Assailants attack Israeli football fans in Amsterdam, violence condemned as antisemitic

New Indian Express  

AMSTERDAM: Young people on scooters attacked Israeli fans in hit-and-run assaults overnight after a football game in Amsterdam apparently fueled by calls to target Jewish people spread on social media, Dutch authorities said Friday. Amsterdam authorities banned a planned pro-Palestinian demonstration near the stadium, and video showed a large crowd of Israeli fans chanting anti-Arab slogans en route to the game. Afterwards, youths on scooters crisscrossed the city in search of Israeli fans, punching and kicking them and then fleeing quickly to evade police, Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said. Israel’s foreign minister left on an urgent trip to the Netherlands, and the government initially ordered two planes sent to the Dutch capital to bring fans home.
