Imagine going to someone else’s country, and telling a kid, IN HIS OWN COUNTRY, to not film for his own safety. Mind blowing.

Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz:
The way raw video evidence debunked the “Amsterdam pogrom” narrative in real time in full view of the entire world is exactly why Israel hates journalists. It’s why it won’t let the western press visit Gaza, and it’s why it murders Palestinian journalists at every opportunity.

Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno:
What do you mean the argument is that Maccabi fans incited the violence?
They perpetrated violence. They attacked bystanders on the streets. They attacked a Moroccan taxi driver. They threw things at private homes and burned flags.
While chanting and singing not the language of pogrom, but of genocide, while marching through a city with an Arab population demanding their physical extermination.
Do you accept this or not, keeping in mind this is all on camera?
A yes or no will do!
Another question!
If Arab football fans rampaged through a European city chanting ‘kill all the Jews’, celebrating the slaughter of Israeli children while attacking local residents, would you describe this simply as “bad behaviour”.
Yes or no is fine!
It’s almost as if #ArabsDontCount

I’d argue that today’s media coverage of the Amsterdam situation is one of the most transparent and easily refutable cases of false reporting i’ve ever seen.
It took the full force of the internet to get major networks to start reporting it even remotely correctly. Disturbing.

@MaxBlumenthal:
A 14 year old journalist, @OmeBender, did what the rest of the media refused to do, providing extensive on the ground footage of Israeli Maccabi hooligans instigating violence in Amsterdam. Bender shows the Zionist thug squad gathering metal pipes, wooden clubs, and rocks in search of violent confrontation. Their rampage followed a night of burning Palestinian flags, attacking taxi drivers and chanting for the slaughter of Arab children.
The footage is notable not only because it exposes the Maccabi thugs provoking violence, but because they can be clearly seen coordinating their actions like a military unit, while reportedly escorted by Mossad agents. At one point, an Israeli thug threatens the young journalist and orders him not to film their rampage. Meanwhile, local police disappear for long periods.
@SaulStaniforth:
A taxi driver in Amsterdam was filming Maccabi supporters tearing down a Palestinian flag when his car was attacked and hooligans tried to drag him out of it. His lawyer is now documenting other cases of violence racism committed by Maccabi fans.

I’m so impressed by your honesty and courage at such a young age! It’s refreshing to see a journalist who genuinely shows the truth. Keep up the amazing work; I’m really proud of you!
Amsterdam had to take matters into their own hands for protection because the police weren’t doing enough, but then they turn around and blame it on antisemitism. It’s frustrating to see that shift in focus.

