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.

There were chat groups planning a Jew hunt for that day weeks in advance. Screenshots exist.
So include them in your post that otherwise just proves the point of the article?
The article included several unsourced quotes from some kind of chat groups which are also potentially translated, no way to verify. And then they included a random unsourced screenshot which has "translation" added on top it, removing original content that would help verify authenticity. That's not proof you claim it to be... Not only basic fact checking disproves it, but article itself quotes Uber spokesperson indicating there were no reports.
A story on how the claim that was rejected by Uber. And Israeli PR machine trying to make something out of nothing.
An Uber spokesperson tweeted saying they were “shocked to hear of this abhorrent violence” and were supporting Dutch authorities with their investigation.
They claimed, “there were no reported incidents of violence or antisemitism on the Uber app,” and did not respond to allegations that drivers perpetrated physical violence.
Of course Uber would deny that. You can find more details on Dutch media. This was the first English article I found.
Of course, you wouldn’t believe any Jewish media. Try AP instead
On the social media platform Telegram, “there is talk of people going on a Jew hunt,” .
Well, since they are cooperating with Dutch authorities, lying wouldn't be in their best self-interest. And so far nobody proven otherwise.
Random claims are not evidence.
EDIT: Same issue with AP article, no sources, just random unsourced quote.
I posted a link and it was deleted by mods.
You evidently have no issue with pogroms.
Do you deny the genocide perpetrated by the IDF?
There’s a war against a deeply entrenched enemy in a dense urban environment with civilian deaths, but no genocide. If the IDF wanted to genocide Gaza, we would be at a million deaths at least by now.
Remember that Palestinian terrorists managed to kill more than 1000 Israelis in one day with mostly small arms. The IDF could easily kill ten times as much per day, if they wanted to. The number of bombs the IDF dropped on Gaza is higher than the number of dead Gazans. That‘s only possible if they try to minimize civilian deaths.
"Dense urban environment" jezz I wonder why it's so dense lmao it's a ghetto.
"They didn't kill enough people" is a disgusting way to deny genocide.
The IDF could easily kill ten times as much per day, if they wanted to. If the IDF wanted to genocide Gaza, we would be at a million deaths at least by now.
"It wasn't intentional"
Remember that Palestinian terrorists managed to kill more than 1000 Israelis in one day with mostly small arms
"It was self defense"
The ICJ also always only talked about the danger of genocide, not that one is actually occurring.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_denial
"It wasn't or isn't 'genocide,' because ..." They may enter definitional or rhetorical argumentation.
The ICJ have received threat from the United States, who literally threatened to invade the haag. Their words cannot be trusted anymore. Anybody would bow to this kind of pressure.
Meanwhile, the israeli, with their yank, german and british complicity, attacked Irish peacekeeper. If there was any justice, the rest of europe would attack the axis of evil (germany, britain, USA).
I'd like to see that. I have been following everything closely, and a lot of rumors are used as truths. From both sides... can you post some links?
I asked for the screenshots, none given. These look like doctored communications, the maker did not realize these (mostly uneducated) people do not chat in English?
These are translated from Dutch and Arabic of course.
If you look at Dutch media, you can find more.
Also here. I asked for the screenshots, none given. These are clearly manipulated.
These are translated from Arabic and Dutch of course.
Doesn't mean the Israelis were innocent
Pogroms are always the fault of the Jews. /s
The world starts to see through your bullshit. You cannot manipulate the truth forever you know
Calling this a pogrom is like calling my stubbed toe a war crime buddy
Blablabla
