news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 12 November 2024

Antisemitism, hooliganism and anger over Gaza war all factors in trouble that broke out last week, report says

The violence that erupted in Amsterdam last week was sparked by “a toxic cocktail” of hooliganism and antisemitism, according to a detailed report published by the city’s mayor.

The city remains gripped by high tensions days after violence flared around a football match last Thursday between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
