Violence broke out in Amsterdam last night as Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv was in the city for a Europa League match.
At least 62 people were arrested, Dutch police say, and five people taken to hospital.
There were arrests in Dam Square before the match, with reports of clashes between pro-Palestinian protesters and Maccabi fans. Videos seemingly showed visiting fans setting off fireworks, making racist chants about Arabs, and tearing down a Palestinian flag.
The Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned “antisemitic attacks” on Israelis, and said the city was now “calm”.

#Amsterdam #BBCNews
Jews being hunted in Amsterdam by Islamists. In Sweden too.
BBC should be banned from broadcasting news, they blatantly turned the story on it head. Its disgusting that news reporters (shame on you) sit there and broadcast lies on national TV, you are a disgrace to the profession. BBC and other ‘reputable’ media ignored the chanting, ignored the visuals of pulling flags, ignore the disrespect for moment of silence, its ignored the fact that these people came from Israel to Amsterdam to cause trouble, ignored the aftermath when they returned to Israel (officially land of Palestine) they chanted “IDF will f*** the arabs. Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there”
This group goes beyond the description of football hooligans, they are an organised gang who used this opportunity to come and cause trouble and show the world they can get away with it, with Support of the media and our country officials. If countries WORLDWIDE are bowing down to higher powers and blatantly reporting that night is day, tomorrow they will come for each of us. This is not about Palestine and Israel, this is about power and them showing us they can, will and have the power to do what they want. Look beyond whats happening, today its Palestinians paying the price, tomorrow it will be us. Our leaders who are in ‘power’ will turn a blind eye and will aid in whatever needed. I bet you cannot think of any, ANY race who has the power to do what Israel is doing not only in Palestine, but on your own doorstep and get away with flipping it and calling antisemitism, right to defend it self, victimisation. They are not subject to same laws and rules as anybody else. Today is about Arabs and Muslims, tomorrow anyone else who doesn’t fit the mould. Doea it remind you of something that happened in the past? Dont look the other way, tomorrow it will be you begging someone to tell the truth.
