AMSTERDAM (Worthy News) – Students and staff members at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) are recovering after an angry crowd of anti-Israel and pro-Palestine stormed and vandalized the 18th-century Maagdenhuis (Maiden House), the UvA’s administrative complex.

In a statement seen by Worthy News on Wednesday, the UvA said the repairs to damages caused by pro-Palestine would cost an “enormous” amount.

Worthy News saw pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine slogans painted on the historic walls of the building and on computers while furniture had been destroyed.

Protesters demanded that the university cut all ties with Israeli universities over the war in Gaza.

Monday’s rally was organized by the activist group Amsterdam Student Encampment, though many spoke English. Numerous protesters carrying Palestinian flags and smoke flares in the same colors participating in the violence had their faces covered.

It prompted calls from Christian and rightwing legislators to ban masks and other face coverings at protests.

MORE PROTESTS

Pro-Palestine activists also rallied at Radboud University in the eastern city of Nijmegen, occupying a footbridge between two university buildings. They, too, demanded that their university sever all ties with Israeli institutions.

At least five people were seen being led away by police officers during the violence-tainted demonstration at the Maagdenhuis building in Amsterdam’s historical city center.

Riot police using batons clashed with a smaller group of several hundred students and activists outside the building, Worthy News observed.

A spokesperson for the Amsterdam mayor, police, and prosecutor told local media that protesters broke into offices in the Maagdenhuis, disabled cameras, and barricaded emergency doors. “A police officer was also hit in the face with an as yet unknown corrosive substance, which resulted in minor injuries.”

The Amsterdam Student Encampment group defended its actions, saying it did not cause “any unnecessary damage” to the building or personal belongings.

Activists “only added something to the rich history of the building” with the graffiti on the walls, it added.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
