Police in Amsterdam on Sunday arrested several dozen people at an unauthorized anti-Israel protest rally at a square where, days earlier, Muslims assaulted Israeli soccer fans.
The arrests at Dam Square followed a temporary municipal ban on the anti-Israel demonstrations that regularly take place there.
