Dutch leader denounces ‘Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam’

 

'The days of chasing Jews down European city streets should remain in the dark annals of history,' the Israeli embassy in Washington said of the violence. Amsterdam police reported on Friday that five individuals were hospitalized and 62 people were detained. The events unfolded after a soccer match, with rioters actively seeking out Israeli fans in what authorities described as systematic attacks. This incident has sparked condemnation from both Dutch and Israeli leaders, as well as Jewish organizations worldwide, with Israel’s foreign minister undertaking an urgent diplomatic mission to the Netherlands.

Amsterdam police took to social media platform X, announcing that a major investigation into multiple violent incidents was underway. To prevent further disturbances, extra police will be stationed in the city, and additional security measures will be put in place around Jewish institutions.

Horrific scenes from Amsterdam last night, echoing Europe's darkest history:

Amsterdam, a city with a notable Jewish community, is known as the home of World War II diarist Anne Frank, who hid from the Nazis there. Local authorities emphasized the gravity of the attacks, releasing a joint statement by the city’s police, prosecution office, and municipality. The statement declared, “The night was very turbulent with several incidents of violence aimed at Maccabi supporters… This outburst of violence toward Israeli supporters is unacceptable and cannot be defended in any way. There is no excuse for the antisemitic behavior exhibited last night.”

 

HORRIFIC incident in Amsterdam: a man deliberately runs over a Jew with his car. Cannot believe we are seeing this in 2024. Prayers for the victim and a call for justice.

The violence prompted a strong response from Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, who called the attacks “completely unacceptable.” He shared on X, “I followed reports of the violence with horror,” adding that he had spoken directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Schoof affirmed that those responsible would be “tracked down and prosecuted,” ensuring Netanyahu that measures were being taken to restore calm in the capital.

 

The violence also drew remarks from Netherlands’ King Willem-Alexander, who expressed profound disappointment and regret. He reportedly told Israel’s President Isaac Herzog that the attack brought back memories of “dark and grim times for the Jewish people,” referring to the country’s history during World War II. “We failed the Jewish community during World War II, and last night we failed again,” said the King, echoing Herzog’s demand for a clear condemnation of such actions.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock reacted with shock, calling the incident “awful and deeply shameful for us in Europe.” She stated on X, “The outbreak of such violence against Jews breaks all boundaries. There is no justification for this.” Baerbock emphasized that Jewish people must be able to feel secure in Europe, a sentiment shared by other international officials.

 

The United Nations also weighed in, with spokesperson Jeremy Laurence from the UN human rights office describing the reports as deeply troubling. He emphasized, “Nobody, nobody should be subjected to discrimination or violence on the basis of their national, religious, ethnic or other origin.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed similar sentiments, condemning the attacks as “unacceptable.” In her message on X, she stated, “Antisemitism has absolutely no place in Europe. And we are determined to fight all forms of hatred.”

 

This incident reflects an ongoing global concern over the safety of Jewish communities, particularly in the context of sporting events involving Israeli teams, as these matches have increasingly become a focal point for antisemitic violence amid escalating Middle Eastern tensions. As the investigation progresses, the world will be closely watching how Dutch authorities address this latest disturbing incident.

  They all got jailed about 30 years ago and the regular football violence in the UK stopped about that time , although there is occasional outbreaks of football violence and the perpetrators get jailed if arrested

Video footage on social media shows Israeli soccer fans chanting against Arabs and Palestinians in Amsterdam, pointing to high tensions and unrest prior to the nighttime attacks.

Pro-Palestinan activists have claimed that the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were the first to engage in harassment and violence, saying they assaulted Arabs in the city and vandalized Palestinian flags.

   What were Palestinian flags doing being flown in Holland ?

Were they used to taunt the Israelis ?

What were the activists doing there , if it wasn't to harass the Israelis ?

Football thugs from both sides troll each other mercilessly it was ever thus. Two world wars one world cup etc. as my now dissapared DM article made clear.

It doesn't look like they were under attack at this point. Rather enjoying their trip and making videos of it:

Lucky the Israeli wasn't in London.

 

Starmer and Khan would have him arrested for being "openly Jewish" and touching the Muslims feet. The arresting officers singing from the river to the sea or Free Free Palestine.

 

Charged and sentenced within a week for being a far right football thug.

I dont need to read it again, perhaps you need to read my post again, the violence had nothing to do with the football, its was a pure attack on Jews. The mob were even forcing the Jews to say "Free Palatine" when they had kicked them to the ground.

   These were not football thugs/supporters though , they had no interest in the game . 

   It was a pro Palestinian group whose sole intention was to attack Jews/Israelis .

   This was planned violence

I don't appear to be able to post the article that called them hooligans and thugs . They are quite a few countries that have notorious fans when abroad England being a particuarly nasty case it would appear the Maccabi Ultras are no differrent.

These are not football thugs, they are animals attacking Jews:

 

This sickening antisemitic violence must put UK on high alert for the safety of Jewish people here. Response to the August riots showed importance of restoring deterrence - surely a similar approach needed on calls to “Globalise the Intifada” and the violence of Palestine Action

Another one who is ignoring the targeted attacks on Jews that is on numerous videos and quoted by numerous officials.

 

Muslim mobs in Amsterdam are hunting Jews tonight. I wish this was fiction. It's not.

Your video shows Maccabi fans not Muslims attacking Israelis. Check the account of the video owner not the account you posted. You can even see the team colours on some of them. No Palestinian flags in hand either.
