TEL AVIV: In the Netherlands, they issued an ultimatum to the attackers: turn yourself in by Friday, or we will expose your face. Another 24 are being investigated for the violence. Amsterdam police have released photos of the five main suspects in the "Jew hunt" that took place last Thursday night, during which Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and other tourists were brutally attacked.
The images were blurred to give the suspects a chance to turn themselves in, with police stating that if they fail to do so, their faces will be revealed to the public this Friday evening.
The five whose photos were circulated, ranging in age from 18 to 37, are considered to have committed the most serious acts of violence in the pogrom, but there are 24 more suspects and the Netherlands clarifies that their photos will also be published "in the near term."
Meanwhile, Amsterdam continues to be unquiet, and last Monday a police car and a light rail car were set on fire, with some of the rioters shouting "Free Palestine."
Yesterday, the Dutch media published an outrageous column by a local writer, who claimed that "Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were not beaten because they are Jews. This is not anti-Semitism, it has nothing to do with the Jews. This story perpetuates Israel's attitude: it is always the victim."
