    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.

      I’m sure a lot has to do with your home server, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single post about this where the top comment hasn’t immediately clarified that this was most likely a reciprocal attack after these idiots were running havoc through Amsterdam. I’ve even seen mentions of them beating up an Arab cab driver (though haven’t seen anything to confirm, tbh).

        Fortunately the comments have been good. But the actual articles posted in OPs have been awful.

          Ah, gotcha, yea the coverage of this has been awful. I know if I talk to my cousins about this, they’ll freak out about antisemitic violence in Europe rather than understand that this is pretty justified not even antizionist but anti-generalal-shithead violence.
