Anti-Israel protesters started a fire inside a tram car in Amsterdam on Nov. 11, and riot police were called to disperse them, days after Israeli soccer fans were attacked in the Dutch capital. Video circulating on social media showed rioters throwing sticks and debris and hurling stones at a stopped tram car. The protesters appeared to be yelling “Free Palestine” and “Cancer Jews,” according to videos from the scene. At one point, smoke in the tram can be seen, and fireworks exploded inside the car, starting a fire.

The previous week, Amsterdam authorities declared a state of emergency — during which all protests are banned — after locals attacked Israelis who were in the city for a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax, a major Dutch club. At least 10 Israelis reported injuries, and five were hospitalized from the targeted beatings, many of which were recorded and posted to social media by the assailants. The Dutch police arrested 65 people in connection with the attacks.

Tension had been high in the city prior to the attacks. Pro-Palestinian groups carried out a series of protests. Maccabi fans tore down Palestinian flags.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             New York Times photo
