The events of last November, when violent and racist Maccabi supporters came to Amsterdam, have been a boon to the far-right. Rarely have events been framed as rapidly as they were when the governments of the Netherlands, Israel, and even the United States have framed them. By now, we know the situation was much different.  

The Dutch government, meanwhile, has taken these events as their reason to crack down on Palestine demonstrations and civil rights and to increase their Islamophobic rhetoric. So what happened? How do we respond to this wave of hate that followed? How has this response affected Muslims and pro-Palestinians in Amsterdam?

Join our conversation on Islamophobia, the right to protest, and what really happened in Amsterdam (speakers TBA).
