The surprise winner of last Wednesday’s election in the Netherlands is the longest-serving member of the Dutch House of Representatives: Geert Wilders. The far-right politician—known primarily for his anti-Islam radicalism, his pro-Putin views, and his hairdo—was first elected in 1998, but for years, he was shut out from the governing coalitions. Now, however, he holds the whip hand. His Party for Freedom (PVV) won 37 seats out of 150, up from 17 two years ago, dramatically outperforming the polls and placing well ahead of its closest competitor, the joint list of the Greens and the Labor Party (GL-PvdA).

But the path from there to becoming prime minister is a long and uncertain one.

In fact, the PVV had been subject to a cordon sanitaire ever since the fall of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s first government in 2012, which it had supported (and which for that reason was colloquially referred to as Brown I, after the fascist brownshirts, instead of Rutte I). The PVV’s platform calls for bans on the Quran, on mosques, and on Islamic schools; a retraction of the Dutch king’s apology for slavery and the restoration of blackface at St. Nicholas celebrations; as well as an abolition of asylum and of free movement of workers within the European Union. Even by the standards of contemporary national conservatives, the platform is made up of a poisonous mix of heinous impulses.

Wilders maintained his presence in parliament, but his appeal and influence were limited while his caucus calcified, as it has now: Eight of the 10 longest-serving members in the new Dutch House are PVV members. But Wilders is the only member of the party as a legal entity, and its absolute ruler as a result, unbound by leadership elections or other concerns. The party does not organize conferences and such, and many of its incoming representatives do not know each other or their new colleagues. Combine that with the lack of outside options, thanks to the party’s reputation, for Wilders’s elected officials, and you end up with a predictable caucus of goons and misfits.

The explicit agreement among mainstream parties to exclude Wilders from governing coalitions came to an end this summer. Rutte brought down his own government over a minor disagreement with one of his coalition partners, the Christian Union, over family reunification rules for asylum recipients. Rutte’s successor as VVD party leader, Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgoz, then opened the door to cooperation with the PVV to rally voters who favor a right-wing government around her.

Wilders jumped at the opportunity and claimed that his priorities had shifted toward health care and economic anxiety. The Dutch media ecosystem complied and started referring to him as “Geert Milders.” As he started rising in the polls, especially after the conflict in Gaza broke out, Yesilgoz tried to walk back her earlier words.

Too little, too late: Voters preferred the original over the copy. In that sense, Wilders’s rise fits American political scientist Larry Bartels’s thesis—that democracy erodes from the top—almost perfectly.

While that is the immediate explanation for Wilders’s success, alarms bells about discontent among a large group of voters—and an openness to wild options—had been ringing for some time. Earlier this year, the agrarian-populist Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) became the largest party in the Dutch Senate after winning the provincial elections on its first try. In 2019, the radical-right conspiracy theorists of Forum for Democracy had similarly made their Senate debut as the largest party.

This impulse predates Wilders’s founding of the PVV in 2006: The right-populist Pim Fortuyn List broke through with 26 seats in 2002 after its eponymous founder was murdered by an animal rights activist. It also extends beyond voters open to Wilders’s message. On Wednesday, in addition to Wilders’s large gains, a new party (the New Social Contract) led by former Christian-Democrat Pieter Omtzigt, the second-most veteran member of the Dutch House, secured 20 seats mere months after its founding.

It is not obvious what the Dutch political class can or will plausibly do to address this discontent. It is not merely a thermostatic response to left-wing policy: Eternal prime minister Mark Rutte has mostly led fairly bland center-right governments since he entered office in 2010, while his predecessor was a Christian-Democrat.

In fact, there is a bloc of voters whose expressed wishes are so far out of line with majority opinion and with the domestic and international legal frameworks that the Netherlands has spent decades developing and promoting that they will not be satisfied by any realistic policy changes. These voters include the 50 percent of Wilders’s supporters who have been loyal to him for the past decade, and those who have stuck with the Forum for Democracy as even its own elected officials fled the party’s mix of antisemitism, anti-vaccine lunacy, racism, and love of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Like comparable voters in other countries, they are heavily male, lower-income, less likely to hold a college degree, and detached from social networks.

