A far-right Dutch pol is demanding the deportation of the antisemitic thugs who hunted down and attacked Israeli soccer fans after a match in Amsterdam — labeling them “multicultural scum.”
“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. Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands. Totally unacceptable,” parliament member Geert Wilders posted on X.
Five Israelis were hospitalized when an anti-Israel crowd chased down Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in the streets and attacked them after a soccer match against the Dutch team AFC Ajax.
More than 60 people were arrested for taking part in the horrific attack, which Wilders and others have deemed a “pogrom.”
“A pogrom in the streets of #Amsterdam. We have become the Gaza of Europe. Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews,” Wilders wrote in a later post. “I will NOT accept that. NEVER. The authorities will be held accountable for their failure to protect the Israeli citizens. Never again.”
A “pogrom” is a term used to describe an organized attack on Jews, particularly in Europe under Hitler, when armed gangs would ransack Jewish villages and slaughter their innocent inhabitants.
Bone-chilling video from Amsterdam shows groups of violent thugs kicking and hurling antisemitic slurs at cowering victims afraid for their lives. Some Israeli soccer fans were attacked with fireworks, and one man was mowed down by a car.
Wilders called on Amsterdam’s mayor to resign over the police failing to prevent the horrific assault, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “planned antisemitic attack.”
The Dutch pol said he spoke with Netanyahu on Friday and said he expressed his “anger” over the attack and vowed to expel the perpetrators.
“There is no place for antisemitism and jew hate in The Netherlands and I will do all I can to protect Jews and stop and expel Islamic radicals,” Wilders wrote.
Israel dispatched planes to the Netherlands after the attack to whisk at least some of its citizens home and urged those staying to remain in their hotels and not wear any visible signs of Jewish or Israeli identity on the street until they could return safely.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema called the attacks a “very dark moment” for his city and said he is “deeply ashamed” by them.
Wilders is known as a firebrand who has long campaigned against “mass immigration” and allowing asylum-seekers into his country.
“It’s enough now,” Wilders said in a debate before his 2023 election. “The Netherlands can’t take it anymore. We have to think about our own people first now. Borders closed. Zero asylum-seekers.”
The lawmaker is a member of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) which swept the country’s last elections, ushering in a far-right government.
The far-right firebrand has been in legal trouble for comments he’s made against Moroccan migrants in his country and has had numerous attempts on his life over his fiery criticisms of Islam.
“The Moroccan scum in Holland … once again not all are scum … but there is a lot of Moroccan scum in Holland who make the streets unsafe, mostly young people … and that should change,” he once said.
