Five more suspects in Nov. 8 attacks also arrested; Dutch PM says misbehavior by Maccabi fans doesnt justify violent attacks: Nothing excuses the deliberate hunting down of Jews
Police in Amsterdam arrested several suspects after dozens of rioters clashed with officers on Monday night and set a tram car on fire while chanting antisemitic slogans.
Footage from the scene caught at least one of the participants shouting, Cancer Jews, indicating that the violence was an extension of attacks perpetrated by Muslim and Arab rioters against Israeli soccer fans last Thursday night.
--snip--
Also on Monday, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof doubled down on his criticism of the attacks on Israeli men by Arab and Muslim rioters, calling it unadulterated antisemitic violence, while insisting that there is no excuse for the deliberate hunting down of Jews.
Four days after the attacks the shock, shame and anger remain. It was unadulterated antisemitic violence. We need hard action to deal with those responsible, Schoof said at a press conference, adding that intolerance cannot be met with tolerance.

Interesting... all the Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans are back home, but the antisemitic riots in Amsterdam continue. Who could be instigating them this time?

that this happened.

(54,897 posts)6. Oh and the excuses....
Anytime shit like this happens and Jews/Israelis are involved, you "know" they (Jews/Israelis) can't be "real" victims, just like they aren't "real" minorities, and they are to blame, usually screeches of "Netanyahu!!" or "Israel!!" are used to excuse away acts of violence and terrorism when directed at Jews or Israelis abroad. And, if, by some miracle, the act of anti-Semitism is deemed "legitimate", then it is always "the other side" or, if it looks like someone/group on the left, it is a "false flag", much like the excuse the far-right gives every time one of their assholes/groups show their asses and it is "really" Antifa! Same pathetic excuse, different target.

Isreal needs to relieve warmonger Netanyahu of duty yesterday.

And he wasn't in Amsterdam to instigate riots.

(57,859 posts)4. BB, I think you agree with me on Bibi. The riots in Almsterdam...
are tragic. There could be others.

(11,249 posts)5. I agree with you on Bibi, but he is not the issue here.
He has his own time and place to be addressed, but in this instance, as in a number of other instances that keep popping up on DU, he is a distraction. What happened in Amsterdam is bigger and older than Bibi.

(90,717 posts)7. The propaganda we are seeing with this is similar to what happened with the campaign
You have a bunch of people whether it's their own biases or grifters that take part in spreading the lies.
This is similar to many other things we have seen throughout the past year .
Jews are attacked and it's followed by some vague bs about what really happened .
