Far-right Dutch leader Geert Wilders, whose party is a member of the Netherlands’ government, denounces the attacks on Israelis visiting Amsterdam for a Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer match as “totally unacceptable.”

“Looks like a Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam. Arrest and deport the multicultural scum that attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in our streets,” he says, suggesting the assailants were migrants. “Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands.”
