European and world leaders strongly condemned the antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam late Tuesday night, which King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands said were reminiscent of 'dark and grim times for the Jewish people.' At least 10 Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were injured in an apparently organized, widespread attack by anti-Israel rioters -- apparently Muslims and Arabs -- in Amsterdam on Thursday night. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof denounced the 'unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis.' The mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, said the violence represented an 'explosion' of antisemitism that has 'not been seen in a long time.'
