Amsterdam violence against Israeli football fans condemned as antisemitic

The Dutch Prime Minister has condemned what he called anti-semitic attacks against Israeli football fans in Amsterdam last night.

Five people were taken to hospital, and dozens arrested. Israel’s Prime Minister has likened it to the pogroms of the last century.

The violence followed a day and a half of tension, with some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans ripping down Palestinian flags and chanting racist, anti-Arab slogans.

And a warning, this report contains images of violence that some viewers may find distressing.
