Violence flares again in Amsterdam as video shows rioters yelling antisemitic slurs
A fresh round of violence broke out in Amsterdam on Monday night as rioters clashed with police amid a crackdown in the wake of last week’s attacks on Israeli soccer fans in the city.
Videos posted to social media show people shouting antisemitic slurs as a firework is lit inside a tram, shattering a window and causing the vehicle to go up in flames. Three people were arrested, police said.
Officers and a bus were pelted with stones, police said. One person in the group was injured by fireworks and treated at the scene.
The unrest began at around 7:15 p.m. local time and the area was largely calm by 11 p.m., although a police bus near the scene was set on fire around 3:30 a.m.
At around 9:30 p.m., a passing cyclist was pulled from his bike and attacked, receiving heavy blows to his head, police said. The suspect was detained immediately, while others threw stones at the officers.
The Dutch capital has been under emergency measures since last Friday, when Israeli soccer fans were beaten and injured in violent clashes in the city after a soccer game Thursday night between Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dutch side Ajax.

Zionists should be ashamed of what they’re forcing Europeans to do.

Zionists? What about Muslims? They're turning Western Europe into a fucking jungle.

They pulled a random cyclist off his bike? How did they know he was Jewish? Are they going back to yellow stars?

I’m not picking sides here by writing the following:
Palestinians & Arabs in general already knows that Israel will always win, no matter what.
The destruction that is playing out in Palestine is abhorrent, & the fuckers (Hamas) who decided to draw first blood knew EXACTLY what Netanyahu’s response would be, & that the United States would back him, despite their protestations & political theater.

Fuck with the Jews and find out. Stupid Muslims still haven't learned that lesson.

A police officer in the UK has been arrested on suspicion of being a supporter of Hamas.
There is going to be a horrific violent episode directed at Jews by Muslims living in Europe and many on the left are cheering it on and defending it because BUT ISRAEL

Definitely feels like it's building up to something. I would avoid Christmas markets.

Manchester council in Britain tweeted about safety at their Christmas market with heavy duty bollards to stop vehicles being used for ramming and two police officers with machine guns.
All of the replies were asking ‘who are they protecting us from’.
We all know who.

Author Benjamin Moser, a Jewish American from Houston who's lived in the Netherlands for the past 20 years, has a pretty measured and eminently sensible response to the Amsterdam riots. I like his exposure of the leader of the Dutch Farmer's Party (Farmer Citizen Movement/BBB), Caroline van der Plas, as a former meat-industry shill.

P.S. Moser is gay, and won a Pulitzer Prize a few years ago for his biography of Susan Sontag.
