The court in Rotterdam organizes a themed session on discrimination. There are four Feyenoord-supporters rightly that in oktober en december 2015 at football matches Rotterdam guilty of shouting anti-Semitic slogans such as "Hamas, Hamas, all Jews to the gas”. They had earlier fines of a few hundred euros, but against this they went in appeal. These are men Apeldoorn, Waddinxveen, 'S Heerenberg Woerden. Two of the suspects, who deny hurtful texts have called, be acquitted for lack of evidence, the other two get conditional fines. The court determines that the calling of such slogans is intentionally offensive to Jews, even if this is done in the context of a football game and directed against football fans and football players and not against Jews. However, it does not “incitement to hatred or discrimination or violence against the person or property of Jews” op, within the meaning of art. 137d.
