There was organised racist violence in Amsterdam from both sides
According to which news outlet? Because I just heard the Prime Minister refer to this as a pogrom "which reminded me of Oct 7th" live on the radio.
You think it's a normal response to send "rescue planes" and teams of medical professionals? I don't really understand how anyone can read these headlines and not just see the performative victimhood plain as day.

The response can be separate to the initial events

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11/8/israeli-football-fans-clash-with-protesters-in-amsterdamapparently the Israeli supporters were doing a gathering in the city centre, shouting "no more Palestinian children" and the like. During the match there was 2 mins silence for the victims of flooding in Spain and they were whistling through it. Couldn't have happened to nicer people.

My point isn't about media bias or otherwise, but reports of Israeli violence and provocations in Amsterdam are widespread. I didn't mention the rescue planes, but as I predicted you're assuming what I think.

"Earlier, footage shared on social media showed Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters tearing down Palestinian flags in central Amsterdam.
Anti-Arab chants could also be heard as large crowds of the Israeli fans shouted: "Let the IDF win, and (expletive) the Arabs," as they were escorted by police to the stadium."
And it's all over twitter

Agree with you, about the normal response being turned in to performative victimhood.

Christ this thread is a bin fire. There was organised racist violence in Amsterdam from both sides, and innocent people attacked on both sides. People need to read outside their bubble. 100% guarantee I'll be accused of supporting genocide for saying this.
