In Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, on Sunday Nov. 10, police used force against demonstrators protesting against media bias and the scapegoating of pro-Palestinian supporters following the Ajax - Maccabi Tel Aviv match.
Despite a protest ban by Amsterdam city authorities, Palestinian supporters gathered at Dam Square at around 14:00 to denounce the media's portrayal of incidents allegedly initiated by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans as "anti-Semitism" and unfairly blaming Palestinians.
After warning the crowd that the rally was banned, police used batons to disperse the demonstrators, some of whom were reportedly injured. Before the intervention, protesters chanted "Free Palestine", "Shame on you, Netherlands, your hands are bloody", "People united" and "We will not be defeated".
