Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans bring shame on Amsterdam, mayor says
Israeli soccer fans were beaten and injured in violent clashes in Amsterdam overnight, which Dutch authorities condemned Friday as antisemitic.
Dutch police said they had launched a major investigation into multiple incidents following the Europa League soccer game Thursday night between Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dutch side Ajax.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said criminals on scooters searched the city in search of Maccabi supporters in “hit-and-run” attacks. “This is a terrible moment for our city. … I am very ashamed of the behavior that was shown last night,” she said in a Friday news conference.
Amsterdam authorities said Friday morning that five injured Israeli soccer fans have since been released from the hospital, and 20 to 30 other people were lightly injured. In total, 63 individuals were arrested and 10 remain in custody, police said.
Tensions had been rising in the lead up to Thursday night’s match with multiple social media videos showing Maccabi fans chanting anti-Arab slurs, praising Israeli military attacks in Gaza and yelling “f**k the Arabs.” Other videos apparently filmed in Amsterdam show men ripping Palestinian flags off buildings. It is unclear when those videos were filmed.

Muslims based in Amsterdam coordinated attacks on Israeli football supporters. Taxi drivers linked in with the gangs to tell them where the Israelis were.
The Muslims filmed their attacks and shared them on their social media accounts, knowing they could be traced back.
They don't fear any repercussions for their actions.

Trump just ran on this kind of hatred and won. Too tired to fight against the stream any more.
Everyone, feel free to kill one another

Both Muslims and Israelis can be shitty people, in my experience. Let them fight it out.
I’m watching, popcorn in hand

When they're done with the Jews they'll come for you. Remember Pulse in Florida?

Halsema has to go. She has enabled this municipal terrorism for too long.
Haccabi’s ultras should not have been outside of Israel. They showed up to confront as only a certain segment of Israelis know how. They endangered their fellow Jews.
But the shitty Moroccan boys going jodenjachten (Jew-hunting) planned in advance, of anyone with a Jewish name, just steps from Anne Frank House, is beyond disgusting. Their parents raised them poorly and all of them should be stripped of their citizenship and sent back.
