45:44Now PlayingAmsterdam was left shaken after a wave of brutal violence targeting Israeli soccer fans during a Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv escalated into what some have called a "Jew hunt." Masked youths on scooters and e-bikes prowled the city, reportedly asking victims if they were Jewish or demanding to see passports before launching attacks. Videos captured scenes of young men wielding sticks and firecrackers, with one incident involving a tram vandalized and set ablaze in a city square. The violence, described by Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof as “shameful” and “unacceptable,” resulted in over 20 injuries and 62 arrests, with 10 Israelis among those detained. Schoof drew a stark distinction, stating, “There is a big difference between destroying things and hunting Jews. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can excuse the deliberate searching and hunting down of Jews.” Reports suggest the attacks were fueled by social media incitement amidst heightened tensions over the Israel-Palestine conflict. King Willem-Alexander, reflecting on the Netherlands’ Holocaust history, lamented, “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during the Second World War... and last night, we failed again.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared the events to Kristallnacht, a notorious antisemitic pogrom, while calling for stronger measures against rising antisemitism in Europe. As scrutiny turned to European security measures, UEFA announced the relocation of future matches involving Israeli teams to neutral venues, highlighting the broader implications of the violence for Israeli sports fans across the continent.
