Dutch Christians Present Huge ‘Happy Birthday, Israel’ Cake at Hague Parliament
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz May 17, 2018
“I will bless those who bless you And curse him that curses you; And all the families of the earth Shall bless themselves by you.” Genesis 12:3
On Tuesday, a group of Christians in the Netherlands celebrated Israel’s 70th birthday by passing out 2,000 pieces of cake in front of the Hague, a city in which love for Israel is sorely lacking.
Parliamentarians entering the Binnenhoff, the oldest House of Parliament in the world still in use, were greeted by Christians and Jews together who were cutting two enormous cakes decorated with Israeli flags. The event was meant to be a positive gesture to demonstrate their love for Israel, a sweet note in the battle against the bitter Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The ceremony was accompanied by Israeli songs and blowing of a shofar (ram’s horn). In addition to the parliamentarians, approximately 150 people attended the event.
Also on hand were the Director of Christians for Israel Rogier van Oordt and the chairman of “Pillar of Fire,” a faith-based Israel advocacy foundation, Cees van Horst.
“This was our way of saying we will always stand by Israel, even in these times when there is so much hatred and enmity against her,” Karl van Essen, one of the event’s organizers, told Breaking Israel News. “The Dutch Parliament is voting so often against Israel. This was an opportunity to show the Dutch politicians, the world, and Israel that so many of the citizens of the Netherlands still stand with Israel.”
