Geert Wilders, who leads the largest political party in the Netherlands, the Party for Freedom, wrote on Saturday that he was “speechless” after leaning about Amsterdam police’s response to what has been described as a pogrom on Thursday night.

“Amsterdam Police just confirmed that no one has been arrested during the Islamic Jew-hunt in Amsterdam Thursday night,” Wilders wrote. “All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and not during the pogrom.”
