Lenient Sentences for Muslims Who Incited Amsterdam “Jew Hunt”
19th March 2025
Four Muslim men were convicted on Wednesday, March 19th for crimes committed during the horrific antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam in November last year.
The court was extremely lenient towards the perpetrators: the harshest sentence handed out was a 12-week stay in prison.
Three of the men were sentenced on charges of inciting violence in a WhatsApp messaging group, where they insulted Jews and shared information about the whereabouts of Israeli football supporters, who were in Amsterdam to see their club, Maccabi Tel Aviv play Ajax Amsterdam.
A fourth man was found guilty of committing violence in public, after chasing an Israeli supporter through the streets of Amsterdam.
As the court heard, participants in the WhatsApp group encouraged each other to “hunt down Jews.”
