Israeli Soccer Fans Face Antisemitic Threats Abroad
TL;DR
Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders has called for the deportation of individuals involved in an antisemitic attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, labeling them "multicultural scum." The attack, which left five Israelis hospitalized, has been described as a "pogrom" by Wilders and others. Over 60 people were arrested following the incident, which has drawn condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Wilders, known for his anti-immigration stance, criticized Amsterdam's mayor and vowed to protect Jews in the Netherlands.
