Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he was “horrified” by violent clashes between pro-Palestine protesters and Israeli football supporters in Amsterdam on Thursday. He spoke of “anti-Semitic attacks on Israeli citizens” and called it “completely unacceptable,” in a post on X. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of “very violent” attacks on Israeli citizens.

“I have just spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone to stress that the perpetrators will be identified and prosecuted. The situation in Amsterdam is now calm once more,” Schoof said.

Netanyahu called clashes between pro-Palestine protesters and Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in Amsterdam a “very violent incident” against Israeli citizens, Reuters reported. He said that the Israeli army was sending two planes with medical teams on board to Amsterdam to “help citizens,” though Schiphol Airport told NOS that no such flights had been arranged.

The riot police had to intervene in several clashes between pro-Palestine protesters and Israeli football supporters who came to Amsterdam for the champions league match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The police arrested 57 people. A spokesperson couldn’t tell NU.nl on Friday morning how many people got hurt.

AT5 reported that the riot police deployed multiple units and dogs on Dam Square to keep football supporters and protesters apart, but there were still several violent confrontations.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that ten Israelis got hurt and that the national security council urged Israelis to stay in their hotel rooms and not wear clothing that revealed them as Jewish or Israeli.

The run-up to the football match in the Johan Cruijff Arena was already grim. Several hundred pro-Palestine demonstrators had gathered near the stadium to protest against the presence of the Israeli club and fans. The police intervened when the demonstrators tried to get closer to the stadium and made several arrests.

seems police were already on high alert, due to maccabi fans causing trouble before the match



these pro-palestinian thugs had nothing to do with the outcome of the football match, the israeli fans were peacefully heading home when they were hunted down and beaten

[Mystic Mock]

Well at least the thugs are going to be dealt with.

A sickened woman writes:


I’m so disgusted by what I just witnessed. In Amsterdam, Israelis & Jews
leaving a soccer match were beaten unconscious by mobs, thrown in the river,
and forced to say “free Palestine.” This is the direct result of normalizing
antisemitism post Oct. 7, where the most flagrant acts of Jew-hatred were cast
aside as just “bleeding hearts who are against the war.”

Remind me again how these are all just kind people who care about humanity.

If you can’t bring yourself to speak up now—after failing the Jewish community
for the past year with silence and/or by insisting that “globalize the intifada”
was anything other than a dogwhistle to harass Jews around the world—you
have no right to call yourself a humanitarian.

“Boys on scooters” were behind multiple attacks on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam on Thursday evening, Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema said in a press conference on the events on Friday. She spoke of a “pitch-black” night that has “deeply damaged” the city’s Jewish life and culture. The police are aware of reports that Israelis were abducted in the Dutch capital but have no concrete indications that this actually happened.

Supporters of the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv were attacked in several places in Amsterdam on Thursday after a match against Ajax. Five people had to go to the hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the attacks. All five had been discharged by Friday morning, the police said at the press conference. The police are aware of “20 to 30” other Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters who sustained minor injuries.

The police do not have any concrete information confirming rumors that Israelis were kidnapped in Amsterdam. Police chief Peter Holla asked that concerned family members contact them immediately to file an official report about anyone known to be missing. Holla, who took over as chief of police in Amsterdam in early September, said that the police could not give figures on how many people may or may not be missing.

“Amsterdam is reflecting on a ‘pitch-black’ night, and it is still dark today,” Halsema told dozens of journalists gathered at City Hall. The attacks on Jewish football fans were a form of a hit-and-run perpetrated by “boys on scooters” who then raced across the city “fleeing from the police,” she continued.

“That this is happening in Amsterdam is unbearable and cannot be stomached,” she said. “Our city has been deeply damaged, our Jewish life and culture are under attack.”

The mayor said that the Amsterdam authorities asked the National Coordinator for Counter-terrorism and Security (NCTV) for a security risk assessment on the Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv match and the Kristallnacht commemoration happening on the same night. The NCTV saw no concrete threat, the mayor said. Early police investigation shows that the riots were quickly organized on Telegram, Halsema said.

Public prosecutor René de Beukelaer said that the authorities would release photos of the perpetrators in order to quickly identify and apprehend them. The police arrested 62 people during the riots. Ten of them, eight adults and two minors, were still in custody on Friday. They are suspected of public violence against people or groups. The people who have been released are suspected of insults and throwing fireworks.

The authorities are taking extra measures to ensure everyone’s safety. Both Amsterdam and Amstelveen are declared security risk areas, because there may still be Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in the cities. The declaration gives the police more power to take preventative action, like stopping and searching people.

“What has happened is a scandal for Amsterdam,” mayor Halsema said. “I want to make it clear. We are used, in Amsterdam, that there can be tensions. There are many demonstrations and protests, and we are always prepared for them. … But what happened last night is not a protest. It has nothing to do with a protest or demonstration. It is a crime. There is no excuse for what happened last night”

Halsema declined to comment on Israel’s response to the violence, instead focusing on what the Dutch Cabinet said. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the “anti-Semitic attacks on Israeli citizens.” Justice Minister David van Weel said that the perpetrators would be identified and punished. “We should be ashamed of ourselves,” he said on Friday.

Asked whether she would step down as mayor of Amsterdam if tens of thousands of Jewish people didn’t feel safe in the city, Halsema only said that she has the mandate of the city council to run a large, international city.

Best to keep quiet if you're going to say something uninformed and look stupid.

to be fair, Maccabi fans are hardly angels themselves either, i mean here some evidence, they were beating up arab fans


and before the game vs Ajax, they brought heavy fireworks with them and caused some unrest, where the police had to keep the peace


but in all fairness, their incidents were football hooligan incidents at least


these antisemitic assaults by the pro-palestinian far left thugs had nothing to do with the football anymore, just vile nasty senseless xenophobic discrimination, which truly is sickening

Don't forget how in some of the American Universities you had the three Prinicipals (I think that's what they were anyway) saying that it "depends on the context" when asked if it's okay to genocide Jewish people.

I swear I honestly hate a lot of people in this day and age.

The motive is the actions of the Haifa fans.


Set fireworks off and chanted during the minutes silence for the Spanish flood victims, because Spain have stopped selling weapons to support the Gazan genocide

Sang chants about killing arabs, and levelling Gazan schools:

Attacked local property to destroy Palestinian flags:

Even the fcuking daily mail called them out



Still, best to trust the honest brokers on TIBB and infer it might be because they did nothing wrong, and were attacked as they were peacefully donating to the National trust.

Both sides did bad things then.

And the motive of both sides were the same, because "free Palestine" being chanted is very clear what was going on here with at least some of that crowd imo.

And obviously attacking Arab people let's me know that the Jewish weren't innocent either.

That's how I'm viewing it anyway.

You can't both sides this. None of this would have happened without the Haifa fans doing a hooliganism. Free Palestine is not chanting kill the Jews, is it? It's not even remotely similar. Free Palestine is a chant about peace, Kill the Arabs, let the IDF **** them, there are no schools in Gaza because the children are dead, are not peaceful chants.

Again, 15k Jews live peacefully and without danger In Amsterdam.

Disgusting behavoir as usual from this lot.

Israeli Ambassador to the UK @TzipiHotovely
condemns the antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam, where hundreds of Israeli
football fans were beaten in the streets overnight.

“Shocked and deeply concerned by the violent anti-Semitic assaults on Israeli
fans in central Amsterdam last night, where hundreds of Israelis were
ambushed and violently attacked.

This heinous act is a painful reminder of the rising anti-Semitism in Europe. It
highlights the urgent need for stronger action to protect Jewish communities
and ensure that no one faces violence because of their identity.”
