Paid €3,000 To Bomb a Synagogue: Four Teens on Trial in Netherlands
11th June 2026
Four teenage suspects caused one synagogue explosion and attempted to cause a second—all for a €3,000 payment—a court in the Netherlands heard.
The quartet, all between 17 and 19 years old, was arrested on the night of March 13 outside a synagogue on Mozartlaan in Hillegersberg. Previously, an explosion had occurred at the Jewish house of prayer on ABN Davidsplein in Blijdorp. It is alleged that footage of this blast—started with gasoline and a firecracker—was sent to a handler using a messaging app.
The video was then circulated on the Telegram channel Alfaqaar. From here onwards, the attack was claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya. Despite this, the teens—three of the four of Antillean descent—through their lawyers argue that this is not a terror case.
Of course not. Perish the thought.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
