Thousands of rioters took to the streets in the Netherlands and London after France's quarterfinal win over Morocco, shouting antisemitic slogans including 'Hamas Hamas, Jews to the gas,' according to reports. A police officer was injured in London. The unrest follows earlier protests and clashes linked to Morocco's World Cup matches.
France defeated Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinal last night, triggering a fresh wave of violent unrest across Dutch cities and in London. Thousands of rioters took to the streets, with reports of antisemitic chants including 'Hamas Hamas, Jews to the gas.' A police officer in London was injured and hospitalized.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded a building in the Netherlands where Israeli nationals were staying following Morocco's elimination. A separate earlier bulletin detailed a police officer injured by fireworks during London riots linked to the same match.
The unrest fits a pattern documented throughout Morocco's World Cup run: celebrations and riots in European cities, often accompanied by antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiment. The Netherlands has seen multiple incidents over the past month, with Moroccan migrants clashing with police after victories and defeats.
