Dutch prosecutors revealed that none of the 62 individuals detained during Thursday’s Ajax—Maccabi Tel Aviv match were involved in the subsequent attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, which has been characterized as an Islamist “Jew hunt.”
Officials disclosed that all arrests occurred during the game itself, with 40 individuals receiving fines before being released. Shockingly, no arrests have been made regarding the post-match violence that left 25 Israeli fans attacked and five hospitalized, according to De Telegraaf.

Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-mass migration Party for Freedom (PVV), expressed his dismay on X: “I am speechless. Amsterdam Police just confirmed that NO ONE has been arrested during the Islamic Jewhunt in Amsterdam Thursday night. All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and NOT during the pogrom.”
Law enforcement reported that taxi drivers participated in hit-and-run attacks on Jewish individuals, while others utilized scooters for quick escapes.
Mayor Femke Halsema addressed the situation Friday, stating: “Boys on scooters were driving through the town looking for supporters, it was hit and run, football fans were attacked and then the rioters took off again, running away from the police forces who were there in great numbers and I do understand this reminds us of Pogroms, and that this has happened in Amsterdam is reprehensible.”
She continued: “Not only were people injured last night but our history the history of our city, our city, has been deeply damaged. The Jewish culture has been threatened. And they are all part of this city for centuries. Jewish people in Amsterdam have always enriched our culture, and yesterday Kristallnacht — the night of broken glass — was remembered.”
While reports suggest many attackers were “Moroccan-Dutch,” this remains unconfirmed without arrests. Police are investigating whether the attacks were pre-planned.
Halsema, maintaining her position despite calls to resign, attributed the “terrible antisemitic outburst” to Middle East tensions.
Europe has witnessed a surge in antisemitic incidents since October 7th’s terror attacks on Israel, prompting governments to reconsider open borders policies amid rising Islamist terror threats.
Wilders, now influential in Dutch government following his November election victory, called for deportation of those involved in the “pogrom.”

“Condemning the Amsterdam Jew hunt is not enough,” he declared. “The perpetrators must be expelled from the country. I have been warning for over twenty years about the growing hatred of Jews in the Netherlands due to the ongoing mass immigration and Islamization of our country… Perpetrators out of the country.”
