Police in Amsterdam have an unusual new plan to combat the rising tide of anti-Semitism testing that famous Dutch tolerance. It’s a novel idea, which seems to be the main reason it’s gotten international media attention, but the idea of “decoy Jews” really isn’t that strange. Instead of having cops pose as johns in a prostitution sting or as druggies when trying to nab a dealer — by the way, I’m not sure either of those vices are illicit in Amsterdam — cops will disguise themselves as observant Jews to catch anti-Semites in the act.

In other words, this is a problem that’s been around for a while — it runs deep enough that some politicians think it’s provocation, a crime, to make a cop look like a Jew because, you know, some people really can’t stand the sight of Jews — and one that probably can’t be solved by “decoy Jews” alone. The politicians and police officials acknowledge this in the stories. What isn’t acknowledged is that anti-Semitism in Amsterdam has competition from plenty of its neighbors.
