Paris Deploys over 4,000 Police to France-Israel Soccer Match after Pogroms Against Jews in Amsterdam

Can the Jews really count on the French police? The Dutch police supported the Muslim Jew haters.

The last time so many Jews were in a stadium in Paris was Vélodrome d’Hiver.

Following the roundup of Jews in greater Paris, some 7,000 Jews, among them 4,000 children, were crowded together in the sports arena. It was biggest such mass arrest in France during the second world war. In increasingly desperate conditions they awaited shipment to the death camps in eastern Europe.

There was scarcely space to lie down and the incarcerated Jews faced appalling circumstances. No arrangements had been made for food, water, or sanitary facilities. The glass ceiling of the arena contributed to a stifling environment by day, as all ventilation had been sealed to prevent escape.

Ultimately they were shipped by railway transports to Auschwitz for extermination. (read the rest here.)

Paris Deploys over 4,000 Police to France-Israel Soccer Match after Antisemitic Attacks in Amsterdam

PARIS (AP) – Paris police said Sunday that 4,000 officers and 1,600 stadium staff will be deployed for a France-Israel soccer match to ensure security in and around the stadium and on public transportation a week after violence against Israeli fans in Amsterdam.

France and Israel are playing in a UEFA Nations League match on Thursday.

“There’s a context, tensions that make that match a high-risk event for us,” Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez said on French news broadcaster BFM TV, adding authorities “won’t tolerate” any violence.

Nuñez said that 2,500 police officers would be deployed around the Stade de France stadium, north of the French capital, in addition to 1,500 others in Paris and on public transportation.

“There will be an anti-terrorist security perimeter around the stadium,” Nuñez said. Security checks will be “reinforced,” he added, including with systematic pat-downs and bag searches.

Nuñez said that French organizers have been in contact with Israeli authorities and security forces in order to prepare for the match.

Israeli fans were assaulted last week after a soccer game in Amsterdam by hordes of young people apparently riled up by calls on social media to target Jewish people, according to Dutch authorities. Five people were treated at hospitals and dozens were arrested after the attacks, which were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Amsterdam, Israel and across Europe.

On Sunday, Dutch police detained several people for taking part in a demonstration in central Amsterdam that had been outlawed following the violence targeting Israeli fans, a local broadcaster reported.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau confirmed Friday that the France-Israel match would go ahead as planned.

“I think that for a symbolic reason we must not yield, we must not give up,” he said, noting that sports fans from around the world came together for the Paris Olympics this year to celebrate the “universal values” of sports.
