An abomimable act of assault on Israelis by Islamofascists at a soccer stadium in the Netherlands occurred, and local authorities appeared unwilling to prevent it:

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has condemned what appeared to be an organized, widespread targeted attack by anti-Israel rioters in Amsterdam on Thursday night, branding it a “pogrom” on the streets of the capital.

As Breitbart News reported, Dutch security forces appeared unable to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by roaming gangs of masked attackers who shouted “Free Palestine” as they hunted, beat and brutally harassed the Israelis.

[...] The Times of Israel reports ten Israelis were hospitalized and three were out of contact with their families following the hours of overnight violence.

The outlet observed the attack “apparently perpetrated largely by local Muslims and Arabs, with hundreds more people reportedly besieged in their hotels and fearing they could be attacked again when trying to reach their flights home.”

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof denounced the “unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis.”

He added he had spoken with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to assure him that “the perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted.”

Here's more information:

King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed “deep horror and shock” over the attack on several Jews in Amsterdam Thursday night following a soccer game where Maccabi Tel Aviv played.

“We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” Willem-Alexander said to Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Willem-Alexander added that the Dutch government would ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis visiting the country and facilitate their safe return to Israel.

Herzog told the king that the attacks “echoed dark and grim times for Jewish people and must be equivocally condemned.”

According to victims of the attacks, organized gangs of Arab and Muslim rioters waited for Jews who were leaving the soccer game and attacked them in the street. Social media videos show attackers hunting, beating, and injuring Israelis while shouting “Free Palestine” and curses in Arabic.

It turns out Dutch police were not willing to do their job:

Last night's antisemitic pogrom in Amsterdam came a little over a month after Nieuw Israëlisch Weekblad reported that the Dutch police were allowing officers to refuse to protect Jewish institutions in Holland.

Police spokeswoman Mireille Beentjes told De Telegraaf that she was aware of officers voicing "moral objections" to being deployed to protect Jewish institutions and that the police force had no "strict policies" forcing officers to protect such sites.

“We take moral objections into account when creating schedules. But if there’s an urgent task, you will be deployed, whether you want to or not," she said. “You are expected to behave professionally. Others shouldn’t notice anything.”

Among the sites some officers refused to be stationed near is the Dutch National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam.

This practically confirms where the officials involved actually stand even when it comes to their own local history. It's obscene, just like the assaults themselves, and all police officials guilty of racist dereliction of duty for the sake of the Religion of Peace cannot remain in their jobs.

There have been some suspects arrested, although:

Chief Public Prosecutor of the Amsterdam Public Prosecutor's Office Rene de Beukelaer said during a press conference on Friday that of the 62 suspects arrested after the violent attacks on Israelis in the city, only 10 are still in custody.

The Chief Prosecutor says he aims to try the ten suspects soon during a fast-track hearing.

According to Dutch news outlet Trouw, de Beukelaer said that the suspects are in custody for "public violence against individuals and groups." The suspects who were released are suspected of insulting and throwing fireworks.

Police say they have footage of the suspects and are also calling on people to share footage with the police.

"The investigation that we started during the night focuses on suspects who can be seen on the film footage," De Beukelaer said. "We are also investigating whether there are connections between these suspects, and how they came to these violent actions. We are also investigating whether it was organized," the chief prosecutor said.

It's not good to release those whom they did. If they shot fireworks, which are dangerous, that's bad too. Not to mention that monsters like those cannot be allowed to occupy the space around a stadium.

Sacha Roytman-Dracha says it's a new variation on Kristallnacht:

In November 1938, the world witnessed the beginning of the Holocaust with Kristallnacht, a horrific pogrom of extreme violence against Jews. Last night, 86 years after that horrific event, Amsterdam experienced another pogrom that felt like history repeating itself.

The shocking scenes from Amsterdam – a coordinated and planned attack against Israeli soccer fans – should not only send shockwaves through Europe but serve as a painful reminder of Europe's and the world's long, unresolved struggle with rising antisemitism.

The brutal attack, led by Islamic extremists targeting Jewish people in the streets, differs in many ways from Kristallnacht. Today, Jews have a strong state of their own, there are authorities to manage such incidents, and the scale of violence is different. We no longer need to wait for the world to act and rescue us – we can and do act ourselves.

Still, the horrifying situation faced by fans who simply wanted to watch a soccer match drew chilling parallels to Kristallnacht, proving that we are witnessing the ideological heirs of the Nazis today – Islamic extremists operating with similar hatred and violence, seeking to spill Jewish blood.

"I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too," Anne Frank wrote weeks before she was discovered in hiding with her family. What we witnessed in Amsterdam was not random; it was part of a larger, premeditated campaign of intimidation and hatred directed at Jews, and represents the peak of global antisemitism since Oct. 7, 2023.

The world must understand: that Jews have lost their sense of personal security. Throughout history, there have been many instances where Jews were forced to leave countries where they felt less secure, and now they are asking themselves the same question: how safe are we in Europe? If law enforcement authorities do not proactively tackle antisemitism, violence, and terrorism with a firm hand, Jews will leave and return to Israel, leaving Europe to face alone the extremism that is reaching new heights and will no longer target only Jews. [...]

To prevent another catastrophe, Europe must confront reality and acknowledge that it has become a haven for extremist ideologies seeking to destroy Jewish life, as well as core aspects of European life. This is not a problem that can be minimized or ignored. The rise of violent antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue; it's a European issue, threatening the foundations of European freedom, democracy, and civil rights.

The time to act is now. Europe must begin taking concrete steps to ensure the safety of its Jewish citizens by addressing sources of radicalization, cracking down on violent hate groups, and ending tolerance for antisemitism in any form.

Another reason why European countries must clamp down on and exile these Islamic offenders is because they prey on innocent women and children too.

Update: Wilders rightly says the jihadists who committed the crime must be deported.

Update 2: Wilders has confirmed that in actuality, no one involved in the assault was arrested:

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, claimed on Saturday night that, contrary to the claims of the Dutch authorities, no arrests had been made of people who took part in the pogrom against Israelis in Amsterdam on Thursday night.

“I am speechless. Amsterdam Police just confirmed that NO ONE has been arrested during the Islamic Jewhunt in Amsterdam Thursday night. All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and NOT during the pogrom,” Wilders wrote in a post on X.

Well this is serious. No police officials who refused in any way to take action against the aggressors can remain in their jobs or receive payment after what they enabled.

Update 3: the New York Times has been panned for downplaying the seriousness of the issue.
