Israeli football fans clash with protesters in Amsterdam - Amsterdam city council member says ‘Maccabi hooligans’ instigated violence and attacked Palestinian supporters.
Would also like to show you multiple Instagram links from my other comment Another comment of mine.
From what I understand; Israeli fans started, Pro-Palestine supporters reacted and then the entire clash happened.
The main issue is (at least in The Netherlands), the official news outlets never explain what Israeli fans did, they victimize Israeli’s and claim that they’re are the hurted ones. Blames all the Pro-Palestine people only.
I saw this article posted earlier. The part about the Israelis first tearing down a Palestinian flag, attacking a taxi driver, and chanting slogans is buried way down in the article.
Is there a football culture that isn't? I just usually hear about bananas being thrown at black players and chants that they go home or other stuff like that.
If there's a football culture out there that doesn't regularly descend into horrible hooliganism, I'd like to know which one it is so I can pretend to know about them when people ask me if I like the sport.
The fact that the reporting is lopsided does not mean both side are biased. The actual event can have been lopsided, and then one of the media sides is being impartial.
I'm not saying that's what happened, I don't know what "really" happened. Neither do you.
Media has completely distorted this story framing Isreali hooligans as the victim of being beaten up, while they were doing the beating. It is insane how blatant the lies have gotten. They even chanted "there are no schools in Gaza because all the children are dead"
