Last week in Amsterdam soccer turned into chaos when Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters faced attacks after their match with Ajax. Multiple hit-and-run incidents left five people in hospitals while police caught more than 60 trouble-makers (ten stayed in custody)
What happened last night has nothing to do with protest. There is no excuse for what happened
The citys response was quick: authorities banned pro-Palestinian demos for 3 days; gave cops extra search powers‚ and Dick Schoof - Dutch PM showed deep worry about these anti-jewish attacks. Gideon Saar Israels Foreign Minister plans an un-scheduled trip to talk about this mess
Next week brings different global issues: COP29 climate-talks start in Baku but its already full of problems. The head of meeting Elnur Soltanov got caught on video talking about oil deals which made eco-experts un-happy
China made big money-moves with their new 1‚4-trillion plan to help fix their after-covid economy. They want local areas to pay less interest on debts but theres a catch - Donald Trump winning US vote might mean higher taxes for Chinese stuff by early-25
Down in Mozambique things got real bad since Oct-9 vote. At least 21 people died in fights between cops and people who dont like how Daniel Chapo and his Frelimo party won (they run things since mid-70s)
