Amsterdam Riots: Antisemitic Chants Fuel Violence After Soccer Match
Antisemitic violence erupted in Amsterdam for the second time in a week, with rioters targeting a tram, setting it ablaze and shouting anti-Jewish slogans. The incident occurred on the heels of a pogrom targeting Jews and Israelis in the city following a soccer match. Rioters also clashed with police and vandalized private vehicles and bikes, leading to a three-day ban on demonstrations and stricter border control measures implemented by the Dutch government. This surge of violence reflects a growing concern about antisemitism in the Netherlands, with political leaders expressing alarm and taking action to address the situation.
