ME grijpt in bij onrust in Den Haag, Rotterdam en Amsterdam

Dutch riot police moved into The Hague's Schilderswijk overnight after Morocco's 2-0 World Cup quarterfinal loss to France, as groups around Vaillantlaan and Hoefkade threw glass bottles at police and antisemitic chants were heard. Multiple reports cited the Dutch-language slogan 'Alle joden zijn homo's' during the unrest; one local report also described antisemitic songs and homophobic insults as police ordered people to leave. The disturbances spread beyond The Hague, with riot-police action reported in Rotterdam and Amsterdam after supporters remained in the streets. Reports said streets later quieted after riot police dispersed crowds and several arrests were reported.
