist mosques and institutions that propagate the destruction of the Jewish people and Israel.”
