Supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv hold flags at Dam square ahead of the Europa League football match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, in Amsterdam on November 7, 2024.
Violent attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans following a soccer match in Amsterdam on Thursday evening left several Israelis wounded and were likely to have been a result of a pre-planned attack against Jews organized in a Telegram group, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Friday.
An alleged "Jew hunt" was announced well in advance in the messaging app Telegram, prompting rioters to travel from far outside Amsterdam to attack Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and Jewish people, De Telegraaf reported.
Already on Wednesday nights, Amsterdam's city center had been the site of similar incidents, the Dutch paper noted.
Several taxi drivers were also reported to be involved in the attack on Israelis, as they arrived in central Amsterdam to target groups of Israelis, De Telegraaf stated.
One Israeli ended up in one of Amsterdam's canals, while others hid at the Holland Casino. An investigation by Holland Casino revealed that a hired security guard was active in one of the Telegram groups where information was exchanged between perpetrators, De Telegraaf alleged.
The Dutch paper reported that, according to the casino, the security guard will no longer be hired back.
Following the attacks on Thursday night, individuals in the Telegram groups spoke of a follow-up attack.
Rioters on scooters conducted hit-and-runs against Israelis Several rioters used scooters to conduct hit-and-runs against Israelis, and taxi drivers were also involved in the violence and sharing information on Telegram and other messaging apps.
Rioters sought to attack Maccabi Tel Aviv fans before the soccer match, but police were able to prevent the attack.
De Telegraaf noted that over the course of the night, not all 800 police officers that were deployed were present in the city, and reportedly, only 200 officers were deployed.
De Telegraaf reported that taxi company Uber said they are "shocked" by the antisemitic attacks and that the company is ready to assist police in investigating perpetrators.
Along with calls for violence against Jewish people and Israelis in messaging groups, addresses of Jews were allegedly circulated among drivers in WhatsApp groups, De Telegraaf wrote.
BTTT
Islam should only be allowed to be practiced in Hell, where Arabic is the major language.
did they mention in the article that the messages were in arabic? Otherwise they imply it was White Maga men
No one ever faced that choice with Jews.
And the Muslims will be coming all the other infidels after a while, including those who try to make nice.
