Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after match
At least 10 hurt in attacks throughout the city after Europa League game; fans: 'We were attacked, it seemed planned'; PM orders airlift to evacuate Israelis

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.
The woman quoted by NBC on twitter literally states the video is of Israeli supporters beating up someone.
NBC and Reuters somehow spin this into Israelis being attacked.
This is absolute insanity.
Yeah, even NBC’s headline isn’t great. But at least it doesn’t open with bogus “antisemitism” wording.
Well, if they are chanting “Death to Arabs” then wtf did they think would happen? Nothing?
Considering there's a lot of Morocco Arabs in the Netherlands, that's a bold move for sure.
LOL, there is no other perspective.
Israel warned Dutch authorities days prior because of what they had seen on social media. Dutch police warned Israeli fans to avoid taxis because they knew the taxi drivers were coordinating an attack. There are now screen grabs starting to circulate of text exchanges in taxi driver chat groups talking about how to avoid police and hanging up Palestinian flags to incite a response. This was a planned, coordinated pogrom. Fans were beaten unconscious, run over by cars, and chased into the canal to escape, with the mob screaming, "Say free Palestine and we'll leave." https://x.com/stop_jew_hate/status/1854881566553411612
This is the funniest cope I've ever seen for 'my countries ultras tried to start shit with non-football hooligans and got their asses kicked.'
Fighting people who aren't women and children without total air superiority isn't that easy, is it?
The evidence is right there and will keep coming out. It was a planned attack by more barbaric Jew-hating Arabs.
The video evidence is already out. Plus basically every European knows what an ultra is, and will look at the number of injured and comment "wow, that is lower then normal"
This is just ultras who got their asses kicked and are trying to claim victim status.
That so?
How about this video: https://x.com/EYakoby/status/1854709289425748082 The caption is in Croatian. It translates "To hunt Zionists"
Videos like this were captured in numerous locations all around the area. They planned it.
Here's one where they beat up a couple of women: https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1854875724592607574
These screen grabs are so obviously fake. How can you actually cite them as sources?
How are they "so obviously fake"?
A few notes (in red)
It’s google translate modern hebrew -> English
You need to read some general media sources that aren’t part of your ethnocultural nationalist colonialist bubble.
Right, because we all know mainstream media like the BBC isn't biased. This is the same news organization that published an article complaining about the environmental impact of the IDF whereas the Hamas rockets are much better for the environment. Fucking joke.
What does this have to do with BBC? Their coverage on the Israeli hooligans had headlines that at a glance made the responses of locals sound anti-Semitic; they didn’t lead with the instigation.
