On 7 November 2024, following a UEFA Europa League football match in Amsterdam between Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dutch club AFC Ajax, tensions over the Israel–Hamas war escalated to violence. Targets of the violence included Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, [3] an Arab taxi driver, [4] and pro-Palestinian protestors. [5] 20–30 people sustained light injuries. [6] [7] [8] Five people were hospitalised. At least 71 people were arrested, including 49 Dutch nationals or residents and 10 Israelis. [9] [10]

Contents

In the run-up to the match, some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed pulling Palestinian flags from houses, making anti-Arab chants such as "Death to Arabs", assaulting people, and vandalising local property. [11] [1] [2] [12] [13] Calls to target Israeli supporters were subsequently shared via social media. [14] [15] At the stadium, some Maccabi fans also interrupted a minute of silence for the victims of the 2024 Spanish floods with chanting and whistles. [16] [17] [18] After the match, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were ambushed and assaulted across the city. [19] The mayor's office said the perpetrators "actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them". [12] Individuals were shot with fireworks, physically assaulted, and spat on. [20] [9] [21] Eight rescue flights were organized for the safe return of Israeli fans. [22] [23]

The attacks on Israeli fans were widely condemned as criminal and antisemitic. [24] [25] [26] The attacks and other acts by Israeli fans were also criticized for anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism. [27] [4] [28] A report released by the Amsterdam authorities four days after the riots described the causes as "a poisonous cocktail of antisemitism, hooligan behavior and anger about the war in Palestine and Israel and other countries in the Middle East", placing blame both on the antisemitism of those who attacked Maccabi fans and the provocations and violence of Israeli hooligans. [29] [30] [10] The mayor later expressed regret at her own use of the word pogrom to describe the incident and called it propaganda used to discriminate against Muslim residents of the city. [31]

After the onset of the Israel–Hamas war on 7 October 2023, a number of protests related to the war have taken place in the Netherlands. [32] [33]

There have been significant increases in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents worldwide during the course of the war, including in the Netherlands. [34] [35] [36] Antisemitism and Islamophobia in the Netherlands were already notably high before the war. [37] [38] [39] A few months before the attacks, the European Union's Fundamental Rights Agency reported a rise in antisemitic attacks across Europe, which were partly attributed to the war. [40] [41] The agency also reported a rise in racism and discrimination towards Muslims and Arabs in the continent. [42]

Racism and xenophobia are also common in European football, with rising incidents of both antisemitism and Islamophobia reported within the sport. [43] [44] [45] The Maccabi Tel Aviv fan base is known to include far-right ultra groups [46] [47] that have been involved in racist incidents in Israel in the past, including directing racist abuse at Arab and black players on their own team. [48] [6] [49] In March, prior to a game against Olympiacos, a man who had been carrying a Palestinian flag was taken to hospital in Athens after an altercation with a group of Maccabi fans. Two people were arrested. [50] [6] [51] Other European matches played by Maccabi Tel Aviv this season had passed without violence. [6] However, security issues with hosting games for visiting Israeli teams have previously arisen, such as the Royal Belgian Football Association declining to stage a Men's National League game between Belgium and Israel in Brussels on 6 September 2024, with the game being played behind closed doors in Hungary instead. [9]

Events

Prelude

The match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv was a Europa League group stage match held at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Ahead of the game, Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema prohibited pro-Palestinian protests near the stadium due to concerns over possible violence. [52] Halsema requested an additional threat assessment from the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV), noting increased tensions due to the Israel–Hamas war and the upcoming commemoration of the Kristallnacht , [53] but the NCTV found no specific threats. [21] Mossad agents joined the team on their trip to "provide maximum protection", [54] [55] and Amsterdam police increased their presence in the city center the night before the match. [19]

Israel claimed that the Mossad warned of a potential threat to Israelis and Jews in the Netherlands prior to the match, sending a warning to security forces. [56] Dutch security minister David van Weel said they had not received a warning but would continue searching if they had missed something. [57] The mayor later said that the match itself was not initially flagged as high-risk, as Ajax is traditionally associated with Judaism. [34] [58] Local authorities cited concerns over the potential for conflict in various areas, [19] [12] as "distressing" incidents targeting minorities—including Jews, Muslims and Palestinians specifically—had occurred before. [10] A pro-Palestinian protester, who had called for a boycott of Maccabi Tel Aviv to match the boycott of Russian teams, had been attacked by Ajax supporters near Centraal Station on 2 November 2024. [59] Mossad also warned ahead of the event of an Israeli former soldier having his passport stolen and his details posted on social media. [60]

