This is silly. They were attacking Jews on the streets. What were they trying to do, if not “cause fear”?
“Suspects behind Amsterdam attacks on Israeli soccer fans won’t be charged with terrorism,” by Zev Stub, Times of Israel, December 8, 2024:
Prosecutors have ruled out terrorism charges in connection with last month’s violence during the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer match in Amsterdam, Dutch Chief Prosecutor René de Beukelaer tells television station AT5.
Seven suspects are set to appear in court this week in connection with the violence against the Israeli soccer fans. “While some will be charged with antisemitism, Beukelaer says that “from a legal standpoint, there was no terrorism involved,” as it requires an intention to instill fear in a specific group.
The suspects seem to have acted out of “anger, frustration, and sadness over the situation in Israel and Gaza,” but not a desire to cause fear, he says….
Amsterdam’s mayor Femkle [sic] Halsema initially described the attacks as a “pogrom,” but later retracted her use of the word, saying that it had been used “in order to discriminate against Moroccan, Muslim residents.”…

Sure they “wanted to cause fear.” Beyond that, they wanted to injure and perhaps even murder, those in whom they were ‘instilling fear,’ those whom they were ‘terrorizing.’
In this present time, ‘justice,’ is skewed. In NYC, a young man who stepped in to protect some innocent people, was tried for homicide (acquitted) because the one threatening to ‘kill’ someone, died. He was charged with knowingly killing the guy.
Thankfully, the jury saw through the ‘bragg” charade and set Mr. Penny free.
And in Amsterdam now the perps are not charged ‘because they acted in anger’ but…”lie, lie, lie” about their full intent.
There was an abundance of intent to ‘instill fear’ and to injure, perhaps murder innocent Jews. But Justice is skewed there and in many many other places

Yes, yes…I imagine the same can be said of the Third Reich’s minor incursion into Holland in 1940.

The West denies reality of Islam and its Muslims. These are 100% terrorists against ALL Non-Muslims. Moreover, Islam is a deceitful, totalitarian, terrorist, pedophilic Criminal Gang Enterprise against all Non-Muslims by using discrimination, deception, rape, hatred, and violence to gain ultimate power and control as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran. Moreover, Islam’s supremacist-genocidal Ideology, its tyrannical Muslims, its propaganda Schools, its foreign terrorist Organizations, and its ‘Convert-or-Die’ Mosques fund, teach, inspire, and promote ‘Threats and Incitement of Violence’ as well as never-ending terrorism, loathing, and segregation against women, children, and all Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 2:191-3; 4:89,100; 5:14,82; 8:65; 9:5,14-15,29; 33:26; 47:4; 65:4; 98:6-7 and more).

Billy, tell us what you really think.
MD Anthony says
This is the same reaction the Dutch provided when the WWII Dutch people would beat up jewsi
Yeah they don’t like that part of their history.
Why did so many Dutch emigrated to get out to Canada after WWII?
After the war it was Pay Back Time and the Dutch (Nazi Sympathizers) had to get out or wish they had.

Suckers, Islam has you by the gonads.

It seems that the Dutch judiciary (verdomde verraders) would rather knee-cap themselves so as not to offend Islam and hurt the feelings of the Muslim pogromers.

Jackboots marching through Europe again. The Socialist Fascists never went away. Who said the NAZIs were beaten.

Apart from the direct Jihad being waged by Muslims against western civilization, I believe there is another Jihad that is largely invisible, except to those of us who are already aware of Islam.
That Jihad is by Leftists who directly or indirectly assist Muslims in their goals. I’m talking about weak, traitorous judges, politicians, people in the media, etc.
They might not even be aware they’re helping the Jihad…most of them are just hiding their own fear/cowardice or treason as being “objective” or ‘hearing both sides’ or they see the Right as being the root cause…and they think by giving Muslims everything they want, then they’ll leave them alone.
We see this insane thinking to this day in places like Israel which is like the West in a microcosm. There are morons there who think if they sacrifice Netanyahu, give them more land, ignore Iran, that their enemies will be placated.
We’re going to have to fight tooth and nail not just against the actual Muslim-Nazis, but their enablers like the mayor of Amsterdam who sides with team Hamas…which is why she did nothing while Jews where being beaten on her streets.
This ‘Left-Jihad’ is more dangerous in a way because we don’t see it. It’s the same people who threw Tommy Robinson in jail for speaking out against the corruption in his country and also jailed Brits for ‘hurty words’ on social media…at the same time they let rapists/terrorists get light sentences or walk free.
There are two enemies we’re fighting and we have to be aware while we’re dealing with Islam head on, the Left is always read to stab us in the back. By ‘Left’ I include anyone who sides with Islam, sometimes it can be traitors on the Right too…but most tend to be Lefty-loons.

