Amsterdam

Amsterdam is in the news. I've actually been to Amsterdam but it was long ago, on my family's one trip to Europe in 1976. What I recall ... the houseboats, the Heineken museum, and especially the Rijksmuseum ...

- The Night Watch by Rembrandt van Rijn

But I digress.

People in the press have been noting the history of Amsterdam's mistreatment of Jewish people before and during WWII (Kristallnacht, Anne Frank), and connecting that to this recent attack.

But the attack after the game does not seem to have been by right-wing Dutch people (neo-nazis). The attacks were carried out by pro-Palestinian Middle Eastern immigrants living in Amsterdam. I guess it's not politic to mention that, but it is relevant.
