Human rights groups have sued the Netherlands for complicity in the war over its supply of spare parts for Israel's F-35 jets.

In 2008, the Dutch press conducted an investigation into how 36-year-old Dutchman Erik van Sabben became a participant in the US-Israeli sabotage of Iran's nuclear program. A journalistic investigation has revealed that Eric van Sabben injected the infamous Stuxnet virus into special software, causing massive damage to Iran's nuclear program, but died shortly afterwards in a car accident.

A Dutch court has banned the country's government from supplying Israel with spare parts for the F-35 fighter jets it uses to bombard the Gaza Strip.

According to the results of a survey conducted by the European Commission among about 26,000 people from 27 EU member states, 21 percent of participants reported that they had been discriminated against or insulted during the past year. Discrimination on the basis of skin color, ethnicity, age and socio-economic status is highest in the Netherlands, followed by discrimination on the basis of religion in France. In this regard, Sweden, Belgium and Cyprus are also in high places.

Eva Prins, a Dutch Jewish journalist, reported that the Netherlands is one of the countries with the most widespread anti-Muslim sentiment (Islamophobia) in Europe, and that they are discriminated against more than Jews. He noted that the recent events in Amsterdam were started by Jews, but the government described the incident as "anti-Semitism".
