A court in the Netherlands on Tuesday found five men guilty of brawling and inciting violence against Israeli football fans after a match in Amsterdam last month, which sparked accusations of anti-Semitism.

The Amsterdam district court on Tuesday found the men guilty of a range of crimes from kicking Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in the street to inciting violence in chat groups.

Police arrested 62 people and five people were taken to hospital following the skirmishes on the streets. Prosecutors told the court the beatings had little to do with football. The violence, they insisted, was not anti-Semitic, as claimed by Israel and other observers.

"The violence was influenced by the situation in Gaza, not by anti-Semitism," said the prosecutor, referring to Israel’s war against Hamas.

The attacks followed two days of skirmishes in which Maccabi fans chanted anti-Arab songs, vandalised a taxi and burned a Palestinian flag. Police said they were investigating at least 45 people, including fans of the Israeli club.

And the violent Zionist thugs get to go home safely after getting media attention as imaginary victims after they started the violence with Islamophobic attacks on Dutch citizens.

There is no justice in this world.

Beating an arab taxi driver and ripping down flags is okay though! At this point it should be shoot on sight for any 'israelis', they are the scum of the earth and should be properly disposed of.
