Fact check: Amsterdam video doesn't show attack on Israelis – DW – 11/12/2024
Violence broke out following the recent Europa League match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv. A video showing the riots was misrepresented by many media outlets. DW takes a closer look.
I found that article very confusing to read.
Macabi fans attacked amsterdam fans and palestine supporters,
amsterdam fans and palestine supporters attacked Macabi fans
One of the Videos was originally persumed to be an attack amsterdam fans --> Macabi Fans but turned out to be actually Macabi Fans --> Amsterdam
not really the main point you should be taking from this. What you should be taking from this is the following:
Israeli and Dutch Hooligans behaved like assholes terrorizing the local population (shocker I know). But there may have also been non-hooligans attacking the Israelis simply for being Israeli in anti-semitic violence. There is currently an Investigation, so we should be waiting for that before we draw any conclusions (inb4 everyone in the comments here knows exactly what happened (and it coincidentally just so happens to allign with their political viewpoints))
Thanks for that.
Extremely on brand for Israelis.