6 November

By 6 November, pro-Palestinian activists expressed fear on social media about the arrival of Israeli fans. "The city is full of hooligans, including Israeli soldiers," said a widely shared message on pro-Palestinian social media channels. "Maccabi openly supports war crimes and genocide in Gaza. (...) Ask yourself, are you physically and mentally prepared to take on a crowd of hooligans? Staying at home does not make you any less of an activist." [61]

That evening, footage and reports showed about 50 Maccabi fans [10] in Amsterdam, tearing down and burning [13] Palestinian flags, and shouting "fuck you Palestine". [13] [62] Dozens of Maccabi supporters gathered in front of Villa Mokum, a squat on the Rokin where several Palestinian flags were displayed. Videos showed them throwing stones at the windows, climbing the building and ripping the flags off. "They kicked our doors and tried to enter our house," a 23-year-old resident of the property told Het Parool . "They raised their middle finger and made decapitation gestures, saying [in English], 'We're going to kill you and we will come back'." [11] Video footage showed a police car passing without stopping, leading to criticism on social media. [61] [63]

A Dutch police chief said there were incidents "on both sides". [64] Groups of Maccabi fans vandalised several taxis in and around the red light district. [10] A video showed a man attacking a taxi with a metal chain. [61] [63] Another video shared on social media showed a group of people kicking a man on the ground. [63] [65] [66] This was followed by "an online call" for taxi drivers to go to a casino where 400 Israeli fans were present, but the situation was eventually defused by the police, who escorted the Maccabi supporters outside. [62] [67] [68] A Maccabi supporter was also chased into the canal and forced to yell "Free Palestine". [13] [69] According to AT5, "Kankerjood" ("cancer Jew") was shouted during the incident. [70] [71] The Amsterdam police said they had prevented other disturbances, and that by 3.30am everything in the city had quietened down. [53]

On Wednesday evening after the incident at the casino and throughout Thursday, calls for attacks on Israeli supporters, including a call for a "Jew hunt", were shared in Snapchat, Telegram, and WhatsApp groups. [15] [14] [72]

7 November

City officials met on the morning of the match to discuss whether to cancel the game due to the "aggression shown by Maccabi supporters and the reaction of the taxi drivers". It was decided to let the game go ahead. [10] That afternoon, some pro-Palestinian demonstrators attempted to reach the Johan Cruyff Arena, despite the heightened security and protest ban. [19] Maccabi Fanatics ultras also convened in the city centre, in particular around Dam Square, displaying banners for Israeli soldiers and setting off illegal fireworks. [63] They chanted, among other things, "Fuck the Arabs". [13] Other people, clothed in black, chanted anti-Israeli slogans. [73] Police instructed individuals displaying pro-Palestinian symbols or chanting slogans like "Free Palestine" to leave the square. [74]

At around 5pm, the Maccabi ultras moved towards the stadium, leading to fights in side streets and in Station Square. [73] On their way to the match, Israeli fans were captured on video chanting "Death to Arabs", "Let the IDF win" and "Why is there no school in Gaza? There are no children left there. Olé, olé, olé." [63] [75] At the stadium, a group of Maccabi fans interrupted a minute of silence for the victims of the 2024 Spanish floods with anti-Palestinian chanting and whistles; [76] [77] [18] this was attributed by some outlets to the Spanish government's criticism of Israel's war conduct in Gaza. [16] [17] [78]

After the game, Maccabi supporters moved to the city centre. [73] Footage of Israeli fans being escorted to the metro by police after the match showed them singing anti-Arab songs. [79] A video, geolocated by Sky News to the Amsterdam city centre after dark on 7 November, showed Israeli supporters pulling down another Palestinian flag from a building, accompanied by chants of "Olé, olé" and "fuck you". [79] A group of Maccabi fans were recorded walking through the city centre with belts in their hands, assaulting people. [11] [80] After midnight, chanting Maccabi supporters kicked the front door of a woman with a pro-Palestinian poster in her window. [73] [11]

