Social media is full of videos of Israeli soccer fans rampaging through Amsterdam pulling down Palestinian flags and causing a ruckus at the match during a minute's silence for the victims of the Valencia floods.

On their return to Israel they can be seen singing a song they sang in the Netherlands about there are no Gaza schools because there are no Gaza children left.

Amsterdam's large Moroccan community took them on.

This is straight out football hooliganism on all sides yet the world's media is calling it "antisemitism" seemingly oblivious to the endless films published and the main stream TV channels actually screening the hullabaloo by Israeli fans during the Valencia silence.

Hooligans being hooligans whats new?

Israel is lost in its murderous state. As things stand there is no coming back...the most despised state on earth...with the exception of the US. UK coming in at 3.

Totally agree. But I don't accept the impartiality either of clips doing the rounds on social media. It is very easy to present things as you want them to be received.

To the contrary, hedda gives an intuitive and incisive critique - on the complicated and unique rationale for violence here.

'Hooligans being hooligans' - simply evidences a clear inability to differentiate the reasoning, relating to different countries/animosity.

Absolute political fuckwits calling it a "progrom" against Jewish (thugs) football hooligans (and a known notorious hooligan mob) while the Amsterdam Police have confirmed that the Israelis started attacking taxi drivers and ripping down Palestinian flags.

Even the gormless Starmer has called it a "program" yet the Daily Mail for once honestly reports the actual facts that the Israeli started the rumble.

I despair.
