We’re the same people that attacked the taxi and the flag the same people who were attacked? If they were the same people, it’s anti dickehead behaviour. If it’s other supporters, connected only by their nationality, then calling it antisemitism is not a stretch.
Comment on Amsterdam bans all protests after attacks on Israeli football fans
catloaf@lemm.ee 1 week agoYup. The media is framing this as antisemitism, but it’s not, it’s anti-shitheadism. It’s in this article, but they’ve buried it:
Amsterdam’s police chief said that Maccabi supporters set a Palestinian flag on fire and attacked a taxi a day before the match was set to take place.
Ahead of the game, a Palestinian flag was ripped off a building in the city centre and riot police blocked pro-Palestinian supporters from marching toward the stadium, according to Dutch broadcaster NOS.
Yeah, that’s what started it.

So a whole day later, and people organized an indiscriminate attack against Israelis…
Sorry, you can’t support this unless you believe that violence is an appropriate response to another person’s national origin.

You can’t just start hitting a random person of the same origin and claim this to be justified.

The victim mentality is just in your head. Others just see an asshole who is burning down your flag and abusing you with death threats.
You pretend as if your nationality is visible to people like a banner… but it’s not. It’s just your behavior.
When you behave like an asshole and indulge in violence and spew hatred you expect people to respect your origin?
