Hard-right Dutch leader blames ‘Moroccans’ for attack on Israeli soccer fans, calls for deportation

LA Times  

Anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders takes his seat at the high-security court at Schiphol, near Amsterdam, in September. Hard-right Dutch political leader Geert Wilders on Wednesday blamed “Moroccans” for attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last week, saying during a parliamentary debate that they “want to destroy Jews” and recommending deporting those convicted. While lawmakers condemned antisemitism and agreed that perpetrators of the violence should be tracked down, prosecuted and handed harsh punishments, opposition legislators accused Wilders of “pouring oil on the fire” and said his statements were not conducive to “a better society.” Violence erupted in the Dutch capital before and after last week’s soccer match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv. After the match, parts of a large group of Maccabi supporters armed with sticks ran around “destroying things,” a 12-page report on the violence issued by Amsterdam authorities said. Wilders, whose anti-immigration Party for Freedom won elections last year and now is part of a four-party ruling coalition government, said Wednesday that on the night Amsterdam commemorated Kristallnacht, the 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany, “we saw Muslims hunting Jews on the streets of Amsterdam,” and blamed ”Moroccans who want to destroy Jews.” World & Nation Amsterdam police detain pro-Palestinian protesters at banned demonstration Dozens of people are held for taking part in a demonstration in Amsterdam that had been outlawed following violent clashes aimed at Israeli soccer fans.
