A Dutch criminal court on Wednesday sentenced four men behind the “Jew hunt” attack against Israeli soccer fans that rocked Amsterdam last November, though the lenient prison terms are drawing outrage from the Jewish community in Europe.
“The prison terms of the sentences are so mild that the Dutch legal system actually incentivizes the ‘Jew hunters’ for another round of hunting,” an Israeli-dutch parliamentarian, Gidi Markuszower, said in response to the sentences. “It’s very clear that mainstream media and mainly politicians from the left are more comfortable providing cover for their fellow antisemites than protecting the Jews here in the Netherlands.”
