Wilders Calls for Deportation After Amsterdam Violence

The recent antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam have sparked a fierce parliamentary debate, with right-wing leader Geert Wilders calling for the deportation of perpetrators, particularly targeting dual citizens of Moroccan descent. Wilders described the violence as a 'hunt on Jews,' invoking historical parallels to Nazi Germany and demanding harsher penalties for those involved. His remarks were met with criticism from opposition lawmakers, who accused him of exacerbating tensions. Following the soccer match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, violence erupted, resulting in injuries to at least 25 individuals, with several hospitalized. The attacks have raised alarms about rising antisemitism in Europe, particularly amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Prime Minister Dick Schoof acknowledged the issue and indicated plans to address the antisemitism problem in Dutch society.