According to the Dutch police, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were subsequently ambushed and attacked in various locations throughout the city after the match. [19] Halsema said the attacks included "hit-and-run" assaults carried out by "boys on scooters", who fled the scene when confronted by police. [21] Footage showed fans being beaten and chased with knives. Eyewitnesses reported attempted stabbings, individuals being thrown into a river, and attackers beating and spitting on Israelis. [69] Video showed one man, apparently unconscious, kicked repeatedly while sprawled in the street. [14] Other footage showed a group of men being chased down a street in the city centre, with shouting heard as they are struck by someone out of shot; one man on the ground repeatedly shouts: "I'm not Jewish!" [79] A report by Maariv also indicated at least one attempted kidnapping of an Israeli, and many fans sought refuge by barricading themselves in stores and buildings. [69] Ten Israelis were injured and three temporarily went missing during the attacks, but were later accounted for. [81] [82] Dutch police said they attempted to protect as many Israeli fans as possible, organising buses to take them to their hotels. [83]

A video captured after midnight by a Dutch photographer, Annet de Graaf, and verified by The New York Times, showed a group of Maccabi fans picking up pipes and boards from a construction site, then chasing and beating a man. [84] The teenage reporter Benderbij, who filmed the Maccabi fans after the match, described how "the group threw the iron bars at police cars and how the police appear to make an arrest." [85] Later, the group threatened the teenager to stop filming. [86]

Dutch authorities said that attackers made a distinction between Jewish Amsterdammers and visiting fans, saying there was no sign of attacks on the former, and no sign of attacks on Jewish synagogues. [87] Most of the people involved in the "Jew Hunt" were thought to have been taxi drivers and youths on scooters, who believed there were ex-IDF soldiers and Mossad agents among the Maccabi fans. [87]

Further unrest

In the nights following the attacks, people thought to be Jewish continued to be targeted, including being forced out of taxis and ordered to show their passports to check if they were Israeli. [88] [89] On 11 November, four days after the attacks, a tram in Amsterdam's '40-'45 Square caught fire, reportedly due to fireworks thrown at it that also shattered its windows. Local footage captured at least one person shouting "Cancer Jews". Amsterdam police arrested multiple suspects after clashes between dozens of rioters and officers led to the tram incident. [90] According to preliminary investigations, Amsterdam police considered that it was not clear there was a direct connection to the previous week's unrest, and some of the arrests were made separately from the tram incident. [91]

A total of 71 people were arrested in relation to the football match. Before and during the match, police arrested 62 [9] [21] people including three for public violence. [29] Among the people arrested were 49 Dutch residents and 10 Israelis. [92] No arrests were made on the night of 7 November during the anti-Israeli violence after the match, but the police announced they would be searching for suspects. [92] As of 11 November, nine suspects have been arrested. [93]

Aftermath

The five people who were hospitalized were eventually released, while approximately 20 to 30 others sustained minor injuries. Following the return of Maccabi fans to Israel, video was posted on social media showing them chanting the racist slogans they had chanted in Amsterdam, including "Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there". [94] [95]

Amsterdam officials issued an emergency ordinance banning any demonstrations for three days after the overnight attacks, and giving Dutch police the authority to stop and search individuals. [34] Police were also stationed in larger numbers at Jewish institutions across the city. [96] The ordinance was extended for four more days on 10 November. [97] The organisations Erev Rav and the Stop Racism and Fascism Platform cancelled a local Kristallnacht commemoration due to the 'violent' Maccabi supporters [98] and the municipality's inadequate response to the events. [99] They also expressed concern about the "failure of the police to protect anti-Zionist Jews and demonstrators, after the mayor and police of Amsterdam allowed Israeli Zionists to wreak havoc, burn Palestinian flags, wish death to 'Arabs' and mistreat taxi drivers." [100]

On 13 November 2024, pro-Palestinian protestors who had assembled in Dam Square despite the protesting ban were filmed apparently being attacked by police. Mayor Halsema said the incident "looks serious" and was being treated as a high priority investigation by the police and the prosecution service, and will also attempt to determine whether the violence was "in accordance with official instructions". Halsema ended the protest ban on 14 November 2024, saying that enforcing the ban had become "untenable". [101] [102] [103]

