Cidi Reviews 7

A very unreliable and dangerous group that dismisses all criticism of Israel as antisemitism. In doing so, they restrict freedom of expression.

WARNING: CIDI are, themselves, Anti-Semitic ABUSERS. They do NOT care one bit about Anti-Semitism/Racism against Jewish people in the Netherlands. Their "two-state supporting" non-Jewish (!) director Naomi Mestrum is a complete fraud - as are the rest of their openly & casually Partisan 'workforce'. As others are commented &, as is abundantly clear from their website, CIDI are Extreme Left-wingers posing as people 'combatting anti-semitism'. Indeed, this places them in a highly advantageous position for very much ensuring that Anti-Semitism is NOT addressed & dealt with (at least the Holocaust-levels of Antisemitism created through Extreme Left 'activism') - & they can conveniently, doctor & manipulate the data for (which, infuriatingly, they appear to submit a report for each year) to downplay, excuse, cover up & discard the toxic, dangerous & epidemic levels of Anti-Jewish hate that has become utterly entrenched & instituonalised through much of Dutch/European society. Do NOT trust or waste your time & energy with these absolute creeps - they are not on your side, not at all

Disgraceful, despicable, dishonest & (evidently very) Partisan abusers & charlatans are not at all what they claim to be: Deeply troubling experience with CIDI - covering many staff if not entire business & over a period of several months. I'm afraid there can be nothing positive to say of my experience with this shambles of & excuse for a 'Pro-Jewish' organisation who - despite my taking many many hours of my time to report multiple, detailed, horrific experiences of Anti-Semitism I have encountered in the Netherlands - did absolutely nothing to assist me in any way whatsoever, despite ample opportunity. Not only this, but CIDI staff themselves have been guilty of abusing & bullying Jewish people (who have had extremely traumatising & troubling experiences) - & indeed, put far more effort & time into this than they ever did trying to help me. After simply respectfully asking a few questions to CIDI concerning their track record as covered in the public domain (& after encountering some notable inconsistencies in their approach & in material shown on their website, as others have commented), I was immediately subjected to an aggressive campaign of abuse, evasion & lies by multiple CIDI staff (Nikola Polman, Hans Wallage & others). Despite (quite understandably) then raising complaint about this deeply troubling & disturbing conduct - a complaint that was submitted to Director Naomi Mestrum - CIDI have then refused to answer/not been bothered to answer to these serious complaints, involving serious misconduct, illegality & abuses by multiple staff. As mentioned, I put in a considerable amount of my own time in & was extremely patient & gave CIDI so many opportunities to address & rectify situation (as the record clearly shows); despite this, it is extremely clear that CIDI are far from the generic, pro-Jewish, non-partisan, anti-racism org that they claim to be & are themselves just as guilty as their comrades out on the streets the past 18+ months calling for a 'Final Solution' & screaming obscenities & threats about the Holocaust & Jews. After an encounter with CIDI, one can really see why Anti-Semitism is & has become so bad in the Netherlands - they are emphatically a part of the problem, not the solution.
