Dutch police plan decoy Jews

That may or may not be a genuine Jewish person you see walking around Amsterdam.

In a bid to reduce antisemitic hate crime Dutch police have revealed plans to post “decoy Jews” around the city.

If the idea is approved by the city’s mayor, police will be dressed in religious clothing and posted in Jewish neighbourhoods to catch out attackers.

Authorities have reported a rise in antisemitic assaults in several Dutch cities, with Jews in some Amsterdam areas reportedly unable to “cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked”.
