To the "nonsense" of the "victims" of his less-Moroccan statements, Geert Wilders wouldn't listen today. He stayed away from his trial. And so missed allegations that Wilders "wants to start a Holocaust".
The Jewish organization CIDI issues a press release stating that it will file a complaint against Jeroen de Kreek from Amsterdam for its three anti-Semitic websites with titles like “list of jews, Holocaustfraud on Holocaustbedrog”. The provider does not want to take them offline because of the freedom of expression. These sites contain the names of Dutch Jews and punishable anti-Semitic expressions.
A ruling by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in an appeal case Jeroen de Kreek from Amsterdam because of his anti-Semitic statements on his website and insulting and threatening two politicians. For this he was acquitted in april 2015 for complete insanity and mental illness. Because Jeroen de Kreek no counsel turned on to serve in writing on means of appeal, his appeal inadmissible.
The Court of Appeal in Amsterdam a man declares in Amsterdam insanity in an appeal case. He places since 2011 all kinds of provocative anti-Semitic texts in various private websites. He also denied the Holocaust and threatened all sorts of politicians. The texts are indeed punishable, but the man has such a mental disorder, that he is not punished for.
2014 was marked by three issues: Zwarte Piet, the Israel-Gaza War and Jihad / IS.
Each of these issues was good for comments on the Dutch part of the Internet, responses were sadly often of a discriminatory nature. Especially in the matter 'Black Peter' many were (especially white Dutch ') are going pretty well with commentary on the war between Israel and Gaza splashed aggression and hatred regularly monitor. The separate study that accompanied the MDI did can be found on our website.
Before you lies the MDI Annual Report 2013. We are delighted that we have managed to also 2013 to continue our work. 15 year funding from the government, unfortunately, came this year because of budget cuts at the ministries in order. While combating all forms of discrimination on the Internet (and beyond) is more important than ever, the anti-discrimination policy in the Netherlands in recent years to erosion, which is reflected in the closure of institutions in our field and disinterest in governance, politicians and policymakers. This not only brings harm to combat discrimination but also sets the wrong tone towards society. Examples are the inertia that was laid on the day at the issue of anti-Semitic statements made by Turkish youth in Arnhem, the strange reactions to the (justly) critical report of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) about Netherlands (Labour party leader Samson wondered where Europe interfering himself and called the report 'weak', D66 leader Pechtold distanced himself greatly from the report) and last but not least the lethargy of the discriminatory 'jokes' Gordon, Daphne Bunskoek and Jack Spijkerman media. A lethargy that disappeared strangely entirely with the criticism because of Sinterklaas Zwarte Piet; a flurry of undisguised anti-black racism was the result. It is simply not able to expeditiously deal with discrimination and hate crimes. The "surprising" conclusion that anti-Semitism and gay hatred comes from minority groups
rather gives rise to relief ("You see, they do it ') than to care. The MDI of Magenta Foundation department is one of the victims of the 'new thinking' that has descended over Netherlands. Moreover, erroneous publicity about closure of the MDI ensured that the number of reports in 2013 decreased.

CIDI has been publishing 1983 annual overview of anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands. In this report, anti-Semitism is defined as: Jews treated differently than other people, and in particular your drawing hostile towards Jews on the basis of prejudice. Anti-Semitic incidents relate to events motivated by prejudice or hatred of the Jewish identity of the victim. This monitor uses a transparent and consistent registration system and thus provides an overview of developments in anti-Semitism in the Netherlands over the years. Reporting is not only important to indicate to what extent the number of incidents has increased- or decreased, but also shows the points on which policies should be developed.

The year 2011 was the second year in a row without any major Israeli action. CIDI registreerde113 antisemitic incidents 2011, tegen 124 in 2010. This fall, the total number of incidents is closer to the level before 2009, the year that caused the Israeli Operation Cast Lead in many countries for a peak. This recovery lasted two years and is not completely now. It was mainly due to a decrease in the number of hate mail incidents. Other, more direct confrontation surged. The same image gives Great Britain. In other Western European countries such as France and Belgium, the number of incidents in 2010 back to or below the level of the peak.
