//Israeli supporters have been advised to stay in their hotel rooms. Police say they are investigating reports of hostage taking, but stress there is no confirmation anyone is missing.

 

Amsterdam city authorities say: "There is no excuse for the antisemitic behaviour exhibited last night by rioters who actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them."

 

Extra police will be deployed in Amsterdam over the coming days as a precaution.//

Israeli fans have been advised to stay in their hotel rooms and avoid wearing Jewish symbols. 

 

Given Amsterdam's dark history, that advice must resonate.  Chilling.

Turning a bit of football hooliganism into something more sinister?

They're adept at playing the victim.

Amsterdam authorities have described it as anti-semitic...I'll suspect there'll be one or two ABers along shortly (we know who they are) who will describe it as anti-Zionism rather than anti-semitic as a way to justify it. Personally I don't think the two can be separated, but we know that some do to justify anti-semitism.

 

BTW, I'm not a fan of the term anti-semitism, I much prefer to call it what it is - anti-Jew.

football fans are not responsible for the actions of the israeli government and it is a vicious and wicked thing to act as though they are. reprehensible.

Hardly playing the victim, sandyRoe.  The police and the Dutch authorities don't see it that way.

The anniversary of Kristallnacht is coming up Nov 9-10 1938 and we all know what followed,sandyRoe's post shows his ignorance of history and what will happen in the UK while we pander to extremist's

And there he is in all his glory: The terrorist supporter.

No doubt would have been wearing a brown shirt 90 years ago too.

It's really not good what europe has turned into.

I'm waiting for the pro palistine jew haters to disrupt rememberance sunday with their flag waving.

webbo, I think - and hope - they'll be kept well away.  They were last year.

I really do hope so Naomi

And so do I.  Chilling as Naomi says.

Question Author

It would do some people good to visit Amsterdam and learn a bit - and see a bit - of its history.  To think that Jews there are being advised to avoid wearing Jewish symbols makes my blood run cold, it really does.

Only one step away from being forced to wear a symbol.  Considering the vast numbers sent to camps never to return (Ann Frank from this very City for example) this is a particular disgrace.

According to Wilders they should be deported.  I wish him well with that.

Spoke to soon Naomi

That's Birmingham - where they'll be honouring martyrs, webbo.  No need to ask who's organising that.

Sickening.

sorry folks, but the only way is, if your militant in your protests and attacking etc, then you need a nationalist gov, freedom fine, protests fine..to a point, go in with batton rounds smoke truncheons, if you have to..then use the army as a last resort. have to crack heads.. echr..in the bin to bring back order.

Are there Dutch police outside Anne Frank's house on the Prinsengracht yet?

Are these Dutch/Holland football fans aware of their history?These Dutch people(are they even Dutch?)even know about Anne Frank or about the Holocaust?

Some say this is Morroccan fans attacking the Jews,is Israel playing Morrocco at soccer in a neutral venue in Holland or what.
