Youths on scooters targeted Maccabi supporters in “hit and runs”

“I understand that it brings back memories of pogroms,” she said. “It is deeply damaging to the city”.

The mayor said that Maccabi supporters were not known to be violent and in football terms, the match was not considered high risk.

The counter-terrorism unit NCTV was unaware of any concrete threats, she said but said action would be needed to ensure there was no trouble, in particular given the combination of football and commemorations for Kristallnacht.

Never again is now: protest against Israeli president Herzog!

From Erev Rav:

„NEVER AGAIN IS NOW

We express our deep concern regarding the upcoming opening of the Dutch National Holocaust Museum, where Israeli president Yitzhak Herzog is scheduled to attend alongside Dutch king Willem-Alexander.

While we honor the memory of our ancestors who perished in the Holocaust and recognize the importance of preserving their memory, we cannot stand by silently while the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold.

We are organizing a peaceful protest moment during the opening ceremony of the National Holocaust Museum.

We as Jews deserve better than the instrumentalisation of our pain in order to justify an ongoing genocide!
