It was a lie. Only one TV channel (a German one) subsequently apologised to the Dutch journalist for using her clip to deliberately lie to their viewers.

No one is denying that a serious event happened. Very few are denying that there could have been an anti semitic element to some of the later violence. But the way the whole series of events was framed and manipulated by TV, press and politicians, and used for cynical propaganda purposes is where there seems to be a difference between you and most on this thread.
Why is the mayor of Amsterdam and the Dutch PM lying then?
