    The only stories about this I’ve seen on Lemmy take a very pro-Israel perspective. Have the Israelis started doing to Lemmy what they’ve done to Reddit?

    NBC’s coverage, as an alternative, says this immediately after it’s opening statement:

    Videos circulating on social media showed violence in the city’s streets, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam’s central station appearing to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. Separate video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” as well as tearing down a Palestinian flag.

    …which clarifies that the attack was the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters.

      The woman quoted by NBC on twitter literally states the video is of Israeli supporters beating up someone.

      NBC and Reuters somehow spin this into Israelis being attacked.

      This is absolute insanity.

        Yeah, even NBC’s headline isn’t great. But at least it doesn’t open with bogus “antisemitism” wording.

        Considering there’s a lot of Morocco Arabs in the Netherlands, that’s a bold move for sure.