Hear, hear to anyone who brings attention to Tommy Robinson’s heroism.

Very insightful comment from you , Soda , thank you !

“There are two enemies we’re fighting and we have to be aware while we’re dealing with Islam head on, the Left is always read to stab us in the back.”
You’re right, and it is sometimes known as the Red-Green alliance.
Without the support from the Left, islam could be effectively marginalized – with its followers required to obey ALL the laws of Western countries.
Still better not to allow muslims into Western nations to begin with.
Hoi Polloi says
Hurty words are enough for prison terms in the UK, unless you’re muslim. It appears the same people got to those Dutchmen.

HP, it’s kind of like one of those movies from years back where some greedy fool steals a vial of some lethal stuff, spills it, gets on a plane and flies here and there and coughs in a lot of faces along the way.
The people whose faces in which he coughs, do their own traveling and coughing and soon….islam is everywhere, infecting a lot of people who have no clue about the deadly evils which have touched them.
soda says
Indeed SH, Islam is definitely a mind-virus…in ways more deadly than the plague. Islam has killed 270 million people over 1400 years…and they continue to do so in genocides nobody notices or cares about in the mideast and africa today.
They will care once the Muslims and their supporters in the West start doing the same things to us on our streets.
Our only advantage is that they are weak militarily and right now their numbers are small. But I used to give too much credit to the West before…I thought we’d wake up sooner and Muslims will be tossed off like water on a duck’s back.
And while there are smart people at the top, sounding the alarm, too few are listening. I’m sure it’s the same situation as it was for Germans in the 1930s…some of them did oppose the Nazis and warned what they’d bring but it was too late to stop them politically/peacefully and ofc we got WW3.
I suspect the same might happen with Islam. While some nations like Poland know what’s coming and wisely kept the Muslims out, most of the West still hasn’t ‘woken up’ and we might end up learning the hard way. Some nations are electing right-wing, anti-Islam parties, but I don’t know if it’ll be enough.
For me, calls to ban Islam and actually deporting millions of Muslims is what will be required to avoid either WW3 or even worse, Islamification. Anything less than a direct fight back will mean we’re headed for more serious problems…even worse if the Muslim population keeps increasing unchecked.
The next 10-20 years will be crucial for our survival and our civilization. I don’t see a real turning point yet but hopefully there will be one soon.
soda says
Definitely Hoi, a two-tiered system…they treat Muslims as our overlords for no good reason…simply that they fear the Muslim mobs in the streets and think they’ll burn down their cities…forgetting that our side has the police/military and other state powers to crush the terrorists…but they chose surrender instead.
It would also be interesting to find out how many elites in the UK have been bought by rich Arabs…and when I mean rich, they’re trillionaires…millions and billions mean nothing to them. They’ve bought off top universities in the West…so I wouldn’t be surprised if they have many western politicians in their pockets too…together they’ll destroy civilization and/or Islamify it.
somehistory says
‘islamifing’ it would be the same as destroying it. Because there is nothing ‘civil” about islam.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes to both of you. I’ve watched video of Western converts and it’s clear muslims prey on those ignorant of their own culture (those and pedos) as the coverts recite the indoctrination with nary a single critical thought evident. Clearly, the culture wars work in islam’s favor.

Im so glad I knew Amsterdam in the early 1970s when it was a truly magical wonderful City.