In preparation for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League match on 14 November between France and Israel at Stade de France near Paris, French authorities mobilized over 4,000 law enforcement officers throughout the city with RAID escorting the Israeli team and their fans. [104] Security checks near the stadium were also increased and a ban on political messages and Palestinian flags in the stadium was enforced. Despite this, some Israeli officials urged fans not to attend for their safety. [105]

Media reporting

The UK's Sky News and Israel's Channel 12 were criticised for editing reports and deleting social media posts referencing the anti-Arab behaviour of Israeli fans. [28] [27] [106] Sky News removed references to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans tearing down a flag, even though the three men on video could be heard speaking Hebrew, and deleted a reference to Maccabi fans attacking locals. Channel 12 similarly deleted a post about Maccabi Tel Aviv fans tearing down a Palestinian flag and having altercations with Muslim taxi drivers after the network faced backlash, including from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair, who asked: "Whose side is Channel 12 on?" on his Telegram channel. [107] Jewish Council of Australia founder Sarah Schwartz described Sky News' decision as "a powerful example of distorted reportage", and criticised other coverage around the world, writing that "analogies to pogroms and the Holocaust obscure reality" and allow anti-Palestinian racism and antisemitism to "flourish". [27]

Dutch photographer Annet de Graaf filmed Maccabi supporters attacking Amsterdammers, [84] [108] [109] but many media outlets initially misreported that the video showed an antisemitic mob beating Israelis, including The Wall Street Journal , the German tabloid Bild and the Tagesschau news programme of German public broadcaster ARD. [110] [111] [112] The New York Times attributed this to a mistake made by Reuters, who syndicated the footage. [113] [114] [115] DW and Tagesschau issued corrections. [110] [111] [112] [116] Many social media users disputed the initial reporting, and de Graaf addressed CNN, the BBC, The Guardian and The New York Times in a viral post requesting that they also publish an apology and a correction. [110] [112] The Guardian issued a clarification on 11 November 2024. [117] [118] The New York Times issued a correction on 12 November 2024. [113] [114] [115]

Guardian columnist Owen Jones criticised media coverage of the events for failing to cover the Israeli supporters' behaviour in the run-up to the clashes, saying, "if you condemn racist fanatics literally relishing in the mass slaughter of children, then you will be branded a hateful bigot." [28] Marc Owen Jones, a disinformation expert and associate professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar, said that media outlets from The New York Times to the BBC had given a "ridiculously skewed" version of events and "uncritically embraced what looked like an Israeli government press release". [119]

Speaking of the international press coverage of the events, Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema expressed frustration that her comments had been "weaponised" and used as "propaganda" by Israel, leaving her administration overwhelmed. She said Netanyahu escalated the situation by issuing his statement before Amsterdam authorities knew what had happened, leading to the framing of the violence as targeted attacks on Israelis by local Moroccans and Palestinians, and that this contributed to the misinformation that followed. She also said she had not been warned about Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters' history as ultra-nationalists before the match itself. [120] [121] [122]

Response

Netherlands

The attacks were condemned by Dutch authorities, who described them as antisemitic. [19] [40] [123] Some Israeli and Dutch authors also described the incident as a pogrom. [8] [69] [124] Multiple parties in the House of Representatives called for an urgent debate. [125]

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he was "horrified" by the "antisemitic attacks" on Israelis, and that the country had "failed" its Jewish community. He said the attackers would be found and prosecuted, [19] [126] and cancelled his attendance at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Azerbaijan to monitor the response to the unrest. [127] Schoof also criticized comparisons between the actions of the Israeli fans and the "Jew hunt" that followed. He said Israeli fans' actions would also be investigated, but added, "There is nothing, absolutely nothing to serve as an excuse for the deliberate search and hunting down of Jews." [126] Justice Minister David van Weel said the perpetrators would be held accountable, adding, "We should be ashamed of ourselves." [21] VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz described the images as "incredibly sick" and the attacks as "pure Jew-hatred." [125] Stephan van Baarle, member of DENK accused the Maccabi fans of trying to "terrorize the streets of Amsterdam and make them unsafe". [128] King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed "deep horror and shock" at the attacks, adding: "We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again." [129]