Disaffected voters outside of Wilders’ core supporters harbor a mix of concerns that include some where policy and governance could and should be improved—though that’s easier said than done. The nitrogen emission crisis that catapulted the BBB to its Senate victory requires difficult choices over land use—between agricultural activity, housing, infrastructure, and nature preservation—that simply need to be made instead of paralyzing the country for years.

Relatedly, housing policy in the Netherlands, as in the United States and elsewhere in the West, has been a disaster for decades. Limited construction in the face of ongoing urbanization, population growth, and ever decreasing household size has placed home ownership and even the ability to rent out of reach for far too many. Too many Dutch politicians, including mainstream ones, try to place the blame for these problems, which are of their own making, on migrants.

The Dutch system of capital income taxation is in flux after elements of it were struck down by the courts. Natural gas extraction in the northeast, suspended last month, caused earthquakes and significant damage: Many affected homeowners still await compensation. The child care benefit scandal that ended Rutte’s third government and made Omtzigt’s career ruined the lives of thousands of families, many of whom still await compensation as well.

But are these areas where a Wilders government would dramatically improve matters? Take the child care benefit scandal, the biggest political scandal in the Netherlands in recent years. The Dutch tax agency concluded it had targeted victimized families on the basis of national origin, donations to mosques, and “not looking Dutch.” It’s like putting U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez in charge of monitoring the Egyptian government’s human rights record.

On the international front, there are ways to reduce immigration at the margin: by forcing Dutch universities to offer more instruction in Dutch or by raising taxes on high-skilled immigrants. Such changes would be costly to institutions of higher learning, the Dutch knowledge economy, and industrial champions such as ASML, and I’m sure some of these same voters would complain about that in turn. The Netherlands could scale down its climate agenda somewhat, though significant aspects of it are managed at the EU level. And the country could return to its traditional position of budgetary hawkishness within the European Union after a brief excursion to Club Med—though Wilders’s platform, which calls for a lower pension age, reduced VAT, and more public health care spending, goes in the opposite direction.

But whether it’s immigration, EU membership, religious freedom, or Dutch support for Ukraine, there simply is no path forward for the dramatic policy shifts envisioned by Wilders and his ilk. There is no pro-Putin majority among Dutch MPs (or voters). The Netherlands is not going to leave the EU and reintroduce the guilder or convince NATO to expel Turkey. It is not going to abolish its representation in Ramallah because “it already has an embassy in Amman,” as the PVV stated in its election manifesto.

In fact, let’s not get ahead of ourselves: It is not at all obvious that there is a majority in the Dutch House that supports a government led by Wilders or one that his party participates in. The two indispensable parties for any majority are Omtzigt’s New Social Contract and, as has been the case for years now, the VVD.

During the campaign, Omtzigt suggested that he would not govern with Wilders; he predictably changed his tune this week. It would be somewhat ironic if partnerships with Wilders became the unifying thread of the political career of Omtzigt, a man who has long claimed to care deeply about religious freedom. Those who recall how American warriors for religious freedom responded to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban will not be shocked.

The VVD has adopted a trickier position. Despite triggering the election and opening the door to Wilders, it has now announced that it’s tuning out. It is unwilling to join any coalition—though it would be willing to support a minority right-wing government, presumably formed by PVV, the New Social Contract, and BBB. Such a government would effectively be Rutte I in reverse, with the VVD and the PVV swapping places and the New Social Contract and BBB taking the place of the Christian-Democratic party that Omtzigt was then a part of.

Variations will surely be considered, and I imagine that Yesilgoz would happily join a coalition if she gets to be prime minister. Wilders is responsible for selecting a so-called “scout” to explore the possibilities. His first choice was forced to resign when news broke that Utrecht University, the scout’s former employer, had filed charges of fraud and bribery against him. The new beacon of hope for concerned citizens is Ronald Plasterk, a former education and home affairs minister for the Labor Party who has drifted to the right in recent years.

