Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam are not the victims, here

Western media, governments, and Israel have erupted in outrage after Israeli supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv FC got beaten up in Amsterdam. The BBC, like other outlets, particularly pushed the narrative that this was a solely antisemitic attack. Of course, in reality what actually happened was classic ‘chat shit, get banged’ – after the far-right, racist and Zionist football thugs went on the rampage in Holland.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans: the victims of an antisemitic attack?

BBC News extensively covered the incidents. It reported that:

Dutch and Israeli officials have condemned a series of attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam overnight.

Supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv were attacked in the capital as their team were in the city for Europa League match against Ajax.

Police in Amsterdam have arrested at least 57 people.

Footage circulating on social media shows a series of violent assaults on Israelis in the street, as well as people breaking into hotels apparently searching for Maccabi fans.

Head of Holland’s far-right government Dick Schoof condemned the attacks as ‘antisemitic’ – as did Israel’s genocidal far-right PM Benjamin Netanyahu. He ordered planes to be sent to the Netherland to evacuate football fans. These were later cancelled.

Now, the Canary wouldn’t condone violence against anyone. However, if you look at the Western media coverage of the attacks on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans – it’s clear that there’s a narrative being built. That is, that the violence was antisemitic and the Israeli fans were the victims.

Except, that’s not quite the case – as even an unlikely source pointed out:

A bunch of far-right racists from Israel in Amsterdam

Because what came before the attacks on Israelis was blatant Islamophobia and genocidal intent:

Some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans also refused to observe the minute’s silence before their match against Ajax for the victims of the Valencia floods:

Amsterdam councilman (the equivalent of a British city councillor) Jazie Veldhuyzen told Al Jazeera that:

[Maccabi Tel Aviv fans] began attacking houses of people in Amsterdam with Palestinian flags, so that’s actually where the violence started. As a reaction, Amsterdammers mobilised themselves and countered the attacks that started on Wednesday by the Maccabi hooligans.

Of course, that’s not the impression you get if you read the Western corporate media. The BBC in particular was heavily pushing Zionist’s comparison to the Kristallnacht of WWII. Except Maccabi Tel Aviv fans have a history of racist violence:

Some of the BBC’s coverage was forced to admit that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans may have started it:

But overall, Western media and politicians were falling over themselves to paint the attacks as antisemitic and the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans as the victims:

Maccabi Tel Aviv: an exercise in Zionist propaganda

Once again, this kind of propaganda does nothing in the fight against actual antisemitism. And of course, victims Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were not – nor innocent civilians, some of them:

Admittedly, if the BBC is to be believed then some innocent British citizens got caught up in the violence. If this is the case, then this is not acceptable. However, early reports said some Israeli’s were missing and may have even been kidnapped. Or rather, they were off their nuts holed up in hotel rooms. Again – chat shit, get banged:

Overall, much like the 40 beheaded babies psyop we witnessed after 7 October, the violence in Amsterdam is arch Zionist propaganda – but with a twist:

That is, it is a distraction. But what on earth could the Israeli settler colonialists be trying to draw attention away from?

Let’s be real. What happened in Amsterdam was cause and effect. Far-right, racist Israeli thugs went on a rampage in someone else’s country (much like they’re doing in Gaza and Lebanon), and local people didn’t like it. A Kristallnacht this is not, and won’t be – however much the media and politicians tell us it is.

They must think we’re fucking stupid.
