"But the Amsterdam riots also have a context, and Israel is unwilling to address it. It would rather send a bodyguard with every Israeli soccer fan who travels to Europe from now on than to ask why it is that they hate us so much and how this hatred can be quelled. After all, it did not erupt like this before the war in Gaza."
"why are Israeli clubs like Maccabi Tel Aviv permitted to compete on international stages while Israel is committing acts of genocide, occupation and dispossession of Palestinians?”
There is a massive need for racial literacy in so called Australia.
The fact that government leaders can describe racism and it's motivators but not see it as racism or say the word just shows how deeply structural racism runs.
Jelle Ziljstra, who is Jewish and works as a community organizer in Amsterdam, made a post that went viral on Instagram stating that “multiple truths can exist at the same time.” It highlighted both the assaults on Israelis and footage of the fans shouting “F— Palestine” the night before.

More reason why we need a #PoliceOmbudsmanNow
Police cannot be trusted to act lawfully on their own accord. Independent audits of their powers and cases need to happen, and sanctions must be applied to individual officer as well as the whole organisation.
“When you start off on a journey like this, you believe you’re going to get great steps of justice. That doesn’t happen. The journey becomes longer and the steps become smaller. It gets down to a shuffle and then along comes something else that could be a bit of hope.”
Police hold discretion on when, how and who to investigate. Vast groups of people have always been deemed as 'unworthy' of police investigations when victims of harm.
We don't need better police, we need less police, but we also demand justice for police inaction.
Unicorn RiotPoet, activist and organizer Brandyn Tulloch spoke to the crowd of dozens seeking #JusticeForRickyCobbII in North Minneapolis on August 1, 2023. Tulloch was referring to the videos that were released today by the MN State Patrol that showed that officers were speaking with Cobb II, telling him to step out of his car during a traffic stop.
