Arabs Lynch Israelis and Jews in Amsterdam, Dozens Wounded, Several Missing

David Israel

Gangs of Muslim rioters attacked Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans who had come to watch their team play against Ajax in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Thursday night. The attack was preplanned, and local authorities ignored the warnings they received from Israeli security authorities.

Footage from the city shows fans being violently attacked, kicked, and even run over by cars. There were clashes resulting in injuries to Maccabi fans before the game as well. In one case, an Israeli fan was thrown into a canal and forced to say “Free Palestine” until he was released.

Horrifying scenes in Amsterdam of attempted lynching of Jews by terror supporters. Amsterdam, where are your police?! Jews were beaten by mobs of Arabs and some even jumped into the canals to get away from violent mobs. Shameful, unacceptable.

Authorities in the Netherlands reported 12 injured people in hospitals and the Foreign Ministry reported seven Israelis who are out of contact, five more Israelis have been hospitalized. The actual number of injured and out-of-contact may be higher.

Testimonies from Amsterdam revealed that Muslims had organized their locations in advance and were hunting down Jews near hotels, casinos, and central locations in the city. There are reports of missing persons, and photos of stolen Israeli passports were circulated online. A total of about 3,000 Israelis flew to the game. Now they are besieged in hotels, fearing being attacked if they go out into the streets. Update: As of Friday noon, all the Israelis have been released from the hospital. One Israeli is still missing and ten more Israeli are unaccounted for.

The Muslims filmed their attacks and published them.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) posted: “Two days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, Jews are once again experiencing antisemitism and vicious attacks in Europe.”

ANTISEMITIC POLICE OFFICERS

“The police were not there at the end of the game, and Muslims were waiting near train stations to follow Israeli fans,” one fan told Kan11 News. “The police only started to intervene at least half an hour to 45 minutes into the attacks, after attackers threw firecrackers at people and into buildings.”

Local police said they protected Israelis and took them to their hotels. Dutch media reported that police had arrested 57 rioters.

In early October, Dutch media revealed that local police chiefs admit to altering duty schedules to accommodate officers with “moral objections” to providing security at Jewish sites, including the National Holocaust Museum. Mireille Beentjes, spokesperson for the national police force leadership, confirmed that the force considers individual objections when arranging assignments.

The attackers are sharing on social media images of passports they stole from their Israeli victims.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) posted: “The hysterical and hyperbolic demonization of Israel has led to a global outbreak of antisemitic vitriol, vandalism and violence. The single most monstrous manifestation of antisemitism is a pogrom that is presently unfolding against hundreds of Jews who were cheering on the Tel Aviv football club in Amsterdam.
“Those inciting antisemitism now have the blood of a 21st-century pogrom on their hands. The situation is so dire that the Israeli government is dispatching rescue teams for Jews in danger. I am sick to my stomach that a pogrom is happening in the 21st century.”
