'We were ambushed': Pogrom in Amsterdam wounds several
Following violent attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans following a soccer match between Maccabi and Ajax on Thursday evening, Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed that all Israelis had been contacted, according to Ynet. While police initially said they were investigating reports of abductions during the attacks, all missing Israelis have now been accounted for. Local authorities and Israel's Foreign Ministry have reported that ten Israelis have been injured so far in the pogrom, with consul members currently searching hospitals.
Assailants shouting ‘free Palestine’ brutally attack Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam

Fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv report being attacked in the streets of Amsterdam after the Israeli soccer team’s loss to local club Ajax, with video from the Dutch city showing brutal assaults by masked assailants, some of whom carry Palestinian flags and shout “free Palestine.”
The reports from Amsterdam are harrowing. After Maccabi Tel Aviv, an Israeli soccer team, lost to Ajax, a group of their fans—mostly Jewish supporters—were brutally attacked by masked assailants. If anyone needed proof that "Free Palestine" is just another coded anti-semitic dog whistle which is basically the equivalent of "We want a 2nd Holocaust" here it is.
Many of the attackers were carrying Palestinian flags and chanting “Free Palestine.” Video footage from the scene shows these assailants physically assaulting individuals, some of whom were reportedly women and children, simply because of their perceived association with Israel.
This is not an isolated incident. Across Europe, similar attacks have been reported in the wake of sporting events, particularly those involving Israeli teams. While some of these attacks have been framed as “protests” against Israel’s policies, they increasingly reveal a darker, more sinister trend—an expression of anti-Semitic violence.
