               RECENT ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN AMSTERDAM

  (Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEVENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in joint support of our Jewish 
community and to condemn the recent Europa League soccer match attacks 
that took place in Amsterdam, wreaking unbelievable violence on our 
Jewish community.
  These attacks occurred just days before the 86th anniversary of 
Kristallnacht, and it is a stark reminder of the devastating 
consequences of unchecked hatred.
  Simply put, Jews and Israelis in Amsterdam were attacked following a 
soccer match simply because of who they are.
  We are calling on the Dutch Government to respond. We are calling on 
worldwide officials to invest in safety and to combat hate wherever we 
may see it. This has been a hateful incident that has reverberated 
across the world and is felt in my home State of Michigan.
