The Times of Israel has a couple of posts on the liveblog:
Israel Foreign Ministry says 10 Israelis hurt in Amsterdam assaults, 2 unreachable
[IsraelTimes] Citing information from Dutch authorities, the Foreign Ministry says 10 Israelis were hurt in the attacks in Amsterdam on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.

A statement from the ministry says the severity of the injuries are unclear.

The Foreign Ministry also says that Israelis are currently out of touch, and that it’s advising Israeli citizens not to leave their hotels.

The National Security Council issues a similar instruction, while calling on those who are out in public not display any Israeli or Jewish symbols.

Assailants shouting ‘free Palestine’ brutally attack Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam
[IsraelTimes] Fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv report being attacked in the streets of Amsterdam after the Israeli soccer team’s loss to local club Ajax, with video from the Dutch city showing brutal assaults by masked assailants, some of whom carry Palestinian flags and shout “free Palestine.”

Reports say a number of Israelis were injured, but there are no immediate figures.

Some of the targeted Israelis’ passports were stolen by the attackers, according to Hebrew media outlets.



Netanyahu asks Dutch counterpart to boost security for Jewish community in the Netherlands
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to his Dutch counterpart Dick Schoof about the attack on Israelis in Amsterdam, says the Prime Minister’s Office.

Netanyahu stresses the importance of the Dutch government ensuring the safety of all Israelis in the country and tells Schoof that he treats the premeditated attack seriously.
Premeditated? Another project for Mossad, if the Dutch don't handle it quickly.
He also asks for increased security for the Jewish community in the Netherlands.

The premier thanks Schoof for his statements on the attack, which he called antisemitic.

Planes are on their way to the Netherlands to bring home Israelis, including those injured.

The PMO says that Netanyahu was in direct contact with the Foreign Ministry and his military secretary from the time that the incident began.

Dutch PM vows perpetrators of ‘unacceptable, antisemitic’ attack in Amsterdam will be caught
[IsraelTimes] Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof says that he is horrified by the “unacceptable, antisemitic” attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam following a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He says that the “perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted” and that order has been restored in Amsterdam following the overnight violence.

Red State is also following the story. Kidnapping or potential kidnapping is a concern. Check back at the link for updates.
Multiple outlets are reporting that anti-Israel mobs are chasing down Israelis and savagely beating them on the streets of Amsterdam Thursday following a soccer game between Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and Amsterdam's Ajax.

As of this writing, dozens of extremely disturbing videos are being posted to X depicting violent beatings as individuals are surrounded and then pummeled.


… as they returned by train from the game.
➡️ Footage circulating on social media shows fans being beaten and chased with knives.
➡️ Dutch authorities say 10 Israelis were injured and they have lost contact with two individuals.
➡️ About 57 suspects have reportedly been arrested.
➡️ Israel has dispatched two rescue planes to bring Israelis home.
➡️ The situation is still ongoing with hundreds of Israelis being instructed to lock themselves in hotel rooms and not go outside.

Deutsche Welle gives the big picture:
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE INCIDENT
A Europa League football match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv took place on Thursday night.

Clashes broke out between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and Dutch police before the fixture who had reported "tensions" in several parts of the city in the run-up to the match, which Ajax won 5-0.

In an earlier post on X, police said that a Palestinian flag had been pulled from a facade by "currently unknown persons."

Police said later that several hundred Maccabi fans had gathered on Dam Square, where the atmosphere was reported to have been tense but then calmer.

A pro-Palestinian rally demonstrating against the Israeli football club's visit had initially been scheduled to take place near the stadium but was moved by city authorities for security reasons.

Clashes had taken place as part of the group of demonstrators tried to make their way to the stadium but were stopped by riot police, who were pelted with "heavy fireworks."

Police said 57 people were arrested and that due to unrest, police were still visible in the city.
Possibly in light of all that, Paris and UEFA authorities will change their minds about this: UEFA says no problem with bloodstained ‘Free Palestine’ banner at Paris soccer game

#18  To summarize ACA Joe’s various really believable disguises:

The proper response to the kind of trash-talking done by all other soccer fans around the world is to collect up knives, clubs, iron bars, steel-toed shoes, and thousands of one’s dearest friends, and rampage for hours through the streets beating up anyone who looks Jewish or Jewish-adjacent.

And the proper response of the police and the public is to stand by and do nothing until the prime minister and the king start asking questions, then arrest a couple dozen people who will mostly later be turned loose for lack of evidence.

They do not rise to the level of barbarians. ACA Joe. the little pipsqueak who finds that admirable and overly exciting, do not rise to the level of the scum that floats in the gutter.

#17  Lord Garth NO that is the exact censorship the deep state wants

Tye problem is Muslim migration

The answer is shutting the borders to muslims, deporting those not yet citizens

And then banning the practise of sharia law by defining it as an enemy ideology with which we are at war and prosecuting any that practise it for treason

Existing treason laws will ensure compliance or emigration of the muslim colonists

#14  Richie Torres, House Dem leader has tweeted his harsh condemnation of this.

What needs to be introduced in Congress is a 'blood libel' law holding people who misreport events (like the false report of Israel bombing a hospital) libel in some way.

Look no further than the modern day agnostic Liberal Pacifists agenda, which has allowed the 2nd Islamic invasion. Its use of OPEN BORDERS, has allowed this Evil to take root in many too areas.

Seriously.
ISLAM's own book of faith, the Qur'an, (written about 400 to 500+ years after the Jewish Old Testament), clearly calls for those of the Islam/Muslim faith to make violence on all not of Islam.

Which majority of the Islamic faith have a well documented history of thus doing.
