===November 2024 Amsterdam riots===
The [[November 2024 Amsterdam riots]] preceding and following the [[AFC Ajax]] - [[Maccabi Tel Aviv]] football match were described by some as a "pogrom". Israeli diplomat [[Danny Danon]] stated that, "We are receiving very disturbing reports of extreme violence against Israelis and Jews on the streets of [[Holland (country)|Holland]]. There is a pogrom currently taking place in Europe in 2024".<ref name="JNS 2024-11-08">{{Cite news |url=https://www.jns.org/netanyahu-sends-planes-to-amsterdam-to-rescue-jews-from-pogrom/ |title='Pogrom' in Amsterdam: Netanyahu sends planes to save Jews; 10 injured, 3 missing |publisher=Jewish News Service |date=8 November 2024}}</ref> The [[Mayor of Amsterdam]] later said that the word "pogrom" was inappropriate and that it had been misused as "propaganda".<ref>{{cite AV media |author=Owen Jones |title=Amsterdam Mayor: I REGRET Claiming Pogrom And Not Denouncing Tel Aviv Thugs' Violence |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H_ozYgHpoM&ab_channel=OwenJones |access-date=19 November 2024 |via=YouTube |date=18 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title='Amsterdam riots were not pogrom,' mayor says, defending Muslim population |url=https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-829656 |access-date=21 November 2024 |work=The Jerusalem Post |date=18 November 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Amsterdam Mayor admits 'Israeli football riots were not a pogrom' |url=https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241120-amsterdam-mayor-admits-israeli-football-riots-were-not-a-pogrom/ |access-date=21 November 2024 |work=Middle East Monitor |date=20 November 2024}}</ref> In the weeks after the event, the initial media coverage was widely criticized for misrepresenting the event.<ref>{{cite AV media |title=Amsterdam riots: what really happened {{!}} Media Watch |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ0MJr6v0bI&ab_channel=ABCNewsIn-depth |access-date=21 November 2024 |via=YouTube |publisher=ABC News |date=18 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media |title=Israeli Soccer Attacks: Amsterdam Photographer on What Really Happened |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjoQkPXA_us&list=TLPQMjExMTIwMjSR6ohstOylZw&index=6&ab_channel=Zeteo |access-date=21 November 2024 |via=YouTube |publisher=Zeteo News |date=12 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Racist Israeli Football Thugs RAMPAGE In Amsterdam -
