Israeli-born Dutch politician calls for violence worse than Gaza against Palestinians
An Israeli-born right-wing Dutch lawmaker has called for the government to stop Palestinian refugees from entering the country "with more force than where they came from", prompting a complaint over incitement to violence.
Gidi Markuszower made the comments in a recent video interview with the media platform Left Laser.
Talking about Palestinian refugees, he repeatedly stated that they needed to be stopped from entering the country "with force".
"With force, maybe with even more force than what they fled from. They need to be stopped with force by the Netherlands and all of Europe," he said.
