What a match in Amsterdam says about Israel’s future in football - The Take
Israeli football fans took to the streets of Amsterdam, chanting slogans like “no children left in Gaza” and tearing down Palestinian flags before a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dutch team Ajax. After the game, when more violence broke out, many called it an act of anti-Semitism, while others saw impunity for Israelis.

“What we’re talking about here in Amsterdam is not a clash between the hooligans of two opposing sides, but rather these Israeli thugs attacking people who, in principle, had nothing to do with the game, and then afterwards being confronted by their victims"

Mouin Rabbani on What Really Happened in Amsterdam Between Israeli Soccer Fans & Local Residents
Dutch Palestinian analyst Mouin Rabbani discusses the violence that broke out last week between visiting Israeli soccer fans and pro-Palestinian protesters in Amsterdam. The Dutch authorities made over 60 arrests, and at least five people were hospitalized as a result of the clashes, which local and international leaders were quick to brand as antisemitic, even though observers in Amsterdam have said it was Israeli hooligans who instigated much of the violence. Rabbani says that while it’s common for rival teams’ fans to get into skirmishes, what happened in Amsterdam was different. “What we’re talking about here in Amsterdam is not a clash between the hooligans of two opposing sides, but rather these Israeli thugs attacking people who, in principle, had nothing to do with the game, and then afterwards being confronted by their victims,” Rabbani says.

Innocent Israelis, Bad Arabs? How the Media Scripted Amsterdam's Soccer Violence
The NYT, BBC, CNN, among others emphasized the attacks on Israeli fans, while minimizing the anti-Arab racism that seemingly provoked much of the violence.
ZeteoNPR reporting on how the FBI basically stopped tracking crimes against Arabs and Muslims in the U.S., but they can't help themselves from complicity by going on about how "it's complicated", rather than admit that, just like with police violence, gun violence, and anti-trans/anti-queer violence, the government doesn't want to know--because it doesn't want the public to know.
