Israeli football fans were ambushed and some of them went missing Thursday evening in Amsterdam in the aftermath of a match between FC Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent two emergency flights to evacuate Israelis from the Dutch city as observers worldwide concurred on the use of the word “Pogrom,” which historically refers to an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group, particularly that of Jewish people in Russia or eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
