Pogrom In Amsterdam! Jews Run Over, Stabbed, Thrown In Canal, Several Missing, 5 Hospitalized
Hundreds of Israeli soccer fans were lynched by Arabs in the Netherlands where they had gathered to watch Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team play against Ajax in Amsterdam on Thursday evening.
The attack was coordinated beforehand, with hundreds of Arabs waiting to attack Jews after the match at train stations, hotels, and casinos. About 3,000 Israelis had flown to the Netherlands for the game. Israeli security officials had warned Dutch authorities about a planned attack and were ignored.
Jews were run over by cars, stabbed, beaten, and coerced into shouting: “Free Palestine.” In at least one case, an Israeli was thrown into a canal and forced to yell “Free Palestine” before he was extracted from the water.
Many of the Arabs filmed their attacks and posted them on social media, showing Jews being beaten and humiliated. Photos of stolen Israeli passports are also circulating on social media.
The Duch police were nowhere to be found. One Israeli told Kan News:
There were no police around at the end of the game and Arabs were waiting near the train station to attack Israelis. The police began intervening only 30-45 minutes after the attacks began and only after Arabs began throwing firecrackers at people and into buildings.
An Israeli who identified himself as Dan said that as Israelis walked from the central train station on the main street, they were attacked by groups of 10 to 15 Arabs waiting on every block, who beat them with sticks. The situation continued for over an hour before the police arrived.
They were waiting on every street corner, some on motorbikes, and after asking us where we were from, tried to block our way or run us over, If you didn’t answer them, they started beating you up. Within seconds more people join in. Me and my friend were captured a number of times, I can barely walk.
No one offered to help us but we will not go to hospital. I don’t trust anyone here. The police beat us with their batons because they were afraid of the pro-Palestinians. We are now in the hotel and outside, cars and motorbikes drive by taking pictures.
