Erev Rav said in its statement that the heavy presence of violent Israeli forces in Amsterdam during a football match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv raised concerns about attacks on their planned ceremony in the Dutch capital.

It rebuked Amsterdam police for failing to contain the insolent Israeli forces marching through Amsterdam, forcing the Jewish group to cancel their ceremony.

“The heavy presence of Zionist Israelis in the city w/intent of continuing acts of violence” means they “cannot guarantee the safety of speakers & attendees,” it added.

Maccabi faced Ajax Amsterdam on Thursday, where the Dutch side squashed the Israelis 5-nil.

The brutal Israeli forces deployed to Amsterdam in the guise of football fans, acted as hooligans wreaking two days of violence and chaos in the Dutch capital and inflicting heavy damage on it.

Upon arrival at the Dutch capital ahead of the match, videos posted online showed the so-called Israeli football fans marching through Amsterdam.

They intimidated the local Arab residents. In one video showing the violence, Israeli forces were heard singing, “Let the [Israeli army] win, and f*** the Arabs!” while another showed them tearing down a Palestinian flag from a building.

Dutch police arrested scores of the hooligans, prompting the Tel Aviv regime to dispatch 6 airplanes to return the Israeli forces to the occupied Palestinian territory.