The alternative to a right-wing coalition—off the table while Wilders has the initiative—would be a broad centrist coalition in which the VVD and New Social Contract are joined by the GL-PvdA and either the liberal Democrats 66 party or the BBB. But even consideration of that option is unlikely to happen before 2024.

This route would not be a very satisfying outcome to many New Social Contract and VVD voters. At the same time, it would avoid not just Wilders, but also a coalition featuring two entirely new parties, including many inexperienced and unvetted PVV MPs. For the outgoing prime minister, who has set his sights on a leadership role at NATO or the European Commission, it would surely constitute a more attractive legacy. And at a time of geopolitical upheaval, it might be the responsible choice.

Though the size of Wilders’ win came as a major surprise, these two coalition options were basically already on the table based on preelection polling. Ironically, a shift to the right may well be less likely now than if Wilders had won fewer seats. As the leader of the largest party, he would traditionally become prime minister. To his potential coalition partners, that may be a bridge too far in a way that a less dominant role might not have been.

But regardless of the eventual outcome and whatever else may motivate his voters, Wilders’s victory is first and foremost a message of intense hatred toward the Netherlands’ ethnic and religious minorities as well as its immigrant population. The legitimation of Wilders’s open bigotry and the willingness of millions of Dutch voters to tell their neighbors and co-workers that they find their mere existence odious are, well, not great.

"The Mirage." From Surah Al Anfal, "The Spoils."

Ramadan Day 26

Extreme weather, earthquakes, violent crimes, wars, plans for more wars, rampant terrorism, violent crimes, diseases, famines, thirst, and traffic james are rife. There are no discussions of hope just pointless arguments and constant distractions.

We have only this Account left behind by the Prophet Muhammad to remind us of other things. In the following section he discusses the proper use and distribution of wealth, a lesson mankind needs right about now: and kind of wealth is it? It is called discretion and it is not to be wasted.

8: 36-40:

Surely the disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder others from the Path of Allah. They will continue to spend to the point of regret. Then they will be defeated and the disbelievers will be driven into Hell,

so Allah may separate the evil from the good. He will pile up the evil ones all together and then cast them into Hell. They are the ˹true˺ losers.

Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.

Fight against them until there is no more persecution—and ˹your˺ devotion will be entirely to Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

And if they do not comply, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper!

Commentary:

There simply must be a more powerful fight against the unbelievers. We are pretending and they are not. The world's supervisors are not doing their jobs. The world is not at peace, it is not performing as God said. Muhammad said if we are experiencing regret it is time to stop.

There must not be corruption on this world, there cannot be fighting, waste, abuse, poverty, or indiscretion. All who believe in God must make an Account of the authority of God in these matters and become the Helpers God knows we all need.

The Values in Gematria are:

v 36: They will continue to spend to the point of regret. The Value in Gematria is 12390 יבגטאֶפֶס‎, "You will wish you climbed up."

v. 37: So Allah can separate the evil from the good. The Value in Gematria is 7163, זאוג‎‎, "a pair."

v. 38: And tell the disbelievers if they persist they will be destroyed. The Value in Gematria is 9055, טאֶפֶסהה‎ ‎ , tapesha, "a conception, a comprehension."

v. 39: Fight against them. The Value in Gematria is 9686, טו‎חו‎, "find the range and clean it."

In order to understand what this means we have to change channels back to the Quran where the word "pairs" are found. Muhammad means there are pairs of opposites within every situation that are at odds with each other. The Gematria says to go up, which also means to "clean up" and finally, to commit to the path of Masjid. This is all expressed brilliantly in An Naba:

1. What are they asking (one another)? 2. About the great news, (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism, the Qur'ân, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 3. About which they are in disagreement. 4. Nay, they will come to know! 5. Nay, again, they will come to know! 6. Have We not made the earth as a bed, 7. And the mountains as pegs? 8. And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 9. And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 10. And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 11. And have made the day for livelihood. 12. And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 13. And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 14. And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 15. That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 16. And gardens of thick growth. 17. Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 18. The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 19. And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 20. And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.

