There was an actual pogrom – a hunting down and attacking of Jewish Israelis – on the streets of Amsterdam in the late night/early morning hours today.
And if you look at the calendar, today is the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht. That’s a very sick irony. But if you look at the mainstream media’s reporting and their headlines about what happened in Amsterdam, you would be led to believe that this was just rowdy soccer fans picking fights with each other.
That is not what happened. This is what happened.

The full post reads:
Shocking pogroms against Jews in Amsterdam – fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv report that the attacks were premeditated by groups of Arabs.
They gathered in clusters of 5 to 10 in alleys and key exits from various train stations, particularly around Dam Square and the streets near Israeli hotels.
They had precise information on where to wait, and as soon as they spotted Israelis, they attacked with knives, bats, and other weapons, with some reports of vehicles with Palestinian flags involved in hit-and-run incidents.
The police left Maccabi fans unaccompanied after they exited the Johan Cruyff Arena, providing no escort from the moment they boarded the trains to their hotels.
One man is heard pleasing(sic) “I’m not Jewish”. He was beaten regardless.
It took the police nearly an hour and a half to respond, and many fans recorded police vehicles standing idle while the Arab crowd not only attacked but also threw fireworks into hotels where Israelis were hiding.
One fan, who managed to escape after a terrifying hour reached Amsterdam Airport covered in blood and injuries, expressed his frustration, saying, “The Dutch police sold us out to let the Arabs lynch us.”
Israel’s Prime Minister ordered the immediate release of two rescue planes to assist the citizens.
Is this 1939 Germany or 2024 Amsterdam?!
The Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team was playing a Europa League game against a local Amsterdam team, Ajax. Reportedly, some 3,000 Israeli fans had flown in to watch the match. The reports vary as to why this started, but once it did, it was clear that any suspected Israelis were being hunted down and ambushed by Muslim migrants who now live in Amsterdam. While Dutch police did make arrests, there are allegedly ten Israelis injured and two people unaccounted for. Israel has sent (with the IDF’s involvement) two “rescue planes” to collect their citizens and get them out of harm’s way, but in the meantime, anyone still in Amsterdam has been instructed to hide in their hotels, and if they come out, don’t look “Jewish.”
Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament who has argued against the importing of Muslim migrants into the Netherlands for years at this point, was righteously furious, and tweeting in both Dutch and English.
A Jew hunt in Amsterdam.
It is totally unacceptable that there was insufficient police protection to prevent this violence and protect the people.
The mayor of Amsterdam must resign today.

But if you looked at American and international media, you would have no idea what was going on. The initial Associated Press headline stated “Maccabi Tel Aviv fans clash with reported pro-Palestinian protesters at Ajax Europa League match.” WHAT.
Why would anyone trust news wire services and outlets that lie to people about something like this? Anyone who relies on the Associated Press now has the wrong impression about a serious news event happening tonight. Better off following random Twitter accounts.
Then you wonder… https://t.co/EzFntlMyOd

A “clash”? What kind of headline is that? Why on earth would any media outlet downplay what is happening? Yes, that was a rhetorical question. Their bias against Israel has media corporations like the Associated Press – also known as Hamas’s former office mates – downplaying an actual pogrom happening in Amsterdam. And yes, the media is biased against Israel.
As many pointed out, Amsterdam is supposed to be “enlightened” and “aware” about their connections to the Holocaust. But that hasn’t stopped them from importing new Nazis.
The Netherlands has a Holocaust museum and an Anne Frank House and still manages to host a pogrom because Holocaust education isn't the answer.
The answer?
Enforce your laws. Control immigration.
Stand up for civilization.

