Jewish football team ‘chased by knife-wielding pro-Palestine mob’ in Berlin days after horror Amsterdam ‘pogrom’

A JEWISH football team is now under police protection after it was “attacked” by a knife-wielding pro-Palestinian mob in Berlin.

Teens from Makkabi Berlin’s youth team claim they were “hunted down” by a group of Arab youngsters following a game against local rivals last week.

The match was held in Neukölln, a suburb known for its significant Arab and Turkish communities.

One player’s dad claimed that his son was “deeply shaken” when he came back home from the game.

The boy was alleged spat at and later harassed by a mob of kids and adults who followed the squad off the pitch with sticks and knives.

All of the players were aged between 13 and 16.
