after the violence in Amsterdam, the head of Crif denounces “mass anti-Semitic lynchings”

The president of Crif Yonathan Arfi denounced this morning on RMC “mass anti-Semitic lynchings” after the attacks on numerous Israeli supporters this Thursday in Amsterdam, on the sidelines of a European Cup match. “Supporters were chased through the streets of Amsterdam, not only because they are Israelis but because we saw the crassest anti-Semitism resurface. This is where we are today with the exploitation of the conflict in Gaza by activists, which allows us to justify the most sordid hatred”. And Yonathan Arfi ensures that “all this was predictable”.