To all the Democrats who called Trump a “fascist” and “Orange Hitler,” and who are deeply disturbed and hysterically distraught now – what do you have to say about this pogrom in Amsterdam? Will you speak up to condemn this? Where is the media who panicked over a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden? This is not a “clash.” This is a targeted attack. This is terrorism. This is a pogrom. And if the West can’t be honest about what is happening, then we won’t survive.
UPDATE 9 AM PT
A little bit of good news.
Thank God. https://t.co/4B4neX7Rav

Given what we have seen over the last year regarding hostages, having everyone accounted for is a massive relief. And many Israelis are now heading home.

Hopefully, those who were injured will be able to recover quickly. But the government of the Netherlands has some serious soul-searching to do after what happened.

Scott says: No, they won’t speak up, they support this. They would do it here if they thought they could get away with it, and in some areas they have done it on a smaller scale. Don’t be surprised if we see similar between now and inauguration day. Between their unhinged rage at President Trump being reelected, and knowing that they still have a free hand to do what they want (in Dim cities anyway) you can bet they’ll get violent.
The only reason they haven’t already is because they really thought they’d be able to steal this election as well, so they had no plans in place for violence. You can bet soros and his minions are actively planning…
GWB says: From a commenter on another blog, quoting Dutch law/regulations:
In the Netherlands, the possession of all firearms, ammunition, and other weapons is prohibited. It is also forbidden to use weapons. There are some exceptions, for instance to trade in weapons and ammunition or if you practice shooting sports. In such cases you will still need a weapon licence.
That’s not the case in a lot of America. And I think some of the anti-American types are starting to figure out a large number of Americans see them as a threat to be eliminated, not as a toddler having a tantrum to be treated with kid gloves.
Jews need to be going Purim on these folks wherever they are.
GWB says: “Maccabi Tel Aviv fans clash with reported pro-Palestinian protesters at Ajax Europa League match.”
The oppressed have no agency. In the doctrines of Progressives, no oppressed person has agency for their actions. Not ever. Pregnant without a father? Driving 100mph in a 25mph residential zone? Killing Jews? Raping 12yo girls? Smoking? All the result of your oppression – if not for those dastardly [spins wheel] Jews, you would be a perfect person.
And then they demand that agency be removed from the oppressor, too. Defend yourself? Oh heck no. You can’t be allowed to have that agency. That must reside in someone else, like the government.
like the Associated Press – also known as Hamas’s former office mates –
Ah, I see you have forgotten the “Associated (with terrorists) Press” appellation we have used for 30 years or so. Yours is ok, too, if a little overly specific on which terrorists. 😉
Stand up for civilization.
Too late. All of Europe is now moorish Spain. And the key is their walls weren’t overwhelmed. They opened the gates of Vienna to the Muslim horde. All because they made ungoverned “compassion” an ultimate virtue and judgment of values an ultimate vice.
(Ironically, the Poles – and Hungarians – tried to save them again, but the Hussars were too late.)
Edward Lunny says: Ah yes, another installment of “muslims demonstrating the truth about islam”
In case you aren’t aware, bought into the propaganda, or were living on another planet. The truth about islam and muslims is once again revealed as a reminder. This also demonstrates the abject stupidity of unrestrained immigration from 3rd world turd buckets. The people who promoted and defend those policies and dictates should be confronted and have their minds changed, personally. Finally, never, never surrender the means to self defense. Some time, at some point those government officials charged with protecting you will abandon you, deliberately. Never forget, never forgive.
bob sykes says: The fight between Israeli and Palestinians followed two nights of rioting by the Israelis, during which they roamed the streets tearing Palestinian flags and attacking individual Arabs. They also mocked a moment of silence offered for the Spanish victims of flooding. The Israelis were the aggressors, not the victims. Israeli soccer fans have a long, sordid history of racism and violence, just like the English hooligans.
Try to get your stories strait.
Scott says: Nice try Bob, crawl back into your trashcan would ya? We know you hate Jews and love you some muzzie terrorists, you don’t have to remind us.
John Shepherd says: I thought Sykes disappeared into the sewer from which he emerged. I guess I was wrong.
Scott says: He’s that turd that just won’t flush
