The attacks on Israeli fans after a football match in Amsterdam last week were a combination of "anti-Semitism" with hooliganism on both sides, the city's mayor Femke Halsema says. "Jewish Israeli supporters were guests in our city, and they were sought, hunted and attacked," Halsema states, "but Amsterdammers were also attacked by Maccabi hooligans who chanted racist and hateful slogans" and were "guilty of vandalism," she adds. Halsema's comments come at an emergency meeting of the Amsterdam City Council days after the Dutch capital was rocked by violence between Israeli football fans and men on scooters in several areas of the city.
