Video: Suspect sought for throwing ammonia
at police during Amsterdam pro-Palestine rally
Police are still looking for a man who threw a bottle of ammonia at riot police officers during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Amsterdam in May. The bottle was likely bought right before the demonstration at a nearby supermarket on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, according to television show Opsporing Verzocht.
An officer was hit by a bottle of ammonia during the protest in the Amsterdam city center, which left him unable to see. He was treated for the injury in the hospital. Other riot police officers suffered from severe breathing problems, and some reported having vomited.
Exposure to ammonia is painful and frightening as it can take your breath away.
The police investigated where the bottle may have come from. The investigation revealed that four bottles were bought at an Albert Heijn on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal across the street from the Royal Palace about 30 minutes before the incident. But the police were unable to determine who purchased the bottles.
In Opsporing Verzocht, images showing the man throwing the bottle from the crowd were broadcast. These images have already been shared by the police.
The incident took place on May 8. There was a demonstration earlier in the day in and around the buildings of the University of Amsterdam at the Binnengasthuisterrein. Some of the demonstrators moved to the Rokin after the protest ended, where they also clashed with the police.
Dutch population growing more slowly
than last year due to lower immigration
The Netherlands population grew by 85,300 people in the first three quarters of 2024. That is much slower than in the same period last year when the population grew by almost 108,900 people, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reported. The lower population growth is mostly due to fewer immigrants coming to the Netherlands. The number of immigrants from other EU countries fell in particular. At the end of September, the Netherlands had 18.03 million inhabitants.
In the first nine months of this year, 243,000 people settled in the Netherlands and 154,000 moved abroad. The migration balance, immigration minus emigration, amounted to 89,000 - over 20,000 lower than in the same period of 2023. There were 18,000 fewer immigrants and 4,000 more emigrants.
Population growth was entirely due to migration. Natural population growth has been negative in the Netherlands since last year, with more people dying than babies being born. In the first three quarters of 2024, over 128,000 people died and almost 125,000 babies were born. Natural population growth was therefore -3,000. “Natural growth became more negative in 2024 because mortality increased further. This can be attributed to the aging population.”
On balance, most immigrants came to the Netherlands from Asia in the first nine months of 2024. The number of Sirians and Iraqis - mostly asylum seekers - increased compared to a year earlier. The number of immigrants from India, mostly migrant workers, decreased sharply.
“The most striking change compared to 2023 concerns the migration of people from Europe,” CBS said. “The migration balance with other European countries of origin decreased by over a third.” Fewer immigrants from Ukraine and Russia came to the Netherlands. There were also fewer people from other EU countries, while more emigrated out of the Netherlands.
People migrate within the EU mainly for work, study, or family. The Netherlands has had a positive migration balance with almost all EU countries in recent years, meaning that immigration was higher than emigration. In the first nine months of this year, the Netherlands’ migration balance of EU citizens was +17,000. “In recent years, the positive migration has fallen sharply because immigration decreased and emigration increased,” CBS said. Last year, the EU migration balance was +28,000, and in 2022, it was +35,000.
People may be anticipating an increase in violence as the right-wing government intends to reduce the number and influence of Muslims.
UK: Jihad murderers roam the streets —
they can’t be deported due to
European human rights laws
The European Court of Human Rights clearly doesn’t care if these men rack up more victims. The rights of the victims don’t matter. Only the rights of the jihad terrorists matter.
Revealed: The terrorists we’re not allowed to deport: Foreign extremists are living freely in Britain thanks to European human rights laws
by David Barrett, Sam Greenhill, Ryan Hooper and Dan Barker, Daily Mail, October 25, 2024:
Foreign terrorists including a machine gun killer and mass-murder fanatics are living freely in Britain thanks to European human rights laws, the Mail can reveal.
Despite committing barbaric atrocities, the extremists cannot be deported in case they would face hardships in their home countries.
One who sprayed bullets into a London hotel lobby was spotted out shopping this week, while others who helped fanatics bent on attacking scores of commuters were able to stroll through the same leafy neighbourhoods they can call home.
The Mail examined the cases of five men born abroad who committed terror offences in Britain.
Yet repeated efforts to deport them after completing their prison sentences have failed because of European laws.
It comes as the issue of whether Britain should leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) has become a clear dividing line in the Conservative Party leadership contest, for which voting closes next week.
Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has made leaving the ECHR a key pledge, saying the party will ‘die’ unless it does so.
Amazing! He's not worried about the little girls, the Jews, and all the other terror victims, he's worried about the Party. Good grief!
His rival Kemi Badenoch told the Mail this week that while she agreed in principle on the ‘need to leave’, she insisted other countries found it easier to operate under the ECHR than Britain, adding: ‘It’s a judgment thing, more than an ECHR thing.’
Last night Mr Jenrick said: ‘These sick and evil men are still in our country, endangering the public, because the ECHR prevents their removal….
The Mail understands that in some cases – including those involving foreign nationals convicted of terrorism – the Home Office has not even attempted to challenge human rights claims in the courts because the likelihood of success is so low….
Among the cases examined by the Mail this week is that of Fahad Mihyi, a Palestinian killer who attacked guests at a London hotel with hand grenades and a machine gun in 1978.
Another is Wahbi Mohammed, from Somalia, who was jailed for his part in the 2005 21/7 terror attack in London, two weeks after the 7/7 attack which killed 52 people….
In another farcical twist yesterday, Algerian terrorist Mourad Mosdefaoui, who is living in Edinburgh, told the Mail he ‘wished’ he could be deported to his home country, but claimed Algeria had three times refused to give him a passport….

German government invests $8,500,000
in Moroccan ‘green mosques’
And they’re excited about “the project’s gender equality efforts.”
Isn’t this swell? The green mosques in Morocco are going to stop preaching jihad, and will instead emphasize peaceful coexistence and mutual respect. Right? Won’t they?
Germany invests $8.5m in Morocco ‘green mosques’
Middle East Monitor, October 27, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The German government has invested $8.5 million (€8.09 million) in a project to boost energy efficiency and renewable energy in mosques across Morocco. The initiative, titled “Promoting Employment through Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Mosques,” was run by the Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) from 2015 to 2021, funded by Germany’s Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
According to Morocco World News, of the total budget, $6.3 million (€5.99 million) went towards expert deployment for advisory, planning, and implementation measures. A further $424,000 (€404,000) was spent on materials such as LED lights, solar water heaters, and photovoltaic panels, while administrative expenses and taxes accounted for $1.11 million (€1.06 million).
The project involved training for local companies, skilled workers, and mosque teachers, including imams, to highlight the benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy. The BMZ noted that models for installing and maintaining these energy systems were also developed.
The German government emphasised the project’s gender equality efforts, noting that by August 2019, six of the nine employees were women. “The project has achieved its goals of promoting business and employment opportunities in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy,” the government said, adding that it had been “well received” by the local population….
How well is it being received by the tax payers of Germany, is the question? What's in it for them. This is a totally 'woke' program from start to finish, which means it is completely unnecessary, unless Morocco is will to take a few tens of thousands of Muslim migrants.
