“Israeli” Football Fans Riot In Amsterdam
Football Fanatics. Al Mayadeen, the Beirut news service wrote on November 8, 2024: As Western media attempts to sway the narrative around what happened in Amsterdam and paint Israeli settlers [colonists] as the victims, the reality of the events that took place seems to be different.
Yes, indeed.
The “accepted” European-American story is that vicious “anti-Semites” attacked innocent “Israeli” footballers and their fans. Their hatred of Jews caused great civil uproar in complacent Amsterdam. The evil Dutch hate-mongers savagely laid into members of the “Israeli” football team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, as well as many of their fans. Crazed Jew-haters pursued the “Israelis” and their supporters all over the city, brutalizing them to such an extent that strict security measures had to be imposed all over the city.
In reality, “Israelis” and their supporters engaged in widespread disrespect and violent anti-Semitism. (Yes, Arabs are a Semitic people speaking a Semitic tongue.)
Crazed Maccabi Fans
First, during the moment of silence for the victims of the Valencia flood, Maccabi supporters jeered and shot off fireworks in the stadium where the match against pro- “Israel”, but Dutch, Ajax was to be played.
Second, the night before the game and after the game, Zionist extremists paraded all over Amsterdam, a city of nearly a million inhabitants. During their provocative marches, the “Israelis” used vulgar, offensive chants. Besides tearing down or burning Palestinian flags, sometimes attacking the homes which displayed them, they shouted “Death to Arabs” and “Gaza has no schools because it has no children”. Some of their fans included Israeli soldiers and members of “Israel’s” external intelligence service, the Mossad.
Dutch Riot Police—Too Little, Too Late
According to Reuters, U.S. President Biden on Friday condemned attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam overnight as "despicable" and said they "echo dark moments in history when Jews [were] persecuted."
Biden said in a post on X that the United States has been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials. "We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges," he said.
Moreover, The Cradle (an international online news service) reported that: Despite the clear provocations from the Maccabi fans, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned what he called “completely unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis.” “I followed with horror the coverage from Amsterdam,” Schoof wrote on X, adding he had spoken with Netanyahu to assure him that “the perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted.” European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen also blamed anti-Semitism, saying she was “outraged” by “vile attacks targeting Israeli citizens in Amsterdam.”
This “analysis” wasn’t just confined to a few countries. The Cradle further noted that Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said it was “terrible” and “deeply shameful.” “The violence against Israeli citizens in Amsterdam recalls history’s darkest hours. I strongly condemn it and express my sympathy for the injured,” French President Emmanuel Macron said on X.
Cheezy Cheesehead Response. Originally, the Dutch took no action despite a clear indication of coming violence. Later, it was another story. Al Jazeera added an account of the Dutch government’s response to the Zionist hooligans.
Police escorted the fans to the match, and local authorities banned pro-Palestinian demonstrators from gathering outside the stadium. A pro-Palestinian march had been organized nearby at Anton de Komplein Square.
Riot police intervened. Some fans were escorted to their hotels by bus with police escorts. An additional 600 police officers were deployed.
Amsterdam’s Mayor Femke Halsema, who had called the attacks “anti-Semitic hit-and-run squads”, imposed a temporary three-day ban on demonstrations, effective from Friday to Sunday.
Emergency measures, including stop-and-search powers and a ban on face coverings, have also been imposed.
Many fans were escorted by police-protected buses to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
The Cradle clarified things for those with no knowledge of reality. The situation begged the question: How could an Israeli team like Maccabi Tel Aviv, with its fanbase notorious for racism and violence, be allowed to compete in UEFA [Union of European Football Associations] tournaments, especially while Israel stands accused by the ICC of complicity in genocide? This stark contrast becomes even more glaring when compared to the treatment of Russian teams, which have been banned from international competitions and even excluded from the Olympics due to geopolitical conflicts. Yet, Israel’s ongoing occupation and alleged war crimes seemingly do not warrant the same level of accountability, exposing a glaring double standard in the realm of global sports governance.
COMMENT. How can intelligent, responsible officials say such things and take such actions? Are they dumber than dirt? Are they biased and prejudiced? Do they fear the ZioBeasts?
The answer is “Yes”.
People who climb or seek to climb to the highest levels of politics appear to drop any intelligent positions—because they require morality and conscience and concern for the citizenry. Intolerance and narrow-mindedness are necessities for them. Money and partisan support are the keys to securing backing from chief sectors of their bases. And, yes, they do fear the ZioBeasts. Laurent Guyenot, Gilad Atzmon, and Kevin Barrett, Ph.D. have all recounted Zionist control of the societies in which professional politicians thrive.
Their principal comment is that Jews who claim to be Zionists have no loyalty to their own country. They are “Israelis” first, last, and always. Rabbi Dovid Weiss of New York City has repeatedly asserted that Judaism is a religion, not a nationality. Ruben Kaebellmann has said on Facebook: “I'm a German-Belgian Jew and I have nothing to do with the so called "State of Israel". He also added “Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, it is Judaism!”
As the Washington Post reported Nowember 10, 2024: “Jewish Americans feel the pull of Israel.” Since the Hamas retaliation on October 7, 2023, nearly 12,000 U.S. citizens have applied for “Israeli” naturalization. In that article, Yael Katsman, a spokesman for a Jewish organization, is quoted as saying that Zionism and connectivity to Israel motivate many of these people. Furthermore, he continued “Jewish people are drawn to their nation when there are threats to it.”
So.
Are the numbers accurate? Do the numbers reflect what is not stated, that those who do not emigrate to “Israel” might have significant influence on politicians, the media, and government at all levels in the United States? Because their loyalty is to a foreign “country” and not to their own nationality?
So.
Who’s the victim here?
What about utilizing the American Jew-condemned phrases about Hamas and Hezbollah? Glory To The Resistance! (Hamas). Or, Safeguard The Path Of Resistance (Hezbollah). How about From The River To The Sea; Palestine Will Be Free! And never forget the appropriate use of Genocide!
Remember the Ansar Allah, the Yemeni group that has virtually closed the Red Sea to maritime traffic headed to or from the Israeli Entity? Even though it is likely the poorest country in the world, subject to years of terrorist attacks by the U.S., the U.K., and Saudi Arabia, Yemen is still fighting, unlike many other Arab states.
