“Unless society comes to terms with the deeper causes of anti-migrant, Islamophobic and racist violence, we will be caught in a vicious cycle of events that repeatedly reinforce each other, with the prospect of ugly protests and riots forming an infinite loop.”

"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 #MaccabiTelAviv 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 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.   In this episode: Tony Karon (@TonyKaron), Managing Editor, AJ+ Episode credits: This episode was produced by David Enders and Chloe K.

“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.

Subway killer Daniel Penny thinks it's funny that he's being held accountable for murdering an unarmed homeless black man who committed the crime of being loud and obnoxious on a subway train. An innocent man unnecessarily had his life snuffed out, and this monster thinks it's a joke.
