Man who photographed Synagogue arrested

On Saturday, the police in Amsterdam arrested a man who aroused suspicion near a Synagogue during prayers.  It appeared that he had taken a photograph of the Synagogue building.  This was stated on Monday by the C.I.D.I which monitors antisemitic incidents in Holland.  When the security guards asked the man what he was doing near the Synagogue, he started cursing them: “I know that you are guarding the Jewish building and Israeli people” he shouted.  “Cursed Jews, they killed you by gas in the Holocaust, what are you still doing here?”  After that, he became violent: “I am going to kick you.  I am an expert in Tai Kwando; you should be scared of me”.  The guards contacted the Police and held the man until the Police arrested him.
