  1.  @billking8843  Even if those translations are correct, there is no way the Dutch cops understood any of it on the spot. They can't time travel when it later turns out to have been racial chants.

  2. Because half of them aren't Dutch?

  3. No, this is what happens when you protest while all protests are banned for the weekend. There have been numerous pro Palestine protests without any issues in Amsterdam.

  4.  @DEonaraR  Nobody is being arrested for their opinion. They are arrested because all protests were banned for the weekend in Amsterdam over safety concerns, due to an escalation of violence last week. There have been plenty of pro Palestine protests without any issue. That's not the problem.

  7.  @flowsnake8732  They could have called translators but why would they? It's a bunch of hooligans chanting bs like hooligans always do. Even if it was racist, that's not itself illegal here. What is legal is incitement of hatred, but people rarely - if ever - get arrested on the spot here for that. When people press charges, a prosecutor looks at it, and then they decide to prosecute or not.

  8.  @ellierivera5519  Almost every Dutch person speaks English, but a lot of the pro Palestinian protesters are immigrants and international students.

  9.  @suibian9467  All protests were banned in Amsterdam for the weekend out of fear the violence would escalate further.