The responses of some far-right politicians, such as Geert Wilders, were criticized for weaponizing the incident. [130] Wilders wrote: "Looks like a Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam. Arrest and deport the multicultural scum that attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in our streets." [81] Wilders later accused "Moroccans" of perpetrating the violence and called for the deportation of those convicted in the attacks. [131] On 15 November 2024, the State Secretary for Benefits and Customs, Nora Achahbar of the centrist New Social Contract party, one of the four parties in the Dutch government coalition, resigned from the Council of Ministers, citing racist comments uttered about immigrants during cabinet meetings about the incident. [132] [133] Afterwards, the ruling coalition led by Wilders's Party for Freedom avoided collapse when the four coalition parties agreed to continue working together. [134] [135]

The Forward, a Jewish American newspaper, reported that many in the Netherlands' small Jewish community were worried about their own safety, as they were "treated like representatives of Israel". In a viral Instagram post, Jelle Zijlstra, a Jewish community organizer in Amsterdam, called for nuance as she condemned both the antisemitic attacks and the Maccabi "hooligans". [136] A rabbinical student in Amsterdam said: "We don't know that the people who got attacked last night were those same people who chanted racist chants. There is real evidence that people went 'Jew hunting.'" [130]

Amsterdam

Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema initially described the attackers as "antisemitic hit-and-run squads" and said the incident reminded her of pogroms against Jews in Europe. [18] Halsema later said she regretted her use of the word "pogrom" and condemned the weaponisation of the word to attack Dutch Muslims and Moroccans. [137] [138] [139] [140] [31] A senior Amsterdam councillor, Jazie Veldhuyzen of the left-leaning De Vonk party, said "Maccabi hooligans" initiated the violence when they attacked local homes, and that the city and the right-wing government were exploiting the incidents to persecute migrants. [141] [142] [141] [10]

A statement released by the Amsterdam authorities four days after the riots attributed them to both the attackers' antisemitism and the provocation and violence of the Maccabi fans. [29] It also said there were regular "distressing" events in the city, which affected "not only Jews but also increasingly Muslims, Palestinians and other minority group". [10] Despite this, the city said it had not received any prior warning from the Dutch counterterrorism unit, the NCTV. [29]

Israel

Israeli president Isaac Herzog called the events an "anti-Semitic pogrom" and a warning to any nation that values freedom, but expressed confidence in the Dutch authorities' ability to protect Israelis and Jews. [143] Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar advised Israelis in Amsterdam to stay in their hotels. Sa'ar described the events as "barbaric and antisemitic," and "a blaring alarm call for Europe and the world." He also reached out to his Dutch counterpart, Caspar Veldkamp, for assistance in transporting Israeli citizens safely to the airport. [19] The Israeli embassy in the Netherlands said the attacks involved "kicking, beating, even running over Israeli citizens". [144]

In a call with Dutch PM Schoof, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the seriousness of the attacks and requested heightened security for Israelis and Dutch Jews. [19] He also compared the attacks to the Kristallnacht, noting the attacks took place on its 86th anniversary. [145] Yad Vashem also noted the anniversary, saying the events showed an "alarming resurgence of antisemitism". [146] [147] Netanyahu arranged for El Al, Israel's flag carrier, to run eight free rescue flights from Amsterdam to Tel Aviv, transporting 2,000 Israelis. [19] [23] [22] [40] [148]

Some Israeli journalists were critical of the media coverage of the event. [149] [150] Israeli-American journalist Mairav Zonszein of the International Crisis Group said it was "absurd" to compare the violence in Amsterdam to the pogroms in Russia. [149] Writing in Haaretz , Israeli political journalist Gideon Levy compared the Amsterdam attacks to the "daily pogroms in the West Bank" against Palestinians and the war in Gaza. He wrote: "Israel set another record Thursday for the self-victimization it so very much enjoys, and the media set another record for the incitement, exaggeration, fearmongering and, above all, the concealment of information that doesn't fit the narrative that its consumers enjoy. Amsterdam provided an unmissable opportunity: Once again, Jews are beaten in Europe." [150]

