The pogroms were acts of violence committed against jewish communities as a group by mass of people. Often perpetrated in germany and URSS during first half of XXth century by civilian population that govt officials would oversee.

Basically something that didn’t happen in Amsterdam. It’s insanity to me. I feel like I’m going crazy with just the outright lies and media spin. This shit makes people not like Jews, when the reporting is just so blatantly dishonest
