    LOL, there is no other perspective.

    Israel warned Dutch authorities days prior because of what they had seen on social media. Dutch police warned Israeli fans to avoid taxis because they knew the taxi drivers were coordinating an attack. There are now screen grabs starting to circulate of text exchanges in taxi driver chat groups talking about how to avoid police and hanging up Palestinian flags to incite a response. This was a planned, coordinated pogrom. Fans were beaten unconscious, run over by cars, and chased into the canal to escape, with the mob screaming, “Say free Palestine and we’ll leave.” https://x.com/stop_jew_hate/status/1854881566553411612

        Right, because we all know mainstream media like the BBC isn’t biased. This is the same news organization that published an article complaining about the environmental impact of the IDF whereas the Hamas rockets are much better for the environment. Fucking joke.

          What does this have to do with BBC? Their coverage on the Israeli hooligans had headlines that at a glance made the responses of locals sound anti-Semitic; they didn’t lead with the instigation.

      This is the funniest cope I’ve ever seen for ‘my countries ultras tried to start shit with non-football hooligans and got their asses kicked.’

      Fighting people who aren’t women and children without total air superiority isn’t that easy, is it?
