There were chat groups planning a Jew hunt for that day weeks in advance. Screenshots exist.
So include them in your post that otherwise just proves the point of the article?
The article included several unsourced quotes from some kind of chat groups which are also potentially translated, no way to verify. And then they included a random unsourced screenshot which has "translation" added on top it, removing original content that would help verify authenticity. That's not proof you claim it to be... Not only basic fact checking disproves it, but article itself quotes Uber spokesperson indicating there were no reports.
A story on how the claim that was rejected by Uber. And Israeli PR machine trying to make something out of nothing.
An Uber spokesperson tweeted saying they were “shocked to hear of this abhorrent violence” and were supporting Dutch authorities with their investigation.
They claimed, “there were no reported incidents of violence or antisemitism on the Uber app,” and did not respond to allegations that drivers perpetrated physical violence.
Today it has become clear (see mayor/police report) that these messages appeared on the day of the game after the attack on a taxi driver, and not weeks in advance.
I request you to remove that lie.
