Israeli Soccer fans cause massive riots, Amsterdam locals fight back, get labeled a “Pogrom”

Written by Daniel Mercado | Edited by Claire Blair

Yesterday, Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. played against AFC Ajax, losing 5-0. This loss spurred a massive riot in Amsterdam, with reports of Israeli Hooligans burning Palestinian flags, shouting anti-Arab racial slurs, harassing taxi drivers, and even shouting and booing during a minute of silence for the 200 plus lives lost in the Valencia Floods.

According to an Al Jazeera article, the Israeli soccer fans were heard yelling, “Let the IDF win, and f*** the Arabs!” [1]

Western News Media is labeling anti-Zionist backlash in response to these protests as Anti-Semitic Attacks, when in fact the Israeli Soccer fans attacked first by causing massive riots and civil unrest. Despite this, some News organizations are even going so far describing anti-Zionist efforts being reminiscent of a “pogrom.” [2]
