Amsterdam is the capital of European liberalism.

The red light district situated in the center of a major city along with the marijuana cafes provide ample entertainment for all comers from the globe and it is a place which the author knows quite well.

But something took place out there that would disabuse the extraordinary naivete of millions across the world.

On Thursday, Dutch giants, Ajax Amsterdam hosted a match against Maccabi Tel-Aviv— a leading Israeli club side which is very well known for its ultra right wing supporters.

And long before the football started, the visitors took the liberty of roaming the city, chanting racial abuse and tearing off Palestinian flags from people’s houses.

And when they got to the stadium, they carried on with their bad behaviour, failing to observe a minute’s silence in recognition of those who perished in the Valencia flooding.

Once the match was over, they swarmed the streets of Amsterdam to carry on where they left off, only to find that the natives weren’t going to let matters lie.
