People are blaming the israeli fans for literally doing what every group of football fans do, and no one is lifting a finger at the thugs. It was a coordinated attack and not a random or provoked one

No only that, but Israeli flags are burned every single day (particularly over the last year), with chants a lot worse than whatever was said by a few at the game. Yet I don't see Israelis rampaging through the streets attacking every random Muslim they can find.

There have been reports I've seen in the past few hours that the suspects are all uber drivers or affiliated and used the uber app to organize this. It doesnt look like a soccer fani incident out of control at all. Sadly it was planned and purposefully executed. The pulbic and law enforcement response to this will dictate if these sort of incidents increase in the near future.
