The US committee says it’s shocking that in the Netherlands a religious leader should be denied the right to speak out on “centuries-old religious truths” and says it is not clear which Jews the Amsterdam orthodox Jewish community (NIHS) represents as it is formally part of the orthodox movement.
New Jersey Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, one of the signatories to the Declaration, says he knows what motivated the peculiar reaction of the Amsterdam orthodox Jewish community:

Chief Rabbi Ralbag was scheduled to meet with the NIHS in Amsterdam on Sunday evening but reportedly postponed his visit by several weeks after receiving death threats.
