Amsterdam pogrom victim: 'They beat us like dogs, people around didn't intervene'

Tzvi Kedar, a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan, who was injured after being brutally beaten in Amsterdam, recounted the terrifying moments he experienced.

"When we exited the metro after the game, nothing felt problematic. Suddenly, in Dam Square, a woman approached us and told us 'Come to my bar, it's dangerous for you to walk around here'. We thought she was joking and trying to sell us alcohol, but when we went in, we saw many frightened and scared Israelis. She saved us; we were really on our way to hell,” Kedar recounted in an interview on Kan Radio.

"The police arrived and dispersed the event, the rioters were not afraid of the police. We asked one of them to escort us to the hotel, and he refused, claiming 'We don't provide escort services'," he said, noting that he and his friend had to walk to the hotel alone and conceal any sign that might identify them as Israelis.

"200 meters from the hotel, someone approached me and asked where I was from; I answered 'Greece', and he pulled my yellow Maccabi scarf from my pocket and started confronting me." Tzvi shouted to his friend to run to no avail, and more assailants arrived at the scene: "They confronted us with metal rods, bottles, and knuckledusters; we were two against twenty, taking hits on the street like dogs. My friend lost consciousness, and I was bleeding."

He tried to call an ambulance and heard that the rescue forces refused to come to the location. "We evacuated ourselves by taxi...."

He noted that the difficult event would not prevent him from continuing to support his team. "We will continue to travel around Europe; we shouldn't give these people a victory, but the countries hosting us need to provide a more serious response...."

"the countries hosting us need to provide a more serious response'

No. They won't. This is the new normal.

My wife has a friend in Amsterdam who is organizing a more militant response to these sorts of attacks, which will only increase. This is just the beginning. I wish them luck, and hope that Geert Wilder and PM Schoof are as good as their word, and will make this revival of JDL-like organizations unnecessary.

It’s time to pack up all our gear in Europe and leave that feceshole continent to their own devices. Time to give NATO our pink slip.

[Eleutheria5]

Putin will be happy.

[RoosterRedux]

People in groups are cowards. They will cheer as you hang but they will not, as a group, try to rescue you.

That's just human nature.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Putin will be happy.

Part of the reason the pogroms and attacks will continue in European cities is that you can't even correctly identify the enemy.

So, it is 2 against 20. How many people are going to jump in and join the two? The lesson is you don’t go. Go somewhere else and spend your money. The team will do just fine without you. Situational awareness.

[AlaskaErik]

Putin will be happy.

Putin is a sick old man. Let him be happy during his last days. No need for us to waste our money defending that ungrateful Eurotrash.

Jooz in Israel got it together. Jooz in Europe don’t.

[Savage Beast]

Police should be only a phone call away to escort endangered people to safety. Have the Dutch lost their minds?

Amsterdam, one of Europe’s Potemkin Villages.

[I got the rope]

Why doesn’t he say why he got his ass beat. Say it. What were they chanting and what were they doing why they walked the streets of Amsterdam.

[Eleutheria5]

You put the onus on him to state why he was assaulted. This chant that they said while in the stadium was a cheer for their team. Can someone beat you up and then make you explain why they did it?

[Stepan12]

You talk of the JDL? Here is their marching song.

Also, as it is Veteran's day, here are my renditions of the Star Spangled Banner and the Stars and Stripes Forever.

[Eleutheria5]

Heard it before. I’ve known JDLers my whole life. They’re not about much.

[Stepan12]

I was in the JDL and I thought we were doing good work. We tried and succeeded in getting Jews out of the old Soviet Union. Many thanked our leader, Rav. Meir Kahane zt'l, for his efforts.

Rav Kahane was assassinated and the group that did it later blew up the WTC tower in 1993.

[Eleutheria5]

I was in it briefly after he was killed. Maybe the old “Chaya Squad” people did some good. I don’t know. The Soviet Union collapsed, and before it did, it softened up and they stopped blocking people who wanted to leave.

But one thing I do know, and that’s that the people who were active after Kahane’s murder were usually either FBI informants or a@@-holes, or both. I knew them, and sometimes met with and worked with them, and am grateful to be far, far away from them now, including the Tapuach mitnahalim. Especially them.

[Stepan12]

FBI informants.... I know what you mean.
