Turns out this entire thing was HUGELY misrepresented;Amsterdam police arrest more than 60 people after attacks on Israeli football fans
Plane carrying fans home lands in Israel as Amsterdam mayor condemns ‘hit and run’ attacks on visiting supporterswww.theguardian.com
Blaming the Jews for it:
article said:Amsterdam’s police chief, Peter Holla, said there had been “incidents on both sides”, starting on Wednesday night when Maccabi fans tore down a Palestinian flag from the facade of a building in the city centre and shouted “fuck you Palestine”.
Starting???
Israel Warned Dutch Police about the Amsterdam Pogrom but Was Ignored
Aמ Israeli who complained to the police about being attacked was assaulted brutally with nightsticks by the cops and is now unable to walk.www.jewishpress.com
Israel knew there would be attacks well before the supposed "start". Either they have a time machine or the supposed start isn't the start. The police apparently ignored the warnings.
Provided you take Paul Barry seriuosly,
Please provide reason(s) that your criticism is more credible than Mr Barry’s report on this issue.
A quick search
That provides evidence why you think one should not believe Mr. Barry. Not only does not really rebut Mr. Barry's report, - in many respects it confirms it.
Ignoring that major point, and the point that there are sources in this thread that clearly show that the OP is a very one-sided view of that violence and that Mr. Barry's criticism is justified, your response does not provide a single reason why your implicit view of Mr. Barry's credibility should be taken more seriously that Mr Barry's report or even his credibility.
Looking online Barry seemed to overlook the following in his broadcast
- At least 5 Jews ended up in hospital and no Muslims reporting to hopsital
- Jews were pulled out of canals when they had fled for safety and no Muslims fled into the canals
- The chants of Muslims saying kill the Jews and other assorted niceties
- The Muslims lighting flares and grabbing weapons (yes, just like some Jews did)
- The police started to intervene after the Jews were attacked
- Pictures of Jews being kicked and punched in the street
He is ramschackle partisan journalistic hack.
And soccer supporters from all over the world seem to like fighting wherever they may be.
