Dutch Jewish groups have spoken out against Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Party for Freedom, after he told supporters that he would reduce the number of Moroccans in the country, the JTA has reported.
Mr Wilders asked his supporters at a post-election celebration in March whether they wanted “fewer or more Moroccans”.
To their chants of “fewer”, he said that he would “take care of it”.
Although Mr Wilder’s strident support for Israel and his anti-Islamist stance has made him popular among Jews at home and abroad, Dutch Jewish umbrella group, the CJO, released a statement saying they were horrified by his comments about Moroccans.
