Wait is this real? Fucking seriously? Israeli's trotting around being racist as fuck, but any response is "antisemitism"?
That's not an argument. Not every Israeli is a nazi. You can't just go around beating up Isrealis because they're from Israel. But yeah, it's disgusting how they're just constantly hiding behind antisemitism like it's their get-out-of-jail-free-card
No, they went around beating israelis who werechanting racist shit, damaging property and attacking dutch citizens.

This doesn't justify attacks on random israeli tourists if those happened, but also proves it's not some coordinated antisemitic attack on jews, but rather outrage about behavior of some of them.
I read a lot of stuff on Lemmy within the last year that was way over the top. I don't know if it's because this is the only comment below this post at the time of writing that I feel this way, but I am deeply disgusted. As a German knowing our European history very well, I find your comment very concerning.
Because for you all Jews are the same which they're not, there are cunts like those guys, people who are not racist scum.
Have you spent any time trying to understand the recent events that happened in Amsterdam? It seems like Israelis were the instigators and participating in despicable behavior, according to first-hand reports, but I'm absolutely open to being corrected - this is a developing story, afaik
I'll admit I find comments blindly defending authoritarian racists advocating for an ongoing genocide deeply concerning, myself.
These are Israeli hooligans. They spent days terrorising the city, attacking buildings and beating up taxi drivers until people were fed up and fought back (because the police didn't do anything). Now they're playing the victim.
There's plenty of Jews in Amsterdam that don't get attacked on the daily.
so you're upset about civilians being attacked but you're not upset about civilians being attacked?
which civilians deserve to be attacked?
I suppose the ones that aren't holding your government hostage via the military industrial complex. If those Palestinians didn't want to be bombed into oblivion they should have lobbied themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Every American should learn about the so called zoot suit "riots"
White American sailors got in a fight with Mexican Americans. It's unclear what started it but the following actions of American sailors provides good context. After the initial fight, sailors started to randomly target Mexican-Americans and jumping them. Of course, there was retaliation and it got really crazy - I won't spoil it for anyone interested.
The reason I mention it is because it's fascinating to see how media organizations like the LA Times covered it. They unanimously blamed "gangs" of Mexicans and didn't blame demonstrably racist American sailors whatsoever - they were obviously brave patriots, and not you know fuckin fascists
I actually read about these because of the cherry poppin daddies song.
and I agree, you make a great point.
It was also 80+ years ago.
I mean, its relevant, just - things also change. Brave American Soldiers in 1943 was an easy sell.
Discrimination is bad, you should just kill all civilians equally
I honestly lost track of the layers of irony here. I don't want Israelis to be harmed any more than Palestinians. I am under the impression the violence was defensive in nature which is hard to be upset about. If it wasn't then I absolutely don't condone it.
sounds weird when you strip away the cynicism
Theres another post here that says these soccer hooligans were chanting death to arabs.
