The city of Amsterdam is feeling the fallut from what has been called a shameful "Jew hunt" and "pogrom" on its streets that has rekindled memories of Europe’s darkest hours.
After Maccabi Tel Aviv had played a Europa League match against Ajax last 8 November, Israeli fans were chased with knives, humiliated and assaulted across the Dutch capital.
"I am ashamed," said Femke Halsema, the mayor of Amsterdam, as she described hit-and-run attacks on the Israeli fans, announcing a temporary ban on protests.
"Boys on scooters criss-crossed the city looking for Israeli football fans. It was a hit and run. I understand very well that this brings back memories of pogroms."
"Our city has been deeply damaged. Jewish culture has been deeply threatened. This is an outburst of anti-Semitism that I hope to never see again."
The day after, King Willem-Alexander said the Netherlands had failed Jewish people like the country had done "during World War Two".
One video posted on social media shows a man who appears totally unconscious on the street as he is repeatedly kicked in the fetal position.
In another, a young Israeli supporter seeking to flee from pro-Palestinians in a narrow alley ends up crouching on the floor. He begs for mercy but they knock him out with a punch to the head as screams erupt.
In a third, a man wearing yellow crouched on the floor is kicked as his assailants shout: "It’s for the children, motherf—--." "We have become the Gaza of Europe," populist Dutch political leader Geert Wilders of the anti-Muslim immigration Freedom Party in the Netherlands said following the attacks.
"Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews. I will NOT accept that. NEVER," he wrote on X. "The authorities will be held accountable for their failure to protect the Israeli citizens. Never again."