Palestine

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry issued a statement rejecting all forms of violence but condemning anti-Arab racism and the desecration of the Palestinian flag by Maccabi supporters. The ministry expressed concern over the three days of "violent acts" in the capital carried out by fans known for their "racist tendencies". [151] [152] [153] The ministry called on the Dutch government to investigate those responsible for the unrest and to ensure the protection of Palestinians and Arabs, citing concerns over the presence of Israeli settlers and soldiers allegedly spreading "racist notions" across European cities. The ministry warned of the growing influence of these groups, characterizing their actions as a "direct attack on Palestinian identity and symbols." [152] [154]

The Palestinian Football Association said they were "gravely concerned" about the incident, and condemned the anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia expressed by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. It also said it had "presented FIFA with extensive evidence of such hateful expressions, yet concrete action remains lacking". [155] According to France 24, no European leader condemned the racist anti-Arab chants or the violent actions carried out by the Israeli supporters. [156]

Hamas senior spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri said the Amsterdam unrest was a spontaneous response to Israel’s actions in Gaza. He said the events illustrate the public reaction to the ongoing Gaza genocide, which was unfolding live without effective international intervention, and that ending the violence in Gaza was essential for upholding human rights and supporting both regional and global security.

Antisemitism, the prejudice or discrimination against Jews, has had a long history since the ancient times. While antisemitism had already been prevalent in ancient Greece and Roman Empire, its institutionalization in European Christianity after the destruction of the ancient Jewish cultural center in Jerusalem caused two millennia of segregation, expulsions, persecutions, pogroms, genocides of Jews, which culminated in the 20th-century Holocaust in Nazi German-occupied European states, where 67% European Jews were murdered.

Antisemitic incidents escalated worldwide in frequency and intensity during the Gaza War, and were widely considered to be a wave of reprisal attacks in response to the conflict.

Anti-Palestinianism or anti-Palestinian racism refers to prejudice, collective hatred, and discrimination directed at the Palestinian people for any variety of reasons. Since the mid-20th century, the phenomenon has largely overlapped with anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians today are Arabs and Muslims. Historically, anti-Palestinianism was more closely identified with European antisemitism, as far-right Europeans detested the Jewish people as undesirable foreigners from Palestine. Modern anti-Palestinianism—that is, xenophobia or racism towards the Arabs of Palestine—is most common in Israel, the United States, Lebanon, and Germany, among other countries.

Israeli Immigration Minister Ofir Sofer has stated that Israel is bracing to expect a large wave of Jews migrating to Israel due to the rising antisemitism around the world.

The Jewish community of Makhachkala are Jews who have ever lived on the territory of modern Makhachkala, a city in the Russian Republic of Dagestan. During the Persian campaign in 1722 in Makhachkala was a camp for the troops of the Russian Emperor Peter I. Mountain Jews and Ashkenazi Jews were allowed to settle there.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Antisemitism at Columbia University</span>

Antisemitism at Columbia University was prevalent in the first half of the 20th century and has resurged in recent years. In the early 21st century, discourse surrounding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict would sometimes lead to accusations of antisemitism, but these individual controversies were typically isolated.

In the Netherlands, another type of shift seems to have taken place, not so much to the social media, but rather to everyday language: the word 'Jood' ('Jew') has become a common term of abuse. (...) The word 'Jew' is more and more often used as a term of abuse, within the context of football and beyond, especially in regions with football clubs whose fan bases are at odds with Ajax.

The report also demonstrates that soccer rivalries in and outside stadiums are a huge trigger for anti-Semitic agitation. Since the 1970s and 1980s, supporters of the Amsterdam soccer club Ajax have nicknamed themselves as "Jews." This Jewish identity is based on the historic (and largely inaccurate) perception of their club being rooted in the Jewish community. At first glance, the nickname seems harmless, as Ajax supporters claim to be proud of the so-called "Jewish" identity of the club and its fan base. However, supporters of rival clubs use this identity as a stick to attack the team. As a result, anti-Semitic lyrics that have nothing to do with soccer can be heard during every professional match. "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas," "Jews burn the best," "It's cold and stormy, throw some Jews on the fire," and "whoever does not jump is a Jew" are some of the slogans, part of a large repertoire of anti-Semitic slurs.
