believe it or not, the Dutch Amish are NOT suspected in the assaults
A soccer match in Amsterdam between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax descended into chaos.
The Israeli soccer team was in town for the Europa League game when things spiraled out of control Thursday night. Fans of the Israeli team were attacked in the streets following the game, and the video footage is incredibly troubling.
Dutch police announced that 62 people were arrested, and five people were hospitalized, according to ABC News.
"In several places in the city, supporters were attacked. The police had to intervene several times, protect Israeli supporters and escort them to hotels. Despite the massive police presence in the city, Israeli supporters have been injured. This outburst of violence toward Israeli supporters is unacceptable and cannot be defended in any way. There is no excuse for the antisemitic behavior exhibited last night," the city said in a statement released following the attacks, according to the same report.
