Not denying the shit behaviour of some of the Israel fans. Police was at high alert and had to keep the peace. But not sure where I'm defending the Israel fans that rioted?
One Israel fan who was attacked and spoke to Dutch media did acknowledge some of the fans burned Palestine flags and sang horrible songs.
Assuming that person was just minding their own business not walking around with anti Palestine symbols, just trying to get to the hotel, not acting like an asshole then idk maybe it goes a bit far?
Unless the Israel fans are vastly problematic and cause shit everywhere. I don't know their general behaviour.
Cos then that person really needs to ask themselves the question of why are they hanging out with mostly problematic shits.
JWestland-

Maccabi Tel Aviv in particular, are notoriously horrible cunts.
But my point is that it's disingenuous to downplay the Ultra's actions to try and "both sides" the situation, or – as a huge number of new outlets and politicians have done – suggest that the residents who took matters into their own hands had no right to defend their communities, and were in fact enacting premeditated acts of antisemitism.

Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans were rampaging around the streets attacking shops, bystanders and being horribly violent, threatening and islamaphobic – amongst other things singing genocidal chants and tearing down flags. This is all well documented.
Tell me how the narrative might be different if, for example, Lazio ultras pulled up to a city for an away game and ran around being violently antisemitic in the face of Jewish residents.
