(Times of Israel) A criminal court in Amsterdam on Wednesday sentenced four perpetrators of a “Jew hunt” in November to prison terms ranging from 11 days to three months. The four defendants were part of a group of as many as several hundred rioters who attacked Israeli supporters of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club after its match against local club Ajax on November 7.
In response to the sentences, Gidi Markuszower, a Jewish parliamentarian for Geert Wilders’s right-wing, pro-Israel Freedom Party, said of the prosecutors and judges: “They made one thing very clear: ‘Dutch Jews, you can run, but you can’t hide.’”
The “hit-and-run”-style attacks lasted through the early hours of November 8, leaving 10 injured, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry, while hundreds were unable to emerge from their hotels.
