Video footage circulating on social media shows hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounding a building in the Netherlands where Israeli nationals were staying, following Morocco's defeat in the World Cup. The incident is the latest in a series of antisemitic and anti-Israel incidents linked to Morocco's World Cup matches in the Netherlands, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
Video footage posted on Instagram shows hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounding a building in the Netherlands where Israeli nationals were staying, following Morocco's World Cup defeat. The footage, which was circulating early Friday morning, appears to capture a tense scene in which the protesters blocked the building's entrance. It is not yet clear whether any injuries occurred or if police intervened.
The incident comes amid a series of disturbances linked to Morocco's World Cup matches in the Netherlands. Earlier this week, The Zioneer reported on migrant riots after Morocco's victory over the Netherlands, as well as video documenting Moroccan fans chanting antisemitic slogans such as 'Return Jews to the gas chambers.' The current event appears to be the first large-scale harassment of Israelis specifically following Morocco's loss, rather than in celebration of a win.