There cannot be pairs. As the Rab says about God, "He is Kedush [holy] so we must also be Kedush."

Man must begin behaving in a Godlike way- his conduct must improve and he must as moral, ethical, and as kind as Him:

v. 40 Know that Allah is your Protector. The Value in Gematria is 7996, ז‎טטו‎ zetto, "Sign on the line."

Shalat Tarawih Bagi yang Kerja Malam Hari

Dalam acara Fatawa Ramadhan di Radio Al Quran Saudi, seseorang bertanya kepada Syaikh Prof. Dr. Sa'ad bin Turki Al Khotslan:

Ya Syaikh, saya bekerja sebagai penjaga toko. Apakah saya boleh shalat tarawih berjamaah dengan meninggalkan tugas saya?

Dijawab oleh Syaikh:

Kerja menjaga toko adalah kewajiban anda, sedangkan shalat tarawih hukumnya adalah sunnah.

Sesuatu yang wajib harus didahulukan dari yang sunnah.

Lakukan pekerjaaan anda menjaga toko, setelah selesai, anda bisa shalat tarawih sendirian di rumah.

---

Pertanyaan dan jawaban disiarkan langsung dari Radio Idzaatul Quran Riyadh, 100 MHz pada Selasa, 18 Oktober 2024.

➖➖➖➖

TAMBAHAN:

🌍🌸 HAL SHOLAT TARAWIH BERJAMA'AH ATAU BERSENDIRI DAN BERAPA JUMLAH ROKA'ATNYA 🌿

🔹Pertanyaan:

Saya shalat tarawih di rumah krn ingin 11 rakaat, mesjid di kompleks, 23 rakaat.

Lalu saya tidur dulu, kemudian bangun menjelang Sahur untuk shalat Tahajjud.

Bagaimana ini, boleh kah?

💠 Jawaban singkat:

Sholat Sunnah apapun itu, minimal 2 roka'at. Lalu jika malam, rangkaian sholat Sunnah itu, ditutup dengan roka'at ganjil/Witr, yang minimal 1 roka'at. Sesuai nasihat di banyak Hadits.

Total roka'atnya, terserah anda. Rosuululloh shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam biasa mengerjakannya 11 roka'at, kadang 9 roka'at, kadang 13 roka'at. Misalnya anda lakukan 17 roka'at atau 27 roka'at atau 37 atau 7 roka'at pun, dsb.; silakan saja. Ini sholat Sunnah. Bukan Wajib/Fardhu.

Asalkan dilakukan dengan ikhlash, khusyu', thuma'ninah, tartilan, dsb., tentunya.

Manakala di bulan Romadhon, Sholat Sunnah Malam Hari (atau Sholatul Lail/Qiyamul Lail) lalu oleh Madzhab Syafi'iyyaah, menjadi biasa disebut sebagai: Sholatut Tarawih.

Yang intinya adalah sholat Sunnah Sholatul Lail yang ditutup dengan roka'at Witr.

Sekali lagi, Rosuululloh shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam biasa mengerjakannya 11 roka'at, kadang 9 roka'at, kadang 13 roka'at.

Dan juga kadang dengan berjama'ah, lebih sering bersendiri.

Baik di bulan Romadhon maupun di luar Romadhon.

Dan jika tidak mampu membaca surah-surah yang panjang (+), maka bacalah yang pendek-pendek.

Yang penting mencapai derajat Ihsaan (*), thuma'ninah, khusyu', dan memahami serta melaksanakan isi surah-surah itu.

(*) Bulan ujian Puasa Romadhon juga sarana mencapai derajat Ihsaan.

