Amsterdam is struggling to shake off the unease following the violence provoked by followers of the Israeli soccer membership Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The visiting supporters burned Palestinian flags and abused folks of Arab descent, within the lead-up to their membership’s match in opposition to native giants Ajax.
The indignant backlash that adopted, and the official response to it, is elevating questions.
May the rioting have been foreseen and prevented?
Does the official response reveal deep-rooted racism and Islamophobia?
