Amsterdam Pogrom. Arabs Planned "Oct 7 Like" Ambush ... Police Do Nothing! Zionists Sending Rescue Planes

 


Hundreds of fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team reported that they were attacked overnight Thursday by Arabs in Amsterdam, as they left the stadium following Maccabi’s game against AFC Ajax.

The fans testified that an ambush had been prepared for them in advance at various points outside the stadium.

Disturbing footage from the city, which was posted to social media, fans are seen being violently attacked, beaten and even run over. One of the fans was forced to say "Free Palestine" before he was let go. Some of the fans barricaded themselves in shops and other places in the city. 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that ten fans were injured and that two people are unaccounted for, and efforts to get in touch with them are ongoing.

An Israeli who witnessed the goings on told Kan 11 News, "They waited in groups at every corner, and as soon as they recognized Jews - they started chasing them. Others waited near hotels and near the casino in larger groups, and there they also attacked fans. Then others drove by with cars and did not stop honking near hotels in which Israelis are staying."

"The police were not present at the conclusion of the games, and Muslims were waiting near train stations for Israeli fans and followed them," said another Israeli. "The police only started to intervene after about  45 minutes into the attacks, after the attackers threw firecrackers at people and into buildings."

A spokesperson for Amsterdam police said that 57 suspects have been arrested during the incidents, but could not confirm if those arrested are soccer fans. The reasons for the arrests, according to the police: Violation of public order and possession of fireworks.

The Prime Minister's Office stated that "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been informed of the details regarding the very violent incident against Israeli citizens in Amsterdam, held an assessment with his Military Secretary and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and is receiving regular updates.”

“The Prime Minister has directed that two rescue planes be sent immediately to assist our citizens. The harsh pictures of the assault on our citizens in Amsterdam will not be overlooked.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu views the horrifying incident with utmost gravity and demands that the Dutch government and security forces take vigorous and swift action against the rioters, and ensure the safety of our citizens."

The National Security Council told the Israeli public currently in Amsterdam to refrain from moving in the street and remain in their hotel rooms, avoid externalizing Israeli and Jewish symbols, and inform the local police immediately of any unusual incident.

The NSC recommends that those who can move up their flight back to Israel do so.

Incoming Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar commented on the situation and wrote on X, "We are in contact with the authorities in the Netherlands about the serious events there. Any Israeli or Jew who is currently in distress or has information and location about a violent event that is currently taking place - please contact the emergency hotline: 0097225303155."

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit stated, “Following the severe and violent incidents against Israelis in Amsterdam, with the direction of the political echelon, and in accordance with a situational assessment, the IDF is preparing to immediately deploy a rescue mission with the coordination of the Dutch government.”

The mission will be deployed using cargo aircraft and include medical and rescue teams. The IDF Homefront Command will lead the rescue mission with the cooperation of various IDF directorates, branches, and Israeli security authorities.

MK Almog Cohen (Otzma Yehudit) said that he spoke with Israel's Ambassador to the Netherlands, Ephraim Modi, who informed him that many police forces had been sent to the scenes of the violence.

"I call on the fans to stay in safe places and avoid risking their lives," Cohen wrote.

Both Hochul and AG Letitia James Get Totally Unhinged! ‘We are prepared to fight back’ in ‘dumb and bizarre’ press Conference

 

So much for the honeymoon.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James treated President-elect Donald Trump as the enemy in a divisive post-election press conference Wednesday.

A defiant Hochul announced she formed an “Empire State Freedom Initiative” to prepare to fight “policy and regulatory threats” from the incoming Trump administration.

The Democratic governor said she’s prepared to work with Trump, but spent much of her time talking about readying for political and legal war.

“You try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights, I will fight you every step of the way,” Hochul told reporters at her Manhattan office.

She spoke of potential spats with Trump over abortion, labor, LGBTQ rights, environmental policy and immigration. 

Kamala Harris tells supporters it’s ‘going to be OK’ after blowout election loss, casts herself as Democratic leader in defiant concession speech

 

Vice President Kamala Harris finally conceded her blowout election loss to former President Donald Trump Wednesday — consoling supporters and saying she would “never give up the fight” despite accepting the outcome.

“To the young people who are watching, it is OK to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it’s going to be OK,” Harris, 60, said in late afternoon remarks on the campus of Howard University, her alma mater — hours after calling Trump, 78, to offer congratulations.

“On the campaign, I would often say, ‘When we fight, we win.’ But here’s the thing: Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win.”

“The important thing is, don’t ever give up,” the veep went on.

“Don’t ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power and don’t you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.”

Donald Trump’s Transition Starts Now. Here’s How It Will Work

 

Donald Trump ‘s impending return to the White House means he’ll want to stand up an entirely new administration from the one that served under President Joe Biden. His team is also pledging that the second won’t look much like the first one Trump established after his 2016 victory.

The president-elect now has a 75-day transition period to build out his team before Inauguration Day arrives on Jan. 20. One top item on the to-do list: filling around 4,000 government positions with political appointees, people who are specifically tapped for their jobs by Trump’s team.

That includes everyone from the secretary of state and other heads of Cabinet departments to those selected to serve part time on boards and commissions. Around 1,200 of those presidential appointments require Senate confirmation, which should be easier with the Senate now shifting to Republican control.

Here’s what to expect:

What will the transition look like?

Scott Jennings Explains to CNN that this election was Revenge Against the Media

 

Scott Jennings emphasized the significance of the election results, noting that the Trump has won the national popular vote, which is a major achievement. Jennings highlighted that this victory represents something much deeper than just a political win; it signifies the voice of the regular working-class American being heard.

In his interpretation, this is the “revenge” of the everyday American who has long felt ignored, crushed, insulted, and condescended to by the political elite. Jennings made it clear that these Americans are not to be dismissed or labeled with derogatory terms like “garbage” or “Nazis.” Instead, their voices reflect a growing frustration with the system that many feel has worked against them.
