I mean, the mayor of Amsterdam (from the Left-Green party btw) described the events as something from the city's past, like Nazi pogroms. I thought you liked Nazi references?!
People being set upon by 20 people and having to lie about where they are from to hide their Jewishness. WTF?!
I have no doubt there was some obnoxious Maccabi Tel Aviv fans there, but it seems clear to me who was most in the wrong.
Even you equating a "pro USA" banner in Netherlands to people having their heads kicked in is pretty bizarre.
As all of us know, it is often the case in football hooliganism that some victims are not always entirely innocent but that doesn't justify everything and what clearly some very serious events occured last night
How can you not see how bad what you are writing here?
If someone sets fire to a Palestinian Flag that is of course a deeply ignorant, stupid and insensitive thing to do and it provokes a reaction. The person doing it it to blame.
That doesn't justify hunting down and beating up entirely different sets of people because they are Israeli or Jewish.
If a Muslim guy burnt the British flag it doesn't mean a bunch of people are justified to go around hunting down and beating up random Muslims. It's no different.
Seriously, wtf?!
Read the room. The mayor of Amsterdam herself has labelled it antisemitic. You are allowed to criticise casual random racist attacks against people. It doesn't change your wider views on the conflict.

I know that you always side with the right terms of over here , in the middle east , in America etc
But that's what was running earlier
I don't care wether it was 60 percent Palestinian extremists , 40 percent Israeli IDF hangers on
The fans of tel aviv have history for intolerance of Arabs including abusing their own players of Arab origin
If you want to ignore the burning of a Palestinian flag , racial insults towards Arabs and idiots in a very sensitive area walking around with pro US flags then thats your perogative , you probably need to complain to the BBC reporting this
Are you ok?
What the heck is bad about saying it's quite likely that burning a flag is likely to provoke violence? That has happened for time immemorial. Who on Earth is justifying any violence? I certainly am not just like I condemn the murder of the Innocents in Gaza.
There is no place for violence anywhere but in this case there is no case either for idiots to burn flags in other people's countries.
Give your head a wobble
It's of no surprise that you are questioning the BBC or myself indeed on this matter
However if we are to have a new world order that means every news item is to be verified then let's have it here
It appears that the BBC are reporting tel aviv fans racially abusing Arabs and burning a Palestinian flag
You have questioned this , suggesting foul play , as it were
The BBC are also reporting anti Jewish attacks on tel aviv fans
I believe that those attacks happened
I am not asking for forensic verification of these anti Semitic attacks
But if someone asks if you think these anti Semitic attacks were set up by pro Jewish groups ......what is your view ?
It's all utter nonsense really
I am siding with the BBC until otherwise facts come to light
What are you talking about here .....being against random Jews? I have no idea what you mean ....
A plague on all their houses which is the expression I used in the OP means they are all as bad as each other, all to blame etc
That's clear
In this news report it appears that some Jewish fans of tel aviv in Amsterdam have been involved in racist behaviour as reported by the BBC and Arabs in Amsertdam have also got stuck in
You are a right drama queen when it suits you
Tel Aviv fans ripped down a Palestinian flag , burnt down another flag and attacked a taxi the night before
That's according to Dutch police
I would say that irrespective of the idiots involved in hit squad attacks on Jewish fans , that's provocation
