The news stories seem to just leave out that the Israeli fans stole and burned a Palestinian flag, assaulted a taxi driver and vandalized a taxi, and marched through Amsterdam chanting racist slogans and celebrating dead children in Gaza. Then during the match they disrupted a moment of silence for Spanish flood victims with chant and firecrackers (because Spain acknowledged the genocide and initiated an arms embargo).

But no, instead of a relatively straightforward escalation (still wrong) stemming from foreign racists staging a provocative march and being violent to citizens of the city, we instead just see the news parrot “it was a pogrom on poor Israelis just trying to enjoy some football”.
They were likely paid to do this too (then a free military flight home)…Netanyohooo even said he was going to deploy troops to go get the fans. I hope all these countries hold their leaders accountable, because it’s going to happen again and again.
Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”
Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.
Netanyohooo even said he was going to deploy troops to go get the fans
That’s an odd statement. Like… get their troops marching on a foreign country to defend their hooligans and extract them back home? If not, then what?
Odd. Really odd.
No, the plan was to send military evacuation flights. I think it ended up not happening in the end.
Yeah, Netanyihoo is odd, and this should have caused much more outrage than it did. But “antisemitism”.
From here
The prime minister said he ordered the sending of two rescue planes to the Netherlands to evacuate the fans.
The Israeli military said it was preparing to deploy a rescue mission with the coordination of Dutch authorities.
However, the military’s international spokesperson Nadav Shoshani later said on X the mission would not be departing to Amsterdam
The Maccabi hooligans were escorted out of the city center by the police by bus after the police clamped down on the Maccabi rioters. But afterwards pro-Palestine rioters attacked everyone with a Maccabi scarf or who looked like an Israeli. Those people weren’t part of those Israeli instigators.
Interesting. The only source for the “Cancer Jews” is a fascist twitter channel, who has a video of attacks on a tram with that statement. However in the video such a chant cannot be heard.

“For justice & freedom. Seeks confrontation. #liberal #secular #economist #allochtoon #Amsterdammer Links opgevoed, Rechts ontwikkeld” The last part translates to “raised on the left, developed on the right”
Also the article seems to praise Geerd Wilders, who is known to be a fascist since over a decade.
Why is it that Zionists are always in bed with Fascists?
These weren’t anti-Semitic attacks, they were anti-Zionist protests. Even Jewish groups in Amstersam spoke up and said what the Israelis did was wrong.
This OP posting from JPost? The credibility is at an all time low.
This is a seperate incident which happened more recently. After the one you wrote about.
