Dutch prosecutors quietly dropped all charges on June 16 against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, who attacked Muslim women and pro-#Palestine demonstrators in Amsterdam last November. Authorities claimed CCTV footage from the incidents had been erased and said they were “unable to identify” the perpetrators.

HRF had filed the original complaint on November 9, 2024, detailing a spree of hate crimes and public violence by Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters between November 5–8. The attacks included stoning a home with a Palestinian flag, assaulting a Palestinian taxi driver, attacking peaceful demonstrators, and chanting glorifications of the Israeli army and calls for murder and #rape of #Arabs.

Despite video evidence, eyewitness accounts, and even the prosecutor admitting that one group chant met the standard for criminal insult under #Dutch law, authorities declined to proceed with charges.

HRF accused the Dutch Public Prosecutor of applying double standards, noting how quickly police surveil and prosecute pro-Palestine demonstrators, while failing to act against a pro-Israel mob. “This is not a failure of capacity, but of political will,” the statement read.

There are protests everywhere, including here in #Belgium. On Sunday (11 May), tens of thousands of Belgians took to the streets in #Brussels to demand an end to the blockade and the war on #Gaza.

A week later, on 18 May, a hundred thousand #Dutch people held a march through The Hague with the same demands.

Geert Wilders wrote on X: "Today demo in Dhaag against Israel + for Hamas. Thousands of confused people draw a red line. I also draw a red line. Against terror and starving their own people by Hamas and for maximum destruction of their murderous infrastructure. And for Israel."
So the rest of the world sees this differently.

...For about a week now, we have been reading increasing criticism of Israeli and US policy in #US newspapers. #France, the #UK and #Canada are suddenly threatening concrete action if Israel continues the blockade and war. Belgian rectors took the lead with the joint demand to suspend the #European Association Agreement with Israel.

Many will feel that all this does not go far enough. Indeed, that resolution can be criticised.

The decision by the European Foreign Affairs Council to first "investigate" whether or not Israel is in compliance with human rights before it wants to review the association agreement is also more than cynical.
