“They waited in groups at every corner, and as soon as they recognized Jews – they started chasing them. Others waited near hotels and near the casino in larger groups, and there they also attacked fans.”Nearly eighty years after the Holocaust, Europe witnessed another shameful pogrom as hundreds of Jews on Thursday night were ambushed and assaulted in the Dutch city of Amsterdam.
Hundreds of fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team reported that they were attacked overnight Thursday by Arabs in Amsterdam, as they left the stadium following Maccabi’s game against AFC Ajax. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that ten fans were injured and that two people are unaccounted for, and efforts to get in touch with them are ongoing.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated at about 4:30 a.m. local time that he was dispatching two rescue planes to Amsterdam following a “very violent incident against Israeli citizens”,” thenews agency reported. “The Israeli National Security Council stated in Hebrew that Israelis in Amsterdam should remain in their hotel rooms and avoid the street, refrain from wearing visible Jewish or Israeli symbols and notify Dutch police and the Israeli mission about any threat or attack.
