[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

Israel soccer fans rampaged through Amsterdam attacking Muslims and chanting "death to Arabs" and then acted like victims when people actually fought back.
Predictably some Israeli news outlets are painting some Fascist Israeli football hooligans as victims and calling it Kristallnacht despite three days of pulling down Palestine flags from people's houses in Amsterdam and abusing Muslims.
Utterly predicable the usual suspects are spreading fake news and antisemeitc tropes.
Is there evidence that they were attacked for being Jewish rather than being supporters of Israel? Not that the violence is excusable in either case.
Poor innocent little Israeli fascist football hooligans.
From the strongly pro-Israel BBC:
Seems like the fascist football hooligans got one
Just spoke to a friend, 48 years old, who went to Amsterdam with his 15 years old son and a 15 years old nephew. he is a Lawyer, and his son is a gifted kid. not hooligans in any mean. they were attacked by a group of 10-15 Muslims after the game, unprovoked. my friend was stabbed in his hand. they are fine and managed to escape.
their only crime was the kids wearing a football shirt.
I f%^^ing hate that the anti-israeli group has immediately jumped to victim blame the Israeli's, in such a pavlovian way. at least wait a while till the evidence is gathered before starting to post your "facts".
The Israeli violence began the day before the game. Reprisals are also bad but get your basic facts right.
The mayor of Amsterdam issued a statement that the event resemblances a pogrom.
the chief of police of Amsterdam issued a statement that the violence was perpetuated by Muslims against Israeli's.
The Mossad issued a warning a few hours in advance that the Muslims are organizing an attack against the Israeli's.
I can go on and on and on, but we all know that there are people here that can't be bothered with the facts. Israeli's are involved- that means that Israeli's are to blame.
You only have to look above at the reports from Wednesday. It's not hard to be objective in this and leave your Israel skew behind.
Bunch of fascist football hooligans decided to run amok in Amsterdam the day before their team's game, taunting Muslims with racist genocide slogans.
“Finish the Arabs! We’re going to win!”

Assuming this is factually correct, does that excuse a physical violent attack? stabbing people? attacking little kids?
And if you say yes, then you just justified Israel's right to attack the civilian population of every Arab state, as chanting death to Israel and death to jews is very common. but unlike people like, us "jewish people", don't think rhetoric, as disgusting as it may be, justifies physical violence.
It's funny the disconnect from reality of stupid woke people like Jal.
I just spent 15 minutes in Arabs and Muslims twitter accounts and Facebook. they are celebrating the attack, and even participants in the pogrom are coming in to claim their "prizes" of becoming heroes. A Moroccan football player just praised the attack and wrote that if its not little kids and women, the Israeli's run away.
In arabic, they all totally admit it was a planned attack.

I'm a peaceful person and wouldn't get violently involved, but I'd defend anyone who reacted to those genocidal taunts with a punch in the face of the aggressor.
If you were racially abused to your face I'd defend your right to do that.
Of course it's not right to attack people indiscriminately which is one reason the original fascist football hooligans' behaviour was so abhorrent.
Yep and the moderators love letting the 2 of them spread fake propoganda against zionists constantly
Outright disgusting
hmm def fake

Im not saying anything was anything or not. it just want a "pogrom against Jews" or whatever bullshit the mainstream Western media and the typical hateful twitter accounts are running with.
