A group of fans of the Moroccan soccer team chanted an antisemitic and homophobic slogan in the Netherlands, while a London police officer was injured in rioting following the team\u2019s elimination from the FIFA World Cup at the hands of France on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Footage showed a crowd of men and teens in The Hague chanting, \u201cAll Jews are gay,\u201d while waving Moroccan and Palestinian flags, after France won 2-0.<\/p>\n

While some who shared the video online claimed the soccer fans were chanting outside a place where they believed Israeli tourists were staying, the video appeared to show the crowd outside a health clinic and an address at which there doesn\u2019t seem to be a hotel or guesthouse.<\/p>\n

Others said that the crowd shouted \u201cHamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas,\u201d but that chant did not feature in the videos, and could not be verified.<\/p>\n

Community volunteers initially acted to disperse the crowd, with police arriving later in large numbers, a local resident and freelance reporter said, putting an end to the unrest less than an hour after the match ended.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, British police battled football fans in central London early Friday after the Moroccan team\u2019s defeat in the quarter-final.\n<\/p>\n

One police officer was injured, and four people were arrested following the \u201cviolent disorder,\u201d London police said.<\/p>\n

Images shared on social media showed dozens of people standing on Edgware Road, near Hyde Park, and some throwing bottles and other objects at police.<\/p>\n

Police said the trouble started after people blocked traffic in the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident then escalated with the group throwing bottles and setting off fireworks,\u201d a spokesman said. \u201cOne officer was taken to hospital for head injuries, it is believed he had been hit by a glass bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident \u2013 ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded \u2013 I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.<\/p>\n

There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.<\/p>\n

As a Times of Israel reporter, I\u2019m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit\u2019s. But my colleagues and I can’t do this alone.
