November 6, 7, and 8, 2024 Amsterdam riots (Wikipedia dates).
Grokipedia shows: "The November 2024 Amsterdam riots consisted of coordinated antisemitic assaults on
Israeli soccer fans in the Dutch capital following a UEFA Europa League match on 7 November between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv, with rioters systematically targeting victims based on identifiable Jewish or Israeli symbols such as kippahs or Maccabi gear. Dutch police reported that perpetrators conducted 'hit-and-run' attacks across the city center, yelling slurs like 'dirty Jews' while beating and robbing supporters, leading to five hospitalizations and 62 immediate arrests for offenses including grievous bodily harm."
Wikipedia shows: "The attacks were condemned by Dutch authorities, who described them as antisemitic. Some Israeli and Dutch authors also described the incident as a pogrom. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he was 'horrified' by the 'antisemitic attacks' on Israelis, and that the country had 'failed' its
Jewish community ... 'There is nothing, absolutely nothing to serve as an excuse for the deliberate search and hunting down of Jews.' VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz described the images as 'incredibly sick' and the attacks as 'pure Jew-hatred.' King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed 'deep horror and shock' at the attacks, adding: 'We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again.'"
Both Wikipedia and Grokipedia show that Jewish people say that the pogrom was by Moroccons and Palestian Arabs Muslims, with other supporters joinig the Jew-hunting gangs.

"1945 anti-Jewish riots in Tripolitania" (Wikipedia information)
"The 1945 anti-Jewish riots in Tripolitania were the most violentriots against Jews in North Africa in the 20th century. From November 5 to November 7, 1945, more than 140 Jews were killed and many more injured in a pogrom in Tripolitania, then under British military occupation. 38 Jews were killed in Tripoli from where the riots spread. 40 were killed in Amrus, 34 in Zanzur, 7 in Tajura, 13 in Zawia and 3 in Qusabat."
"Some of the worst anti-Jewish violence occurred following the liberation of North Africa by Allied troops. From November 5 to November 7, 1945, more than 140 Jews (including 36 children) were killed and hundreds more injured in the Tripoli pogrom. Therioters looted nearly all of the city's synagogues and destroyed five of them,along with hundreds of homes and businesses. In the aftermath about 4,000 Jews were left homeless, and 2,400 were reduced to poverty. Five synagogues in Tripoli and four in provincial towns were destroyed, and over 1,000 Jewish residences and commercial buildings were plundered in Tripoli alone. Many Jews in al-Kusbat converted to Islam in order to avoid being massacred."
These pogroms eventually forced Jewish people to leave Libya: "The history of the Jews in Libya stretches back to the 3rd century BCE, when Cyrenaica was under Greek rule. The Jewish population of Libya, a part of the Sephardi-Maghrebi Jewish community, continued to populate the area continuously until modern times." --"The insecurity which arose from these anti-Jewish attacks, as well as the founding of the state of Israel led many Jews to emigrate. From 1948 to 1951, and especially after immigration became legal in 1949, 30,972 Jews immigrated to Israel."

The 1923 Scheunenviertel Pogrom in Germany.
According to Berlin-Escape dot com, "On 5 to 7 November 1923, during the hyperinflation crisis, a mob attacked Jewish residents and businesses in the Scheunenviertel over three nights. Shops were
looted, people were beaten, and several were seriously injured. The violence was organised by far-right nationalist groups and required police intervention to stop. The 1923 pogrom is historically significant as one of the first organised antisemitic attacks in a major German city in the twentieth century — a decade before Hitler’s accession to power. It demonstrated the vulnerability of the immigrant community, which had neither the assimilation protections of the established German-Jewish community nor, in many cases, German citizenship."
Angry crowds flooded into the Scheunenviertel, a Berlin neighborhood where many Jewish people lived. Violent rioters yelled antisemitic slogans like "Beat the Jews to death" and "Out with the Eastern Jews". For two days, mobs pulled Jewish people out of their homes, beat them in the streets, attacked synagogues, and robbed hundreds of Jewish-owned shops and businesses. Local police mostly
watched or did nothing to stop the violence until it had already spread across many city blocks.
