Last November, a soccer match in Amsterdam involving a visiting Israeli team ended in a pogrom when Israeli fans and other Jews were violently attacked after the match by Jew-hating thugs, mostly, if not all from Middle Eastern backgrounds.
Today, a judge sentenced 4 of those charged to jail terms up to 12 weeks for their roles in the violence. The heaviest sentence was for a defendant identified only as Cenk D, for inciting violence and condoning the Holocaust in a WhatsApp posting.
In Israel, the light sentences were understandably greeted with disgust. The Times of Israel has a more detailed account with the first names of all of the defendants.

Even before the soccer match at the end of last year, unrest was growing in the city. After the match, violent incidents took place in the center of Amsterdam,. Fans of Maccabi were often the targets of violence. Israeli fans also misbehaved but were subsequently victims of a "Jew hunt", which led to shock in the Netherlands and internationally.
