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".

There was another news post earlier today with the same crazy bias, seemingly completely ignoring the bigoted, disrespectful-as-fuck shenanigans by pro-Israeli football hooligans.

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.

Edit: It was the military who said it

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.

That's by design.

What do kids do when they have a fit and are rewarded with candy? They throw more fits. They 100% know it's not antisemitism, theyre checking how far they can push their US backed military invasions. US taxpayers funds pay for most of it, so why not.

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.

"No!"....

See my comment here

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.
