Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after match
Attacks throughout the city after Europa League game in Amsterdam; Fans: 'We were attacked, it seemed planned'; Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar: 'Serious events in the Netherlands'
They literally ran through the streets ripping and burning Palestinian flags and shouting pro genocide chants one day ago. They’re scum.
The Israel supporters also beat up a cab driver.
An Arab taxi driver was also attacked by mobs who appeared to be with the Israeli fans, although police said they couldn't identify the nationality of the attackers as no arrests were made.
A group of Israeli fans gathered in the Dam Square on Wednesday were filmed sparking confrontations with locals, shouting “Fuck you” at some of them and “Fuck you Palestine”.
The also refused to participate in a minute of silence before kick-off for at least 200 people who died in the Valencia floods.
If anyone wants to know what kind of people they are, this shows it. They believe themselves superior to anyone and they extend empathy to no one.
Absolutely this. I saw the videos first and read newspaper articles later. Nowhere in the articles did they mention the chants and the ripping off of flags, I saw both in those videos. It’s crazy how even violent hooligans are now portrayed as victims just because it fits the narrative.
I believe you, but i can't find anything on that. All the searches just refer to the violence in this story

No news outlet is going to report on that but there are videos of the racist and pro genocide chants. Amsterdam has a large Palestinian community in which many people have family members that were murdered by those IDF pigs.
bullshit
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.
A 30-year-old Maccabi Tel Aviv fan describes the moments of horror: "I finished a four-month reserve in Gaza, and what I experienced here is no less scary. There is a war out here. They ran over me and pulled a knife on me. I am slightly injured, but I am not ready to receive treatment here, only in Israel. We were ambushed. I'm in the market. I saw with my own eyes children who were caught in explosions. They are everywhere. No police, complete chaos. Everything was pre-planned. The police here abandoned us. Every fourth person walking the street is a Muslim who has come to attack Jews. Me and several hundred other fans are surrounded in the hotel, the police don't allow us to leave. They just want to fly home."
Wonder what he did in those 4 months. I bet you it was a lot worse than what he got here.
You reap what you fucking sow.
It was probably scarier because there he was just bombing people with drones and airstrikes and from within tanks and this time he actually was just by himself with no giant guns around
Sounds like he was in the IDF. Captain Hyperbole
There was a time when I would've sympathized with and supported the Israelis.
But that was 40,000 murders ago.
Like, why the fuck are they still inviting their football teams to play?
And why the fuck are they in the Europa league? Last I checked Israel was nowhere near Europe. Aren't they Semitic and from the Middle East? At least they love to use that definition when they shout "antisemitism" at anyone who criticises them. And why are they in the European Song Contest? Anyway, no sympathy. They clearly like violence so let them have it.
Israel has become the Nazis
I feel soooo bad for a bunch of genocide supporters /s
They shouldn't even be allowed to travel to Europe for their genocide support.
If you go to another country you should have respect above all. Fuck around and find out! Love me the dutch!
Hopefully, the European powers that be will start realizing that Israel isn't a part of us and we don't want that Zionist hatred on our streets. Maybe leave it in Israel next time and behave in a civilized manner. Honestly, i don't want to see football with them or Eurovision with them either.
I'd be ashamed every day if i had to wake up as an Israeli. What a disgrace of a people. Judaism will always have a place in modern Europe but anti Palestinian sentiment does not and i wonder how much longer until both the powers that be and the international community at large realizes European leadership and the European people are not of the same mind when it comes to Israel.
Thoughts and prayers.
Hmmm
Gonna have to see those videos
Only a small portion of the kind of welcome Israelis deserve everywhere they go.
You're not going to find the truth in anything that OP is posting.
Why is there so much nationalism at a club match...
I always thought sports fans could do lots of dumb shit
There is a specific kind of person that is able to go see a team playing so far away, and that kind usually is also nationalistic as fuck. Some exceptions of course, but the vast majority will always be POS's
antisemitism
What an utter disgrace. Such barbaric behaviour has no place in a civilized society.
Israelis should be able to attend sporting events, and cheer on their team internationally, just like everyone else, without the fear of violence.
Maybe start by respecting palestinians right to exist and live, before arguing about the right to attend sports
You're right, belonging to a country that's committing genocide shouldn't stop you having fun.
As a Frenchman, I'm proud to know that we organized concerts and plays in Paris in the 40s to entertain the poor Nazi soldiers who had seen so many horrors.
