The attacks against Israeli fans after a soccer match in Amsterdam last week were a “poisonous cocktail” of antisemitism and hooligan behavior, the city’s mayor says.
“The incident was a poisonous cocktail of antisemitism and hooliganism,” Femke Halsema says, but she adds that “injustice has been done to both Jews in our city as well as people of minorities who sympathize with the Palestinians.”
