In one incident during the Amsterdam pogroms, a Jewish man was thrown into the cold waters of a river, accompanied by actions and shouts of “Free Palestine.”
The video was posted by the Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov”.
When the water temperature was around 5°C, he was not allowed to leave, forcing him to shout political slogans.
There were reportedly no police present at the time of the attack, raising serious questions about security measures and the level of protection of citizens.
Let us remember that in Amsterdam there was a serious attack on Israeli fans who had arrived to support the Maccabi team from Tel Aviv in a match against the local club Ajax.
After the game ended, riots broke out in the city streets, resulting in dozens of Israelis being injured, some of them seriously. Videos of the attacks appeared on social media showing groups of people, many wearing Palestinian masks and flags, threatening Israelis and forcing them to shout their support for Palestine.
Witnesses report incidents involving knives and other threats. The Dutch authorities have mobilized a significant police force and sent more than 600 officers to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens temporarily taking refuge in safe places in Amsterdam. However, despite the measures, the situation remains only partially under control. Among those detained were citizens of Türkiye and Iran; In total, 65 people were arrested.
The Israeli consul said the wounded were in Amsterdam hospitals and that two people were considered missing. Israel has taken steps to protect its citizens abroad and urged Israelis in Amsterdam to exercise greater caution, advising them to avoid large gatherings, not display symbols and to contact the consulate or police in case of danger.
Israeli citizens are also strongly encouraged to return to their homeland if possible. One of the Israelis who found himself at the epicenter of these events noted that he experienced a fear that reminded him of stories of tragic historical events that seemed far away.
