What was supposed to be a routine soccer game between Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and Amsterdam Ajax turned into a fight for survival for the Israelis who traveled to the city to watch the match. These aren’t isolated incidents. It appears to be an organized pogrom, where scores of Israelis are being targeted, brutalized and hunted down in the city. Pro-terrorist supporters are roaming the streets and storming into hotels looking for Israelis to assault and kill (via Fox News):

Videos posted on social media appeared to show multiple fights in streets. 

Spanish media reported earlier in the week anti-Israel agitators would protest outside the stadium where the match was being played, targeting the club and its fans. 

Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, gave an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday night. 

"We are seeing a pogrom against Jews and Israelis unfold in Amsterdam," Danon said. "In 2024. This must stop. ‘Globalize the intifada’ was not just a slogan for these terrorist supporters. I urge the Dutch government to help all Israelis and Jewish people immediately. It’s time to respond with force against these barbaric rioters."
