Amsterdam islamist thugs are out tonight, fighting the police and setting trams on fire.

The footage coming out of this evening is extremely troubling as pro-/pro- mobs have taken to the streets, seemingly fire bombing a city bus, smashing windows, and engage with violence. The world blamed it on on Nov 7. What’s the excuse tonight?

The Dutch capital is experiencing tension after between Jews and Muslims the previous week. At the time, 62 people were detained and 30 were injured. The episode took place in the context of the Dutch team Ajax’s game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, from Israel.
The Israeli government sent 2 planes to repatriate Maccabi Tel Aviv fans present in the city.
After the riots, Amsterdam City Hall banned demonstrations from taking place in the country’s capital for 3 days. The city’s mayor, Femke Halsema, applied the measure due to “anti-Semitic squads” who were in the city, according to her.
However, the ban was violated by some groups. On Sunday night (Nov. 10), more than 50 people were and hundreds more were dispersed from a square by police. The demonstrators were protesting in favor of the Palestinian cause.
