Funny this article mentions nothing of that. I had read it somewhere else.

This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv Hooligans did in the Netherlands that triggered all the violence against them after the authorities did nothing, don’t let anyone twist it.

Israelis are not the victim.

They took down Palestine’s flag and then it all started.

An eyewitness stated: “It all kicked off when they pulled a Palestinian flag off a facade. Then they started provoking and destroyed a taxi driver's car and beat up the driver themselves.”

Some Maccabi fans were seen with metal chains, ready to attack.

Also during tonight’s match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli supporters refused to hold a minute of silence for Valencia flood victims. They even started illegal fireworks.

They sang racist extermination songs

“Let the IDF win to Fuck the Arabs”

Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans chant their genocidal song while being protected by the police in Amsterdam, this song they’re chanting has a part that says “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left”.

It's not funny that the article doesn't mention that. Radio Free Europe is a part of the US propaganda machine, an article will be one-sided if it can affect the interests of the US.

Wdym source, I just took the comment I was replying to and quoted what he linked. Sources are in the top comment.

I meant three thing you said about reading it 'somewhere else'

I should have clarified that

Yeah they fucked around and found out. These are adult people, let them deal with the consequences of their actions.

Israelis aren't used to that when it comes to hatecrimes against Palestinians.

They all get a free flight home too. This is to reinforce the behaviour, they are being rewarded to go do it again.

If you let them think they're at fault you run the risk of them developing human empathy then they're useless to the IDF.

The only stories about this I’ve seen on Lemmy take a very pro-Israel perspective. Have the Israelis started doing to Lemmy what they’ve done to Reddit?

NBC’s coverage, as an alternative, says this immediately after it’s opening statement:

Videos circulating on social media showed violence in the city’s streets, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam's central station appearing to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. Separate video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” as well as tearing down a Palestinian flag.

…which clarifies that the attack was the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters.

I'm sure a lot has to do with your home server, but I don't think I've seen a single post about this where the top comment hasn't immediately clarified that this was most likely a reciprocal attack after these idiots were running havoc through Amsterdam. I've even seen mentions of them beating up an Arab cab driver (though haven't seen anything to confirm, tbh).

Fortunately the comments have been good. But the actual articles posted in OPs have been awful.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Ah, gotcha, yea the coverage of this has been awful. I know if I talk to my cousins about this, they'll freak out about antisemitic violence in Europe rather than understand that this is pretty justified not even antizionist but anti-generalal-shithead violence.
