Western media lies!🥀

🚨 Interview with @iAnnetnl

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Last night in Amsterdam, Tel Aviv fans chanted about killing Palestinians, destroyed Palestinian flags, interrupted a minute's silence for flood victims in Spain and were reported by Ajax fans as generally "looking for a fight".

Yet when they got that fight, it's reported in the media as a "pogrom" (which is a massive misuse of the word, but anyway) and even used to make anti immigration points about Arabs!

The mainstream media cannot be trusted on this issue. Watch the videos on twitter, read the accounts from people who were there. Tel Aviv fans are not the victims here and no other group of football fans would ever get this level of sympathy with the press.

This is not a pogrom, it is not antisemitism, it is hooligans looking for a fight and then being upset when they got their arses handed to them - utterly pathetic behaviour.

Anyway, free Palestine.

Many are shocked, wondering how this could happen in the Netherlands.

To me, their bafflement is what’s shocking.

I grew up in The Hague, where real and abundant antisemitism, from epithets in the street to physical threats to the community’s safety, was part of our daily life. As a young boy, I vividly recall how The Hague's football hooligans—viciously opposed to Ajax, Amsterdam’s “Jewish” team—walked the streets under a banner reading “We’re hunting for Jews.” (Indeed, for my entire life, football stadiums in my home country have been filled with lurid chants like “Hamas, Hamas, all the Jews on gas!” and “My dad was in the commandos, my mom was in the SS, we like to burn Jews, because Jews burn the best.”)  

In high school, second- or third-generation Moroccan kids would point and hiss “Psst, psst, that’s a Jew, that’s a Jew!” as they passed by on their bikes. 

But most impactful were the myriad security measures our community had to undertake. Seen from the front, The Hague synagogue is not recognizable, two thick green doors presenting a closed facade to the street. Behind these doors are glass doors that open only once additional permission is given. All the windows are made of bulletproof glass. A permanent police post guards the synagogue. In Amsterdam, the Jewish primary school has even more dystopian levels of protection, hidden behind several layers of metal spikes and fencing. From the outside, the view of the school is entirely closed off. (Even as I write this, I feel uncomfortably conscious of not revealing any sensitive security details.)

Self-protection was a constant—and to me, natural—part of Jewish life. Leading youngsters to a summer camp in northern Friesland meant bringing a dedicated security team and, when possible, keeping quiet the fact that it was Jewish children gathering here. 

Violent, antisemitic assaults have become increasingly regular occurrences. In May, a student at the University of Amsterdam, a young man, was assaulted by a protester in a keffiyeh, struck in the head with a wooden plank. In August, a statue of Anne Frank was defaced—for the second time—with anti-Israel graffiti. Today, walking around with a kippah in the Netherlands is an act that requires bravery.

As the situation worsened over the years—motivating some, including me, to move, others to adjust, and so many to worry—one of the most painful aspects was the way the Jewish community was gaslit. Dutch society repeatedly told its post-Holocaust Jewish remnant—and itself—that “never again” was not merely a concrete promise, but a core concept of modern Dutch morality. However, the dominant culture of the country’s immigrant communities has proven manifestly hostile to that worldview—and to Jews. 

For the North Africans living in Holland, the dominant Jewish story of the twentieth century is not Auschwitz, it is Israel, which in their distorted conception is an illegitimate, one-directional criminal enterprise directed at an innocent population. Nor—and this is crucial—is this merely an attitude about a conflict. They believe it is the crime of the twentieth century, conferring ultimate guilt on the Jewish people. “Palestine” is a phrase felt to carry the gravity of “Holocaust,” grotesquely inverting the perception of the Jewish experience.

For Holland’s Jewry, this reality has been palpable for decades. Yet nothing—no politician, no policy—has altered this reality. In the aftermath of every single violent attack—as will most likely be the case now—the political answer has been a room-temperature broth of subsidies, youth centers, dialogue forums, visits to Islamic pensioners clubs, and interfaith dialogue.

So it did not surprise me when international media outlets, like The Associated Press and The New York Times, covered this widespread attack as if it was the unfortunate, but perhaps expected, result of the Israeli fans’ conduct before and during the match, such as reportedly taunting Ajax fans with inappropriate slogans. Further, the AP wrote, the attack followed a Palestinian flag being “torn down from a building in Amsterdam on Wednesday,” and the rioters were angry because “authorities banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration near the stadium.” The Times originally pinned the attack on differences over sport and on taunts, as “violence tied to a match between Dutch and Israeli teams,” and reported that “the tensions in the hours leading up to the violence” was in part caused by “one man [being heard] saying in Hebrew, ‘The people of Israel live,’ while others shout[ed] anti-Palestinian chants using expletives.” (The Times has apparently stealth-edited its reporting numerous times since publication.)

In other words, if all you read were the initial reports, you might think that the Israelis started it, or at least had it coming.

What the reporters and media fail to understand is that this was an attack on Israeli football fans, but not one carried out by football hooligans. The Ajax team is itself Jewish friendly—fans of Amsterdam’s Ajax are affectionately (and sometimes not-so affectionately) referred to as “super Jews,” and Ajax is understood as the “Jewish team,” so it would make little sense that Ajax supporters would attack Jews or Israelis for their ethnicity—even if they are fans of an opposing team. 