(+) Anda boleh memegang mushaf saat sholat dan membacaya, jika tak hafal surahnya.

Anda juga boleh saja tidak langsung melakukannya setelah sholat fardhu Isyaa'.

Dapat saja anda tunda dulu seluruhnya untuk nanti dikerjakan setelah tengah malam hingga menjelang Subuh.

Atau anda kerjakan sebagian langsung setelah sholat Isyaa', dan sebagian lain, berjeda, dilanjutkan nanti menjelang Subuh.

Dan macam-macam cara lain.

Hadits:

🌸 "Allaah ‘Azza wa Jalla mewajibkan puasa Romadhon dan aku mensunahkan sholat malam harinya (qiyamul lail). Barangsiapa berpuasa dan sholat malam dengan mengharapkan pahala (keridhoan) Allaah, maka dia keluar dari dosanya seperti bayi yang baru dilahirkan oleh ibunya."

(HR. Ahmad, Ibnu Majah. Al Bazzar, Abu Ya’la dan Abu Hurairoh)

🌿 Mengenai Sholatul Lail atau Qiyamul Lail atau Tarawih berjama'ah selama bulan ujian Romadhon:

🌸 Hadits dari An-Nu’man bin Basyir radhiyallahu ‘anhu, ia berkata:

“Pada malam 23 Romadhon, kami bersama Rosululloh - shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam - menegakkan sholat sunnah (tarawih) hingga sepertiga malam pertama."

"Kemudian pada malam 25 Romadhon, kami bersama beliau menegakkan sholat sunnah (tarawih) hingga separuh malam."

"Dan pada malam 27 Romadhon, kami mengerjakan shalat sunnah (tarawih) hingga kami menyangka tidak akan mendapat al-falah. (An-Nu’man bin Tsabit berkata, kami menyebut Sahur dengan sebutan al-falah).”

(HR. Ahmad)

Hadits ini menunjukkan bahwa Rosululloh - shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam - pernah mengerjakan sholat sunnah tarawih secara berjama'ah dengan para sahabat nabi, di Masjid Nabawi.

🌸 Hadits dari Tsa’labah bin Abu Malik rodhiyallahu ‘anhu, ia berkata:

“Pada suatu malam di bulan Romadhon, Rosululloh (shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam) keluar menuju masjid. Beliau mendapati para Shahabat sedang sholat di salah satu sisi masjid. Maka Rosululloh (shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam) bertanya: ‘Apa yang mereka lakukan?’

Salah seorang sahabat menjawab: ‘Wahai Rosululloh. Mereka adalah para sahabat, tidak ada di tengah-tengah mereka yang penghafal al-Qur’aan. Maka Ubay bin Ka’ab membacakan al-Qur’aan kepada mereka, lalu mereka pun sholat bersamanya.’

Maka Nabi - shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam - bersabda: ‘Mereka telah berbuat baik atau mereka telah berbuat sesuatu yang benar.’

Tsa’labah pun mengatakan: ‘Nabi tidak membenci apa yang diperbuat oleh para sahabat tersebut."

(HR. Al-Bazzar)

Hadits ini menunjukkan bahwa Rosululloh - shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam - menyetujui dan memuji perbuatan para Shahabat yang mengerjakan sholat tarawih secara berjama'ah dengan para Shahabat lain di masjid.

🌸 Namun, pada malam keempat, beliau tidak keluar lagi untuk sholat berjamaah. Ketika ditanya, apa alasan beliau, beliau bersabda:

“لَمْ أَخْرُجْ وَقَدْ نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكُمْ ثُمَّ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ”

“Aku tidak keluar dan padahal aku berniat untuk sholat bersama kalian. Kemudian aku khawatir jika sholat itu diwajibkan atas kalian.”

(HR. Bukhori dan Muslim)

Hadits ini menunjukkan bahwa Rosululloh - shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam - menghendaki agar sholat tarawih tetap menjadi sunnah dan tidak menjadi wajib. Beliau juga menghendaki agar umatnya tidak merasa berat dan bosan dalam mengerjakannya.