More arrests expected in Amsterdam over violence on Israeli football fans, Four suspects still held on suspicion of violent acts and 50 people fined after attacks on football fans by Daniel Lavelle, 9 Nov 2024, The Guardian
Amsterdam police expect to make more arrests after what authorities called “hateful antisemitic violence” against Israeli football fans, prosecutors said on Saturday.
Four suspects remained detained on Saturday on suspicion of violent acts, including two minors, and 40 people had been fined for public disturbance and 10 for offences including vandalism, prosecutors said.
Police said on Friday they had launched “a major investigation into multiple violent incidents” and that five were taken to hospital and 62 arrested. There was no evidence of “kidnappings or hostage takings”, but police were “probing reports”, they said.
Amsterdam’s mayor, Femke Halsema, said: “Men on scooters crisscrossed the city looking for Israeli football fans. It was a hit-and-run. I can easily understand that this brings back memories of pogroms.”
She added: “Our city has been deeply damaged. Jewish culture has been deeply threatened. This is an outburst of antisemitism that I hope to never see again.”
The Dutch prime minister announced he had cancelled his trip to the Cop29 climate summit due to the events.
“I will not be going to Azerbaijan next week for the UN Climate Conference COP29. Due to the major social impact of the events of last Thursday night in Amsterdam, I will remain in the Netherlands,” Dick Schoof said on X on Saturday.
The Dutch climate minister, Sophie Hermans, will still attend the 11-22 November environment meeting while a climate envoy will replace Schoof, the premier added, saying Thursday night’s violence in Amsterdam would be discussed at Monday’s cabinet meeting.
Antisemitic incidents have increased in the Netherlands since Israel launched its latest attack on Gaza in response to Hamas’s surprise attack on 7 October. Several Jewish organisations and schools have reported threats and hate mail.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s office described a “planned antisemitic attack against Israeli citizens” and asked that protection for the Dutch Jewish community increased. He even compared the incident to Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” a Nazi terror campaign perpetrated on Germany’s Jewish population in 1938 in which an estimated 91 Jews were murdered.
“Tomorrow, 86 years ago, was Kristallnacht – an attack on Jews, whatever Jews they are, on European soil. It’s back now – yesterday, we celebrated it on the streets of Amsterdam.”
The Amsterdam police chief, Peter Holla, said there had been “incidents on both sides”. A video on social media showed Maccabi fans setting off flares and chanting, “Olé, olé, let the IDF win, we will fuck the Arabs.” The police chief said a large crowd of Maccabi fans then gathered on Dam Square on Thursday lunchtime, where there were “fights on both sides”.
On Wednesday night, Maccabi fans stole a Palestinian flag from a building in the city centre and shouted, “fuck you, Palestine”. Holla said Maccabi supporters then vandalised a taxi.
The US president, Joe Biden, condemned the attacks on Thursday as “despicable” and said they “echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted”. The UN secretary general, António Guterres, was shocked by the violence in Amsterdam, a UN spokesperson said.
MUST LISTEN:
Abier@abierkhatib:
No one knows about pogroms more than Jewish people.
My dear friend @DrMartinGak thinks there was a pogrom, but not against Israelis..
And yes, we need an apology from media and Dutch authorities.
Amsterdam police detain pro-Palestinian protesters at banned demonstration, City extends ban until Thursday after violence surrounding Israeli soccer fans by The Associated Press, Nov 10, 2024, CBC News
Police detained dozens of people Sunday for taking part in a demonstration in central Amsterdam that had been outlawed following violence targeting fans of an Israeli soccer club, local media reported.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema banned all demonstrations over the weekend in the aftermath of the grim scenes of youths on scooters and on foot attacking Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters on Thursday and Friday in what was widely condemned as a violent outburst of antisemitism in the Dutch capital.
Late Sunday afternoon, the municipality, together with Amsterdam police and public prosecutor’s office, extended the ban on demonstrations until Thursday morning.
Israel’s ambassador to the Netherlands said that 2,000 Israelis were brought home on special flights from Amsterdam over the past few days.
Reports of violence on both sides
Before the match against Ajax, Maccabi fans also tore a Palestinian flag off a building in Amsterdam and chanted anti-Arab slogans on their way to the stadium. There were also reports of Maccabi fans starting fights.
Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool reported that about 100 people were detained, and media said they were taken away in buses. Police confirmed they were detaining demonstrators, but didn’t give numbers.
The protesters yelled slogans including “Free, free Palestine.”
Amsterdam Municipality said on X that police had begun arresting demonstrators who refused to leave the square, which is in the heart of the city’s downtown shopping area and close to the historic canal network.
Organizers of the protest went to court on Sunday morning seeking an injunction to allow the demonstration, but a judge upheld the ban imposed by the municipality.
At the hearing, senior Amsterdam police officer Olivier Dutilh said that there were again incidents overnight targeting people thought to be Jewish, including some being ordered out of taxis and others being asked to produce their passports to confirm their nationality.
Dutch PM calls Amsterdam violence a ‘terrible, antisemitic attack’
Duration 0:28Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof says he was ‘ashamed’ at the violence seen in Amsterdam overnight following a soccer match between Dutch and Israeli teams. Schoof, who was in Hungary for a summit of EU leaders, said the perpetrators will be prosecuted.
Police launched a large-scale investigation Friday after gangs of youths conducted what Amsterdam’s mayor called “hit and run” attacks on fans that were apparently inspired by calls on social media to target Jewish people. Five people were treated at hospitals and more than 60 suspects were arrested.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar rushed to the Netherlands on Friday and offered Israel’s help in the police investigation. He met on Saturday with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and said in a statement that the attacks and demands to show passports “were reminiscent of dark periods in history.”
In France, Paris police said Sunday that 4,000 officers and 1,600 stadium staff will be deployed for a France-Israel soccer match on Thursday to ensure security in and around the stadium and on public transportation.

Warning! Zionism and it’s lying enablers globally have been coming for our rights to freedom of expression, free speech and to assemble and protest for years. I think this vile attack by Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam and the subsequent lies globally to blame “antisemitism” by politicians and media (even by reporters not on the scene!) was set up intentionally to further strips citizen rights, and cement genocidal Zionism as the new world ruler of speech and expression (e.g. only those pro genocide and pro mass murder of kids allowed).
AER/Encana/Ovintiv/Steve Harper and his lying judges on supreme court of Canada/Alberta gov’t already trounced charter rights of Canadians via my case, Ernst vs AER (started in 2005). Harper is a nasty hate-filled, hate-farming Zionist evangelical, who loves genocidal Israel while hating Canada, Canadians and especially our charter. Zionists need our charter destroyed because other countries in the world copied it in setting up their charters/constitutions. Enter liar racist pro mass kid-killing, pro genocide, pro crimes against humanity Rosalie Abella (past supreme court of Canada judge who lied about me in her ruling in Ernst vs AER).
Did Zionist Abella, now at Harvard, come up with this disgusting new definition that reads genocidal and Israeli?
Dr Katherine Blouin@isisnaucratis:
I hope someone is archiving all these ubuesques acts of institutional McCarthyism
Cause that will come handy in a few years, once all of them will pretend they were on the right side of history all along
Lara Jirmanus, MD, MPH@larazjmd Nov 4, 2024:
Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest”
“…a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest.”
What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition?
Harvard “protest” challenge:
Name something you might no longer be allowed to do in a @harvard library or classroom, because “explicitly using a space to make a point” is now considered a “protest.”
(Brainstorm rules: no wrong answers)
The Countess is Anti-Genocide@MsMarkievicz:
Harvard is an embarrassment, a fraud, and a supporter of genocide.In my view, that’s why Abella is there, teaching lies and feeding hate to eager racist rich kids

What protest really means:
PS. Protest is good for us and society
Shutting protest down serves frac’ers, fascists, dictators and genocide.
