Antisemitic rioters “actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them” after a soccer match in Amsterdam, authorities in the Netherlands said Friday, with police reporting five people hospitalized and 62 detained after a night of violence between. The police did not mention the nationality of any of those injured or arrested after the scenes of chaos in the Dutch capital.

Do we want to bring it home with the text messages being sent to black college students?
Let’s listen to a song that is still timely after all these years.
“We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” said King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands…

The thread title reminded me more of this one…
So, this has been verified now? The Beeb reported on it last night, saying “Bibi” was howling about it, and sending aircraft to the Netherlands to evacuate Israelis, but the report was otherwise unverified.

Well, the king of the country was talking about it, and here is the mayor:
The mayor of Amsterdam has condemned what she called an “explosion of antisemitism” in the city, during which Israeli football fans came under violent attack from local rioters.
Femke Halsema said youths on scooters had criss-crossed the Dutch capital on Thursday night on the hunt for Israeli supporters in a “hit-and-run”.
The police chief said five fans had been taken to hospital and as many as 30 others had suffered minor injuries. Prosecutors said a total of 62 people were arrested.

This issue was bipartisan. It didn’t help that Israeli fans were heard shouting “Death to Arabs” and were seen tearing down Palestinian flags before the game.
Then, Israeli fans also disrupted a moment of silence during the game.
Does that make someone anti-Semitic if they get Poed and attack people for such behavior? I don’t know. If Detroit Lions fans at a Bears game shouted “death to Chicago” and then disrespected some remembrance ceremony, I am not sure we would say that Chicagoans were racist if they attacked Detroit fans after the game.
Of course, none this makes violence the correct response.
Source?
ralph thinks there is indeed “the rest of the story”.
The noon news just reported on it. We see similar attacks here from time to time.

The linked article in the OP - you know, the one thing you should probably read before commenting? 
Soccer matches are renown for riots and violence among the fans.
The authorities need to hold it down. That has been going on for decades.
Cruising the city for targets is new? Maybe, maybe not.
Europe cities at night are dangerous.
Porto is an exception?

Thanks for the rest of the story.
Yes! DB2’s OP does not present the rest of the story. He only posts his biased half of the story.
Reference or link to your claim?
Well, the OP contains the link, the headline and the first paragraph. You need to take up your complaint with the writers at CBS.

You are the one who cherry picked the info.
“cherry picked”? I seldom cut/paste more than three paragraphs because of intellectual property, but here are paragraphs 2 through 5:
The five people treated in the hospital were released, while some 20 to 30 people suffered light injuries, police said. At least 62 suspects were arrested, with 10 still in custody, the city’s public prosecutor, René de Beukelaer, told reporters at a news conference Friday.
The attacks were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Amsterdam, Israel and across Europe. In the U.S., President Biden said antisemitism must be fought wherever it emerges.
“The antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted,” Mr. Biden said on social media. “We’ve been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable. We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.”
Police said security will be beefed up at Jewish institutions across the city, which has a large Jewish community and was home to Jewish World War II diarist Anne Frank and her family as they hid from N@zi occupiers.

There were clashes before the game, too, as Maccabi fans were among hundreds to march through central Amsterdam in a pro-Israel demonstration, during which flares were lit and Palestinian flags hung on some streets were torn down amid chants of “death to the Arabs.” Anger rose as Israeli supporters disrespected a moment of silence.
As CBS News correspondent Ramy Inocencio reports, bloody brawls between rival fans around soccer games in Europe — so called hooliganism — are not new, but since the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack by Hamas and other militants sparked the still-raging war that has killed tens of thousands of people, antisemitism has surged across the continent and beyond.
European family.
It is not the entire city but as football fans get violent so does the night life after the bars. There are gangs. There are poorer pockets or neighborhoods.
If you do not know that then look it up.
