BREAKING: Amsterdam Mayor regrets calling what happened in Amsterdam a “pogrom”, saying “we were completely overtaken by Israel”: “In hindsight, I should not have used the word ‘pogrom.’… We were completely overtaken by Israel. At 3 am, Prime Minister Netanyahu suddenly gave a lecture about what had happened in Amsterdam, while we were still gathering the facts.” “The Israeli government spoke of a ‘Palestinian pogrom on the streets of Amsterdam,’ and in The Hague, the words were used to discriminate against Moroccan Amsterdammers, Muslims. That is not what I meant or what I wanted.” “I saw how the word 'pogrom' became very political and turned into propaganda."
