Sorry, but the news text read as if this was retaliation for acts which happened a day before. You are telling me instead, they were attacked while chanting and ripping flags, which would make this a different story but still an act of violence.
Comment on Amsterdam bans all protests after attacks on Israeli football fans
eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe 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?

I don’t see people calling for decency when it’s brown people on the receiving end. I only see people calling for decency when people call out/fight back against the agressors.

I am sorry, if my words somehow offended you. I never intended them to be interpreted in such a way, nor am I limiting my compassion by skin color or species.

I meant to reply to the other person.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are not the ones bombing Gaza. The only logic you’re following here is that being Israeli means you’re fair game.
Remember how in post-9/11 America violence against Arabs residents and businesses skyrocketed, despite their only connection being country of origin, ethnicity, or religion? That’s what Jews around the world are experiencing because of Gaza - because of people like you.

You’re so close to self realization. Neither are the Arabs living in Amsterdam part of Hamas. Yet that didn’t stop these Israelis from burning flags, taunting people, saying horrible things like “Fuck Arabs” and causing trouble in the Netherlands of all places.
Israeli people spewed venom, burnt palestinian flags and taunted amsterdam residents. You’re saying that retaliating is antisemitic. I say that’s bullshit.

You seem to be manufacturing the racism by twisting what I said. I only said those who choose violence shouldn’t be surprised people are retaliating with violence. It’s not my problem that you incorrectly think people are retaliating because of your origin instead of your behavior.
The behavior of the Maccaba Tel Aviv fans had consequences. Now Israel and the general media is trying to avoid talking about the behavior that started all this and deliberately focusing on the retaliation as if it happened because of the identities of the people.

One person tore down a flag.
The next day, dozens of Israelis were attacked, regardless of their association with this person.
They were attacked for being Israeli. Most Israelis were born in Israel and have no other citizenships. Generally you don’t get to choose what country you were born in…
Every day, the pro-palestine left proves that it has fallen for antisemitic propaganda. You have an excuse now for committing violence against any Jew or Israeli that you want.

Every day, the pro-israeli right proves that it has fallen for anti-Palestinan propaganda. You have an excuse now for committing violence against any Palesrinian or Arab that you want.
