Netherlands: Labor Party candidate posts antisemitic, anti-Israel material


Natasha Elfrink is the Dutch Labor Party's candidate in Arnhem.

On the Muslim site "Wij Blijven Hier" (We're Staying Here), she explains why she's not an antisemite (h/t joods.nl).

To summarize:

She was eight when Mohammed el Durah was killed, and she sympathized with him.  As time passed, her empathy for the Palestinians grew.  She writes that she wasn't blind, she also saw the suicide attacks against innocent Israelis.  But those were desperate cries for help.  "Where you sow hate, you'll also reap hate".

She felt very insulted when she was first accused of being an antisemite.  She does not think that the Holocaust is justification for the suffering of the Palestinians.  Calling her an antisemite for saying so is just a way for the Israeli regime to shut people up.

Anyway.

Natasha Elfrink is also a Facebook member of many Palestinian groups.  She's also signed up to various Jihadi, Islmist, and Sharia groups.  A Facebook group called "Who is Natasha Elfrink" is currently following up on the friends of this Labor candidate.

When confronted about it, she said that she signed up for groups she did not agree with for her studies (Islam and Arabic at Radboud University).

In any case, she participated in World Hijab Day.  She retweets 'Free Koran' giveaways.

On her twitter feed she jubilates over freed Palestinian terrorists.



In mid-December, Israel was hit by a major storm.  For several days thousands were left without electricity and in some cases, water.

Elfrink focused on the 'real' news, and wrote: "Look.  I think this is outrageous.  And you know why?  On December 14, Israel flooded Gaza.  Not a word about it in the media."



You know why the media did not report it?  Because no such thing happened.  It was yet another Palestinian blood libel against the Jews.

Elfrnk is not antisemitic because she thinks the Palestinians got a raw deal.  She's antisemitic because she believes conspiracy theories against Israel.  Because she's happy when a Jew-murderer goes free.  And because she justifies terrorism against Jews.

When the victims are Arabs, she sympathizes.  Nothing justifies their suffering.  When the victims are Jews, she sympathizes with their persecutors.  Because it's understandable.

Note to Elfrink: If you 'understand' and 'sympathize' when people kill Jews, you're an antisemite.
