Anti-Semitism

There's a fair amount of gaslighting from the pro-Palestinian side about this pogrom, downplaying it as just being about anti-Zionism or a clash between soccer hooligans.

But the attackers were pretty open about what they were doing. And local authorities have few doubts.

The casino said it had fired a security guard after learning of posts he sent later that evening to a chat group. In a screenshot of the exchange posted online, the guard promises to alert others on the thread if Israeli fans “show up again.”

“Tomorrow after the game in the night,” someone replies, “part two of Jew hunt.”

They also agree that Israeli fans were assaulted on multiple occasions in different locations, often in hit-and-run attacks on bikes and on foot, and that some attackers appear to have singled out their victims for being Jewish.

This was not the eruption of violence that Europe often sees around big soccer matches, with groups of supporters from rival clubs clashing in the streets, the authorities said. The city’s top prosecutor, René de Beukelaar, said on Friday that officials were investigating whether the attackers were linked in a formal way, and whether there was an “organized connection” between the various acts of violence.

Interviews with eyewitnesses and local officials, as well as screenshots of text exchanges over social media and online videos verified by The Times, suggest that the attackers specifically targeted both Israelis and Jewish people. Some victims reported being stopped and asked if they were Israeli or Jewish. Videos verified by The Times showed others being asked to show their passports, or trying to escape harm by saying they were not Jewish.

60+ arrests had been announced, but it turns out all of them were before the attacks? I'm not sure how that's even possible.

By Friday morning, the police said, five people were hospitalized, and dozens more had been injured, some with broken legs. The police said 63 had been arrested — though all of the arrests appear to have been made before the match, and not in its chaotic aftermath.

Unfortunately the far right are also the Nazis.

And everyone in between is spineless and ineffectual at doing anything about either problem, at best, and enablers of at least one of the above at worst.

*shrug* What can ya do.

Liberal position is that all life has dignity and they’re against killing 35,000 Palestinians through indiscriminate attacks the same way they’re against attacking music festivals, taking hostages, and killing 1,200 Israeli’s.

If you’re physically attacking people or waving a Hamas flag you’re just a terrorist. No political ideology need apply.

There’s a certain irony in the fact that the liberals are now the nazis.
Funnily enough, that's what the Israeli government/armed forces have been compared to as well. It doesn't mean it's correct, nor a fact.
