You must use very alternative sources, because all the mainstream coverage I saw was six paragraphs of “poor Israelis attacked by Arab mobs” and one paragraph of “prior to these attacks, the Israelis went around doing hate crimes”.

The news I saw made it clear it was a bunch of fanatical “ultras” football fucks that saw some Palestine flags and started damaging property willy-nilly to take them down.
These bunch of shitheads call themselves fans, but all they know is to cause trouble and make a mess.

There were two groups of shitheads. Some people of one group will be prosecuted by the extreme right government party, the other group was moved back to Israel in emergency.
But I want to repeat: there were multiple groups of shitheads

Not only that. They were chanting a bunch of horrible songs about arabs and palestinians. They also whistled and yelled through a minute of silence before the football match for people that died. They even attacked a middle eastern taxi driver, dragged him out of the car and beat him up.
The whole thing has been pissing me off…

Those chants were certainly racist and violent Especially the chant “Why is there no school in Gaza? There are no children left there.”
