Brand bij synagoge: 'De buurt is bang'

I'm Rick and today Sophie, Dan and I are taking a walk through the news.

We found something pretty interesting about how we use our phones and screens.

Stick around to find out what we are chatting about.

No, but seriously, you have to hear what I read on NOS.

Oh no, I read the whole NOS again.

And now.nl also sure?

Yes, yes, definitely.

But Luster, he's a brand in a synagogue in Rotterdam.

Oh no, really?

Yes, and the people in the Jewish community are now afraid.

They say that they feel afraid.

That's what I'm saying.

That's not normal. A brand in a synagogue.

No, that's very strange. Is it an accident?

I don't know exactly, but it's very serious.

Yes, Rotterdam is a big city, but this is all the time.

Right. And the people in the city are afraid too, I think.

But wait, is the synagogue gone or is it still okay?

I don't read exactly where the brand was, but it was brand.

That's true.

Yes, that's not okay.

No, indeed, poor people.

Typical Netherlands again, huh?

You think it's dangerous here?

Well yes, the Netherlands is dangerous, compared to other countries.

Yes, but yes, a synagogue in the brand is still bizarre.

Yes, I understand what you mean. It doesn't feel good.

No, that's right, but it happens everywhere.

Do you know what the best part is?

The comments on Nu.nl are even worse.

Of course, I read the comments too.

Yes, of course. That's the most interesting part.

The comments on Nu.nl are always a ramp.

All the time, people become so bored online, it's really bizarre.

But well, what do the people say in the comments?

Oh, the only one says this, the other one says that.

Political, Russian, more political, typical.

And what does it mean more than that?

I don't really know exactly.

I read the article now.

He reads it now as well.

I read the news, but he doesn't read it yet.

No, I read it all.

But the article is not so long.

Okay, okay. But seriously, this is a serious problem.

Yes, the Jewish community is also small in the Netherlands.

Yes, and if people are afraid of their own state, that's not good.

No, they have to be safe. That's normal.

Exactly, everyone has to be safe in the Netherlands.

Yes, with one. But yes, the reality is something else.

That's true, but we have to say it well as it happens.

Absolutely, others don't change.

Well, that's deep down.

Normally you say nothing.

I always say something.

No, I always say something.

You're a liar.

That's a liar, liar is good.

Yes, but now you're talking.

Yes, because this work is important.

That's true, this is serious than normal.

But well, I think it's good that NOS brings this.

Yes, people have to know this.

Right, but I ask myself what the police does.

Good question. They search for it, which is probably...

Hopefully they will find it quickly.

Yes, and hopefully the people feel better in the community.

Yes, I think that lasts.

Yes, fear won't go away so quickly.

No, that's what I'm saying.

Trust me, where did you read all this?

Only NOS?

NOS, Nu.nl, Somst the Volkskrant, you know.

And the comments, so...

Yes, the comments are also news.

Rick, you're really sleeping on news.

Maybe, but then I always know everything.

That's true, Rick is our personal country.

Exactly, free and always available.

But sometimes also a lot of information.

No, yo, information is always good.

Well, yes, the comments on Nu.nl maybe not.

Okay, they are really not good.

But okay, let's just walk normally.

My legs are soft.

Yes, I walk along.

Okay, okay.

But I think it's very important to share.

Yes, that's enough. It's a serious story.

Absolutely.

Good that you're part of Rick.

See ya?

My news for slapping is nutter.

Somst welja.
