GIVING NEW MEANING TO 'ENTRAPMENT'

Lately in Amsterdam, Jews are regularly attacked verbally and physically in broad daylight by anti-Semitic thugs as they walk on the streets of the Dutch capital.
 
Amsterdam police officers are trying to catch the thugs by pounding the pavement dressed as Jews. The Dutch authorities hope that these decoys will be able to attract the Jew-haters and arrest them.

Apparently, some Dutch have a problem with punishing Jew-hating attackers. As Paul Belien reported in the Brussels Journal, "Evelien van Roemburg, an Amsterdam city council member from the Green Left Party, says that using a decoy by the police amounts to [entrapment], which is itself a criminal offence under Dutch law."

Van Roemburg must think that when Jewish-looking people go for a walk, they are asking for someone to kick the shit out of them.