Dan lebih utama, bersama Imaam.

🌸 Dari Abu Dzar, Nabi shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam pernah mengumpulkan keluarga dan para Shaabatnya. Lalu beliau bersabda:

“Siapa yang sholat bersama imaam sampai ia selesai, maka ditulis untuknya pahala qiyam satu malam penuh.”

(HR Ahmad, An Nasai, Ibnu Majah, Tirmidzi)

Sholat sunnah malam bulan Romadhon/tarawih berjama'ah ini kemudian dilanjutkan oleh para Shahabat Nabi pada masa manajemen pemerintahan khilafah Abu Bakr, Umar bin Khattab, Utsman dan Ali rodhiyallahu ‘anhum.

Beliau, Umar, melihat bahwa para Shahabat Nabi - rodhiyallohu 'anhum - melakukan sholat tarawih itu, secara terpisah-pisah.

🌿 Maka beliau berkata:

“لَوْ جَمَعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا”

“Seandainya aku mengumpulkan mereka semua di bawah bacaan satu orang saja, pasti lebih baik.”

(HR. Bukhori)

Maka beliau pun mengumpulkan mereka di bawah imamah Ubay bin Ka’ab rodhiyallohu ‘anhu.

Dan kebiasaan sejak zaman Rosululloh - shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam - itu pun berlanjut sampai sekarang.

Dan perlu digaris bawahi, bahwa Sholatul Lail demikian, pun, tak patut berhenti di atau hanya dilaksanakan di bulan Romadhon saja. Jika memang anda mampu (dan dengan khusyu', tartilan, thuma'ninah, dst.). Karena Rosululloh - shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam - melakukan sholat Sunnah Malam (Sholatul Lail), baik di bulan Romadhon maupun di luar/bukan bulan Romadhon.

Demikian.

Wallohua'lam. Wastaghfirulloh. Walhamdulillaah.

- Catatan ATM (Abu Taqi Mayestino).

More Alleged Contradictions: #17

Where are the Jinns?

a. On earth and they cannot get to the havens (55:33)

b. In the heavens and they cannot get to earth (37:6-7)

55:33: O assembly of jinn and humans! If you can penetrate beyond the realms of the heavens and the earth, then do so. But you cannot do that without Our authority.

37:6-7: Indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven with the stars for decoration and for protection from every rebellious devil.

From every previous mention of jinn that I can recall, the Quran states that they live on a separate plane. 55:33, in my interpretation, drives home to message that none will be able to escape God's Judgment. When all are gathered to be questioned, they cannot leave earth, nor can anyone broach Heaven, save by God's Will. If we're following the verse with literal association in mind, jinn cannot penetrate heaven. 37:6-7 confirms that the lowest heaven already prevents them from doing so. Verses following 37:6-7 describe it as a kind of defense system, even against eavesdroppers.

This alleged contradiction loses its footing when the context of 55:33 is taken into consideration. Therefore, I do not see a contradiction here.

(JTA) — The Dutch elections in November sent shockwaves through Europe, as voters delivered victory to Geert Wilders, a hard-right populist known for crusading against Islam, immigrants and the European Union — along with professing support for Israel.

But for some Dutch Jews, who have watched an atmosphere of fear and antisemitism grow since the Israel-Hamas war began on Oct. 7, the results were less surprising.

Wilders’s Party for Freedom (PVV) beat all predictions on Nov. 22, winning 37 of the 150 seats in parliament (or 23.6% of the vote) and far outstripping the second place Labor-Green alliance. After decades on the political fringe, Wilders has begun negotiating to form a government with himself as the next prime minister of the Netherlands.

