Unless the Israel fans are vastly problematic and cause shit everywhere. I don't know their general behaviour.
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.

I didn't know they were always that bad.
If one team of supporters just wants to watch a game and the other team is known to constantly get violent and outright attack others it's not exactly the same two sides...
It's hard to tell if people who got attacked were all really just walking back (maybe not physically attack but monitor) or many were continuing the shit behaviour and residents rightly felt threatened.
The people talking to Dutch media of course were pleasant. I mean, zero story in "hooligans get chased out of area" also the hooligans are hopefully all arrested and fined / deported.
If people are scared they may just not always defend themselves with "can you please go thank you" and things get heated but what do you expect? Some media really equates that with premeditated bigotry?
Sheesh. I didn't see that sorta crap on Dutch news but I haven't dug too much.

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.
