Ongoing Student Strikes Turn into Riots

All over the country high school students continue their strikes which have turned into riots and left a trail of destruction. Besides throwing eggs at passing bikers and drivers, there were other forms of vandalism. The police had to intervene in many places. They used teargas and batons and made many arrests. In Tilburg three teachers were beaten by students, and in Leiden the riots also took on an anti-Semitic slant with students chanting slogans such as ‘Jews, Jews’ and ‘Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas’, etc.
