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 video evidence is already out. Plus basically every European knows what an ultra is, and will look at the number of injured and comment “wow, that is lower then normal”
This is just ultras who got their asses kicked and are trying to claim victim status.
Right, because we all know mainstream media like the BBC isn’t biased. This is the same news organization that published an article complaining about the environmental impact of the IDF whereas the Hamas rockets are much better for the environment. Fucking joke.
What does this have to do with BBC? Their coverage on the Israeli hooligans had headlines that at a glance made the responses of locals sound anti-Semitic; they didn’t lead with the instigation.

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.
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.

This is the funniest cope I’ve ever seen for ‘my countries ultras tried to start shit with non-football hooligans and got their asses kicked.’
Fighting people who aren’t women and children without total air superiority isn’t that easy, is it?

These screen grabs are so obviously fake. How can you actually cite them as sources?

You need to read some general media sources that aren’t part of your ethnocultural nationalist colonialist bubble.
