The match between Ajax and Maccabi, played on Thursday in the Europa League, was punctuated by very serious incidents.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict moved to Amsterdam last night. Just after the C3 match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel-Aviv, incidents broke out between Israeli supporters and their hosts of the day.
Clashes in Amsterdam!
For several hours, numerous videos have been circulating on social networks showing Israelis attacked and lynched by the Dutch. Violent attackers who led the Israeli state to quickly react and demand that all light be shed on these sad events. According to the latest news, 5 people were hospitalized and 62 were arrested by local police.
That these clashes occurred in the Dutch capital is somewhat surprising given that the country is generally known for its support for Israel. During Ajax matches, flags of the Hebrew nation have been flying in the stands for several decades.
Provoked by the Israelis, the Dutch gave in to violence
What made the Dutch turn against the Israelis? It appears that they were the target of provocation. Before and during the match, the visitors continued to sing regretful chants, calling for the death of Palestinians and their children. They also whistled the minute of silence before the match in memory of the victims of the floods in Valencia. It was the spark that gave rise to the revolt that followed.
These events are scrupulously observed by the French authorities a few days before a match between France and Israel in the Nations League. Unprecedented security measures have been planned for this meeting.
