New riot in Amsterdam

Youth claiming solidarity with Palestinians attacked a tram in Amsterdam's suburb, setting it on fire, smashing windows and yelling abusive language.

This comes days after Israeli Maccabi fans in the Dutch capital for a football match provoked locals last week by chanting anti-Arab slogans, tearing down Palestinian flags and attacking some taxi drivers.

Some residents responded by attacking the Israeli football fans.
