Israeli hooligans’ racist chants and provocation in Amsterdam spark international outrage
A Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax in Amsterdam has resulted in violent clashes, raising international concerns about rising anti-Palestinian sentiments among Israeli fans and responses by Dutch officials. Over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters, many reportedly linked to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), took to the streets of Amsterdam on Wednesday and Thursday. Demonstrators were filmed tearing down Palestinian flags and chanting aggressive anti-Arab slogans, including, "Let IDF win to F*#k Arabs” and "There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left."
