      Bit of Column A and Column B.

      Israeli fans were being belligerent. There are videos of them chanting slurs towards Palestinians, tearing down Palestinian flags, etc.

      Not saying the violence they received in turn is justified, but I think the “antisemitic” motivations may be just a bit overblown, though not necessarily nonexistent.

      Well there are two stories going around, the story where the Israeli’s are the victim ofcourse getting a lot more attention. The story where the Israeli’s tear down Palestinian flags and beat up an Arab taxi driver not so much.

      Nope. Here is a reaction of the maker of the video (iAnnet on X). iAnnet explains in the image below. Note that this movie was used by the Israeli embassy in USA to claim these nicely behaving, innocent football supporters were attacked. Subsequently all mainstream media copied it from there.
