The police in Amsterdam arrested 154 soccer fans for singing antisemitic chants on the train while on the way to a match on Saturday, the authorities said, the latest in a series of bigoted public displays in the country.
The police said that the supporters continued the songs and chants even after being told to stop, and then were arrested on charges that included insulting a group of people because of their race, religion or conviction.
Those arrested were supporters of AZ Alkmaar, a team from a town about a 40-minute drive northwest of Amsterdam, the capital. They were going to see their team play Ajax, a club with roots in a historically Jewish area of the city.
***This is far from the first case of antisemitism in Dutch soccer, particularly directed at the Amsterdam team.
“It’s a stubborn problem,” said Naomi Mestrum, the director of the Center for Information and Documentation Israel (CIDI), a Dutch organization that combats antisemitism....
Though Ajax doesn’t currently have Jewish players, and it was not founded as a Jewish club, emblems of Jewish identity have long been associated with the Amsterdam team, which has had some notable Jewish players and officials. Israeli flags are often seen during matches, and are also for sale outside the stadium. Die-hard fans — even those who aren’t Jewish — wear Star of David necklaces in support of the club.
*** Saturday’s arrests came two days after the Netherlands’ national day of remembrance, which commemorates Dutch victims of war, including those who were killed during the Holocaust and World War II as a whole.
***vIn December 2022, the Dutch government announced a plan to combat antisemitism in the Netherlands to show that the country takes the problem seriously.

Good point.
Amsterdam doesn’t care much about free speech, do they?
Would FR allow it?
I don’t like that they engaged in antisemitic chants, but the difference is FR isn’t a federal government.
They needed Tottenham Hotspur’s “Yid Army” to show up.
Then there would no doubt be two groups of people to have to arrest.
Muslims don’t allow freedom in their own countries, so why should we allow them freedom in ours? Kick them completely out is my solution.
FR is not a democracy, but a forum with terms of service. Holland purportedly is. There should have been two groups of chanters, one chanting “death to the Jooos!” in Arabic, and the other chanting “Bash Islam and make the news,” or something, until a riot broke out and a few people got killed. Now THAT’s democracy;D
The Dutch very much resemble Americans — They suck up very much to muzzies.
Fire up a Koran and see their response. This litmus test would surely sort the wheat from the chaff.
Nope. They will put you in timeout. Lolz
How quickly some forget
Is that your final solution?
Very clever. You must know however that Muslims praise Hitler since he killed so many Jews.
The Grand Mufti o Jeruselam was a friend and supporter of Hitler.
Should we let them eat cake or make them eat pork?
Islam is represented by these morons.