The firebrand politician, whose “Netherlands first” rhetoric and blond-dyed bouffant hair earned him comparisons to Donald Trump, has long made anti-Islam policies a centerpiece of his agenda. Along with demanding a halt to the country’s “asylum tsunami,” he has called for a ban on Islamic schools, Qurans and mosques. A court found him guilty on insult charges after he led supporters in a chant for “fewer” Moroccans in the Netherlands at a 2016 campaign rally. In 2009, he was refused entry to the United Kingdom on the way to screen his film “Fitna,” which associated the Quran with terrorism and sparked international protests.

Following 13 years of a center-right government under former Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Wilders’ victory was broadly called one of the country’s “biggest political upsets” since World War II. His party’s surge came very late in the campaign, and Wilders himself didn’t seem to expect the result, reportedly renting a room as party headquarters for election night only three days beforehand.

That timing corresponds with weeks of public outcry over Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, which has sometimes morphed into aggression against Dutch Jews, according to Esther Voet, editor-in-chief of the Nieuw Israelietisch Weekblad (known in English as the Dutch Jewish Weekly).

“A few weeks ago, he only had between 13 and 17 seats,” Voet told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “This started a few weeks ago — since we’ve seen all the aggression in the streets — that he rose so much in the polls.”

Voet believes that Wilders benefited from a swell of open prejudice against Jews in the Netherlands. One watchdog documented an 818% increase in antisemitic incidents in October, ranging from assaults in schools to the tearing down of mezuzahs to swastikas painted on Jewish homes. Voet said some Jewish voters believed they would be protected by Wilders, who has touted his support for Israel as the Netherlands’ “close friend” and condemned antisemitism since Oct. 7.

Dutch Jews have historically opposed right-wing populist parties, but some shifted their views on Wilders sharply in recent weeks, said Voet. A Dutch Jewish Weekly poll in 2017 found that Jews were less open to voting for Wilders than the broader Dutch public was, with 10% of respondents expressing support for PVV compared with 15% of the public in general opinion polls. The most popular party among Jews was Rutte’s then-ruling People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, followed by the center-left Labor Party.

“I have a lot of Jewish friends who are on the left side of the political spectrum, who voted for PVV because of what they saw in the last weeks,” said Voet.

Although he is not Jewish, Wilders volunteered on an Israeli kibbutz as a young man and is married to a Hungarian-Jewish former diplomat. He has also advocated for Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and suggested that all Palestinians should be relocated to Jordan.

Some Jewish organizations, including the Jewish news website Joods.nl, celebrated Wilders’ win as a victory for both Israel and Dutch Jews. On election day, the outlet posted a “Mazel tov” to Wilders alongside an Instagram post that read, “Hamas lost the elections.”

Lievnath Faber is the founder of Oy Vey, a progressive Jewish group that hosts events and discussions in Amsterdam. As antisemitic attacks surged in recent weeks, her colleague set up a WhatsApp “buddy system” for Jews across Amsterdam to check on each other and provide support.

“People are really needing to be together,” she told JTA. “For a lot of people, it’s very lonely to be Jewish now.”

However, Faber believes that Jews who voted for Wilders’ party were naively missguided by their “legitimate fears.”

“No matter what a politician might say — he might say he loves Jews and wants to protect Jews — we all know from our history, from our DNA that we are at risk when there is an extreme-right, anti-constitutional leader,” Faber said.

Jews constitute a small minority of about 30,000 people in the Dutch population of 17.7 million. Other voters who won Wilders the election say they were attracted by his promises to bring down taxes, healthcare and the cost of living. Some felt neglected by their government and resentful of migrants being granted homes amid the country’s housing crisis, according to Voet. Wilders also toned down his anti-Islam rhetoric during the campaign, although his manifesto still contains proposals to ban Qurans, mosques and Muslim headscarves.

Faber believes that Wilders’ victory has granted permission to a current of racism and xenophobia that abides in Dutch society — one that targets Muslims now, but might turn against Jews.

“If somebody in a public office voices things that are very racist, of course it also motivates other people to feel more comfortable doing that,” she said. “That’s one of the things that is scary about this win — what does it allow in the society?”
