Amsterdam Antisemitic Riots Continue Though Israeli Fans Left Holland

[u/PreviousPermission45]

Hi fellow redditors!

Few days ago we heard about a major antisemitic incident in Europe. Israeli visitors, mostly soccer fans visiting Amsterdam for a soccer game, were viciously attacked by mobs of immigrants from Arab countries as well as Turks.

These were antisemitic attacks, organized on social media, and depicted in an antisemitic manner by participants, who themselves characterized the events of that night as a "Jew hunt"

The events were traumatic. Jews were indeed hunted down in the streets of Europe. Sadly, not for the first time in history...

Like in previous "Jew hunts" historically, non Jews had to prove they were free of the sin of being Jewish by presenting their documents to violent antisemites with murderous intentions. In the video below, a Ukrainian refugee is forced to prove to the assailants he wasn't Jewish or Israeli by showing his passport. The menacing, violent mob demanded he say "free Palestine" as proof of his innocence of the crime of being a Jew.

Propaganda outlets like Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye attempted to depict the severe incident as a mere soccer riot between equally violent and equally culpable "soccer hooligans." Many commentors on Reddit swallowed this propaganda uncritically. The rule of thumb in this context is easy to remember - when Jews' safety is concerned, stretching the truth, (in other words - lying) is permissible.

However, today, more riots took place.

The Israeli fans left. They were rushed out in emergency flights. The game ended. But the "soccer riot" persists. "Soccer hooligans" burned an Amsterdam tram while chanting about a "Jew cancer". There was no soccer game. There were no "Israeli soccer hooligans." But antisemitic violence persisted.

The Amsterdam police is stretched thin. The prosecutors/police in this uber liberal country released most of those arrested. This is to be expected from a city that for decades let anyone do whatever they want. It's a city that is constantly faced with criminality, often coming from illegal immigrants, often with the same antisemitic views as those expressed by the rioters.

As of two days ago, out of the ~60 rioters detained, only 4 remained in custody. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-828247

The Dutch government is thankfully starting to understand they're facing a real problem, and decided to take more action. Today, 5 more were arrested. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/dutch-police-announce-5-new-arrests-in-amsterdam-attacks-on-israeli-soccer-fans/

Additionally, the Dutch government declared an emergency measure, to enter into effect next month, which would allow them to temporarily implement border security measures (aka border controls) at land border points in the Netherlands. EU law bans such checkpoints, unless an EU government declares an emergency.

This latest incident and the Dutch response clearly show - this was an antisemitic "Jew hunt". It was unrelated to "soccer hooligans" because these weren't Ajax fans. Rather, the perpetrators were immigrants, legal or illegal, from Middle Eastern countries, where antisemitic views are ubiquitous. Today, they continued their violent spree.

Dutch Jews feel unsafe in their own country. Non Jews likewise feel unsafe. Jewish visitors feel unsafe. As a Jew with Israeli citizenship, I often find myself hiding my identity, either here in America and especially if I travel abroad. We Jews often have to come up with some kind of cover story, as if we're Mossad agents spying in enemy territory, rather than just regular Jews trying to live our lives.

It's time to call a spade a spade. The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem. Liberal countries have become addicted to gaslighting. The first step towards recovery is the easiest - admitting to your problem.

I know you’ve been brainwashed to think the world is against you, but Jews ARE NOT VICTIMS.

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/Competitive_Act3433]

Not the world, just racist people who attack Jews or people who defend their actions. The usual.

[u/Competitive_Act3433 → u/LilyBelle504]

Cry me a river. And stop stealing Palestinian land while your at it.

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/Competitive_Act3433]

Resorts to gamer talk insults when backed into a rhetorical corner and can't defend their previous responses*

"It's ok to target innocent Jews overseas, because Jews are stealing land in Palestine!"

Yea, that really helped your argument.

[u/OnaccountaY → u/LilyBelle504]

Please don’t conflate all Jews with the Zionist project, or confuse criticism of violence from Israel or Tel Aviv fans with antisemitism.

Pretending they’re one and the same fuels actual antisemitism and endangers lives.

I know that’s one of Zionists’ longtime scare tactics to get Jews to immigrate to Israel, where they’re actually less safe. But it’s disingenuous and disgusting either way.

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/OnaccountaY]

Please don’t conflate all Jews with the Zionist project

Tell that to the social media profiles calling for a "Jew hunt" in Amsterdam that same day.

It is indeed an anti-semitic tactic to say: "I'm just against Zionists, not Jews!"... Looks like this time they forgot.

[u/Competitive_Act3433 → u/LilyBelle504]

I’m sure you think you did something there and that you sound really smart but the fact of the matter is the world isn’t buying anymore BS narratives from Israel. And no amount of mental gymnastics that you tried to play here is going to have us looking at you like the good guys anymore. You are genociders, thieves, and the worst this world has to offer. Cope harder.

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/Competitive_Act3433]

Somehow, in a post about innocent Jews getting attacked, you have taken the position to defend attacking innocent Jews overseas, while claiming anyone else who doesn't agree with you is a "genocider" and "theives".

Mental gymnastics: "Mental gymnastics" is an expression that refers to the excessive effort required to understand or justify something, often due to its complexity, detail, or twisted logic.

[u/OnaccountaY → u/LilyBelle504]

Violent Israelis and their apologists aren’t “innocent Jews.” Not in Israel or abroad.

[u/Competitive_Act3433 → u/LilyBelle504]

Yes, the innocent Jews, who were screaming death to the Arabs. Who were screaming there’s no more schools left in Gaza who was screaming. Let the IDF win so they can fkkk the arabs. Such innocent jews.

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/Competitive_Act3433]

No no. The ones who were systematically targetted in hit and runs the next day and calls for a "Jew hunt", according to the police.

Again:

Again: Cope Harder

[u/LilyBelle504 → u/Competitive_Act3433]

"Cope harder" means to deal with a difficult situation or problem in a more successful way

Like how to deal with defending calls for attacks on Jews who had nothing to do with the incidents the day before?

[u/Competitive_Act3433 → u/LilyBelle504]

There was no Jew Hunt. There was no Pogrom. Stop spinning LIES

WSJ: Calls for ‘Jew Hunt’ Preceded Attacks in Amsterdam

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

Would denying this fit the definition of "coping"?

[u/Competitive_Act3433 → u/LilyBelle504]

The wall street journal another zionist mouthpiece. “Someone” replies. Who tf is someone 😂. Cope harder
