Still no retractions from UK politicians and media, even as Israel ‘fans’, protected by French police, beat spectators at France-Israel match
On Wednesday Stephan van Baarle, leader of the Dutch DENK party, speaking during an emergency debate on the issue, told the Netherlands’ parliament that the rampage of Israeli football fans through the country’s capital represented Amsterdam being “terrorised by genocide glorifiers who thought they, like some sort of colonists, could make Amsterdam unsafe.”
Despite clear evidence of the violence and racism of the Maccabi Tel Aviv ‘fans’ and the presence of ‘minders’ from the Israeli intelligence services, UK and other western media have presented the evening’s events as an antisemitic ‘pogrom’. Sky News, which had originally published an accurate report of Israeli thuggery and brutality, deleted that video and published another with the pro-Israel ‘pogrom’ narrative, claiming it was more ‘balanced’ – and then deleted that too.
Tel Aviv fans beat locals in the street, tore down Palestinian flags from homes, chanted racist slogans and mocked Israel’s mass slaughter of children in Gaza. Despite the source of the violence, Amsterdam’s mayor moved a pro-Palestine protest away from the stadium.
But van Baarle confronted Dutch lawmakers with the unvarnished truth:
Despite the mass of evidence of what really happened, the UK’s media have still not issued retractions or corrections, nor have Keir Starmer or Foreign Secretary David Lammy, both of whom condemned the supposed ‘antisemitism’ in Amsterdam.
Not even after last night’s horrors in which ‘fans’ of the Israeli national team, apparently including IDF troops, attempted to terrorise other spectators as it played France, yet were largely protected by French police:

Shame our gutless wonder of a PM isn’t also at The Hague — for complicity in war crimes.
STAGGERING Starmer Response May Be His BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!
Israel Is Carrying Out a War on Hospitals
By Jake Sonnenberg, a resident physician in California, published in Jacobin:
In both Gaza and Lebanon, Israel’s attacks on hospitals and health care are part of a deliberate effort to collectively punish and depopulate large geographic areas…
Two reports issued recently, one from Human Rights Watch (HRW) and another from CNN, detail the pattern of attacks on the Lebanese health care system. HRW, in its report, concluded that the Israeli strikes on the Marjayoun and Salah Ghandour hospitals, along with another separate strike on a rescue center in Beirut, all constitute likely war crimes…
Those methods developed in Gaza include deliberate and systematic violence against the medical system and health more broadly. In Gaza, Israeli forces have killed around a thousand Palestinian health care workers and bombed nearly every single hospital. An independent UN commission concluded in October that Israel “has implemented a concerted policy to destroy the health-care system of Gaza” and “deliberately killed, wounded, arrested, detained, mistreated and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles,” constituting multiple war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the crime of extermination. In July, a group of eleven independent UN special rapporteurs and experts found that Israel was engaged in an “intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people,” amounting to “a form of genocidal violence.” These efforts have been so total and so transparently deliberate that they have been described variously as a “War on Hospitals,” a “War on Health,” and an “Epidemiological War,” eventually demanding the invention of a new term to describe the carnage: medicide.

The worst bought and paid for excuse for a prime minister money can buy.
A racist gang, masquerading as a Political Party and Government, who provide cover and active support for Genocidal Maniacs.
A liar and a fraud surrounded by liars and frauds, who in a properly run system would all have been suitably processed and dispatched through a Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal a long time ago.
As I’ve previously said: let’s see how the vermin get on in Istanbul in a fortnight, when maccabi have to go to besiktas.
Shame it’s not galatasary, but no matter. The turks won’t have any of their shite.
Providing, of course, they’ve the cojones to actually turn up.
rescue planes *chuckles* 😏
Likely, probably, could be construed as, tantamount to… – when are these organisations going to grow some balls? There would not be this tip-toeing around if Russia were involved, and Israel is many times worse.
Oh what a wicked web we weave…..
The thing is too. These genocidal maniacs showed Europe that they have no problem attacking them too. Time to wake up.
A Platinum get out of jail free card.
The clear message being portrayed by the entire political and media class across the Collective Worst is that all you have to do to get away with any crime is to say you are from the Zionist Sect. Conversely, anyone – including the majority from within the wider Jewish community – who criticises these crimes, whether perpetuated in Gaza, Beirut, Damascus, Tehran, Amsterdam, Paris (where next), is denounced and cancelled from the Bully Pulpit as “anti-Semitic”.
A message which actually portrays and fosters the very anti-Semitism these frauds claim to be against.
