Pogrom btw
Edit: The translation and perpetrators are accurate, but there are suggestions this did not happen in Amsterdam but in Israel. I removed the mention of Amsterdam from the title just in case.
Re-edit: Ai is pretty cool. It was in Amsterdam.
The Guardian has a story with the sequence of events and more video of multiple incidents. Maccabi (the Israeli team) supporters started burning Palestinian flags, vandalized a taxi, and started chanting about “let the IDF win, we will fuck the Arabs” and “there are no more children in Gaza.”
Stuff like that went on for a while, police made a couple of arrests, then after the soccer match things got nastier. 5 people hospitalized (don’t know who), Amsterdam natives demanding to know if people were Jewish and to see passports, Israeli supporters setting off fireworks and using makeshift weapons pulled from a construction site.
World leaders are calling it a targeted attack against Jews and shameful. No word in the article that the Jews involved were condemned.
And then we have Israeli leaders straight up attempt to silence statements like this, claiming that it is blatantly antisemitic. Even though
But being called an antisemite, by the head of the Israeli government, makes every western politician cower in fear.
Don’t forget they jeered during the minute of silence for the victims of the floods in Spain, who had nothing to do with any of this either. Just ridiculously disrespectful, and fans have been banned for less egregious shit. Yet I haven’t heard anything from UEFA.
It’s weird how UEFA, next to FIFA one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet, will still be aware enough of their public image, to not want to be called antisemitic.
Zionist aim is to conquer the whole world nazi style. Of course they disrespect spain. They will disrespect everyone and everything that’s not zionist.
