Israeli football supporters and Dutch youth clash near Amsterdam Central station, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, AFP
Violence flared in Amsterdam on 7 November evening after the Europa League football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and home team Ajax, which won 5-0.
Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanting racist slurs against Arabs and Palestinians, and climbing on a building to tear down a Palestinian flag on display.
"Let the Israeli army win to F**k the Arabs!" they chanted.
"There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left."
Social media users noted that the videos of the genocidal diatribe were captured before the clashes started.
Elsewhere, Israeli fans chanted "F**K Palestine."
Footage from the stadium, before the match started, show Maccabe Tel Aviv fans jeered and refused to observe a moment of Silence for the victims of the recent deadly floods in Valencia in an apparent jibe at the government in Madrid, which has been outspoken in condemning the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
Dutch broadcaster NOS also reported that a Palestinian flag was ripped off a building in the centre of the city, and riot police blocked pro-Palestinian supporters trying to march toward the Johan Cruyff Arena stadium where the match was being played, according to AP.
Prosecutors have called for a range of sentences between two years and one month over a series of alleged crimes from kicking Israeli fans to inciting violence in chat groups, AFP said.
The longest requested sentence of two years is for a 32-year-old identified as Sefa O., who prosecutors said played a "leading role" in the violence.
The court saw images of a man alleged to be O. kicking a person on the ground, chasing targets, and punching people in the head and the body, AFFP added.
The prosecutor said the beatings had "little to do with football" but added that "in this case, there was no evidence of... a terrorist intent and the violence was not motivated by anti-Semitic sentiment".
"The violence was influenced by the situation in Gaza, not by anti-Semitism," said the prosecutor.
The attacks erupted between Israeli soccer fans and locals who were reportedly angered by the Israelis' tearing of Palestinian flags and their genocidal chants against Arabs.
Police said they were investigating at least 45 people over the violence, including that carried out by fans of the Israeli club.
Prosecutors sought an eight-month prison sentence for Umutcan A., 24, for allegedly assaulting fans and ripping a Maccabi scarf from one of them.
A. was also suspected of being the author of a WhatsApp message calling for a "Jew hunt", according to AFP.
"I don't hate Jews at all, I can't tell you why I said that," he told the Amsterdam District Court.
Another man, identified as Abushabab M., 22, faces the most serious charge of attempted murder but his case has been postponed while he undergoes a psychiatric assessment.
He was born in the Gaza Strip and grew up in a war zone, his lawyer told the court, while M. sat sobbing as his case was being heard.
A further six suspects are set to appear at a later stage.
Three of these suspects are minors and their cases will be heard behind closed doors.
At an emotionally charged news conference the morning after the riots, Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema said the city had been "deeply damaged" by "hateful anti-Semitic rioters."
However, Halsema later said she regretted the parallel she had drawn between the violence and "memories of pogroms", saying this word had been used as propaganda.
