The streets of Amsterdam are burning. We know this story in our bones. It has been told from mother to daughter since the 1st crusade: Pogrom. Slaughter. Run, Hide. But now the story ends differently. The IDF is on its way. Several thousand Israeli civilians, men, women and children flew to Amsterdam to see a basketball game between the Tel Aviv and Dutch teams. When leaving the stadium, they were ambushed by masked attackers with clubs and knives. The attacks beat them, threw them in the river, ran them over with cars. The attackers celebrated by burning the streets and throwing Molotov cocktails into the hotel rooms where Israelis families were hiding. The Dutch authorities were unable or unwilling to quell the violence. Dozens of Israelis are wounded and several are missing. As I said, we know this story. Just ask Anne Frank. Two IDF planes are already in the air to rescue our people and bring them home. We protect our own. This is what Zionism is. This is why we have a state.