No, this was straightforward: According to the accounts of witnesses and victims, it was an attack by immigrant, Muslim communities against Israelis and Jews.

Berlin Jewish youth soccer team attacked by knife-wielding pro-Palestinian mob

🇪🇸 En Berlín, un equipo juvenil de fútbol sub-17 llamado TuS Makkabi fue atacado el jueves por un grupo armado con cuchillos y palos después de un partido contra DJK Schwarz-Weiß Neukölln, según medios como Tagesspiegel. Al parecer, jugadores del equipo contrario gritaban “Free Palestine” y algunos padres de los jugadores afirmaron que los jóvenes fueron escupidos y que el árbitro no intervino. Ante esta situación, el club Schwarz-Weiß Neukölln prometió expulsar a los jugadores involucrados en el incidente. Según Alon Meyer, presidente de Makkabi Alemania, testigos confirmaron que las amenazas y persecución con cuchillos efectivamente sucedieron. Iris Spranger, senadora de Interior de Berlín, condenó los ataques y señaló que la violencia antisemita sigue presente en la ciudad. La unidad de crímenes de odio, Staatsschutz, está investigando el incidente. Este suceso refleja una creciente ola de antisemitismo en Europa, como los recientes ataques a aficionados del Maccabi Tel Aviv en Ámsterdam tras un partido contra el Ajax, que incluso forzaron la prohibición temporal de manifestaciones en la ciudad. Los fanáticos israelíes tuvieron que ser evacuados en vuelos de emergencia tras el incremento de ataques y disturbios en varias ciudades europeas.

🇺🇸 In Berlin, an under-17 Jewish youth soccer team called TuS Makkabi was attacked on Thursday by a group wielding knives and sticks after a match against DJK Schwarz-Weiß Neukölln, according to sources such as Tagesspiegel. Opposing players reportedly shouted “Free Palestine” at the team, and some parents of the players claimed that their children were spat on while the referee failed to intervene. In response, the Schwarz-Weiß Neukölln club vowed to expel the involved youth from the team. According to Alon Meyer, president of Makkabi Germany, witnesses confirmed that threats and chasing with knives indeed took place. Iris Spranger, Berlin’s Interior Senator, condemned the attack and noted that antisemitic violence persists in the city. The hate crime police unit, Staatsschutz, is currently investigating the incident. This incident highlights a rise in antisemitism across Europe, as seen in recent attacks on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam following a match against Ajax, which even led to a temporary ban on demonstrations in the city. Israeli fans had to be evacuated in emergency flights after increased attacks and unrest in several European cities.

Known for their far-right views, fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv organized a pogrom of migrants, Arabs, Muslims and supporters of Palestine on the streets of Amsterdam. They were angry about their team's defeat by local Ajax. The video shows a crowd of fans wearing Maccabi colors beating random people.

this Oakland A's thing is I think the biggest culture shock like I'm mad even seeing the images, people would literally riot and burn down a city if you tried to take our home teams away here like how the fuck is that shit allowed

El Gobierno israelí denuncia el "pogromo de Ámsterdam" tras el partido entre el Ajax y el Maccabi Tel Aviv

🇪🇸 El Gobierno israelí ha denunciado un pogromo en Ámsterdam tras el partido de la Europa League entre el Ajax y el Maccabi Tel Aviv, ocurrido el 7 de noviembre de 2024. Tras el encuentro, manifestantes pro Palestina atacaron a los aficionados israelíes en emboscadas por toda la ciudad, con más de 60 detenidos y 10 heridos. La violencia se desató después de una manifestación propalestina y estuvo marcada por agresiones, persecuciones y ataques con armas blancas, en los que se gritaron consignas como "Free Palestine" y "Ala Akbar". El ataque ha sido calificado por el Gobierno israelí como un "pogromo antisemita", evocando recuerdos de los violentos ataques contra judíos en el pasado. Las autoridades holandesas fueron alertadas sobre el riesgo de ataques, pero no informaron ni al Maccabi ni a sus hinchas. La situación ha desatado condenas internacionales, incluyendo declaraciones de la Casa Blanca, la Comisión Europea y el presidente estadounidense, Joe Biden, que han repudiado la violencia y el antisemitismo. La denuncia ha sido acompañada de críticas al antisemitismo creciente en Europa y llamados a tomar medidas más estrictas para proteger a los ciudadanos israelíes y judíos.

🇺🇸 The Israeli government has condemned a pogrom in Amsterdam following the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv on November 7, 2024. After the game, pro-Palestinian demonstrators ambushed Israeli fans across the city, resulting in 60 arrests and 10 injuries. The violence broke out after a pro-Palestinian protest, marked by assaults, chases, and attacks with knives, with slogans like "Free Palestine" and "Ala Akbar" shouted. The Israeli government has labeled it an "antisemitic pogrom," evoking memories of past violent attacks against Jews. Dutch authorities were warned about the risk of attacks, but neither the Maccabi team nor their fans were notified. The incident has sparked international condemnations, including statements from the White House, the European Commission, and U.S. President Joe Biden, all condemning the violence and antisemitism. The denunciations are accompanied by criticism of the rising antisemitism in Europe and calls for stricter measures to protect Israeli and Jewish citizens.
