“More children have been killed in Gaza in 6 months than the total number of children killed in all other war zones worldwide over 3 years, multiplied by 4.”

@owenjonesjourno @SkyNews @vonderleyen I hope you are also outraged by, and strongly condemn the actions of Israeli hooligans. It would be good to see a public condemnation too, just to avoid misinterpretations of what values you stand by.

Middle East Eye spoke to Pro-Palestine locals who had gathered near Amsterdam’s City Hall as mayor Femke Halsema was set to hold a press conference on Thursday’s events.

Israeli hooligans, supporters of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football club, stirred trouble on Wednesday and Thursday in different parts of the Dutch capital ahead of their Uefa Europa League match against Amsterdam club Ajax.

If you no longer see reports about Israeli massacres in northern Gaza, it’s not because they have stopped, but because the Israeli occupation has killed most of the journalists there for this exact reason: to keep you from knowing about them.

Massacres are being committed 24/7

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Mobs of Israelis marched through the streets of Amsterdam yesterday waving Israeli flags and chanting & singing racist, genocidal songs, vandalizing and ripping down Palestinian flags from homes, attacking a taxi driver and others. In some cases, Dutch police protected the mob while they sang racist songs. Then when local residents started to fight back, Israel and its proxies declared that the Israeli mobs were victims of antisemitism. The absurd Israeli script is nothing if not consistent.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

What the coverage from Amsterdam has sought to do is not just bury the Gaza genocide and turn Israel and Israelis into the victims even as they commit that genocide.

It is also intended to stoke Islamophobic hatred towards Arabs and Muslims for being present in Europe, and for insisting that we not forget about Gaza. It is to import into the West the same racist assumptions and discourse that led to Israel’s genocide.

Western establishments have willed this outcome. They are enabling it through their rhetoric and actions.

What possible justification can there be for banning Russian teams and sportspeople from international competitions the moment Moscow invaded Ukraine, when Israeli teams like Tel Aviv Maccabi are still being welcomed in Europe after 13 months of genocide?

How is it possible that fans of Israeli teams not only find themselves embraced by western leaders but treated as victims when they parade their anti-Arab, anti-Muslim bigotry – and their glorification of genocide – in European cities?

The Israeli national team is due to play France in a Uefa Nations League match in Paris on 14 November. Clashes are all too predictable. They could be easily averted by imposing a ban – similar to the Russian one – on Israeli involvement in international competitions.

What the coverage demonstrates so clearly is that the aim of leading western politicians, aided by the establishment media, is to recast Europe’s Arab and Muslim populations as a threat, as barbaric, as antisemitic, as impossible to integrate into a supposed western “civilisation”.

In other words, the transparent goal is to turn Europe’s Arab and Muslim communities into Europe’s Jews of the 1930s – reviled, distrusted and seen as a menace.

By supporting every monstrous Israeli crime, by pandering to Israel’s genocide-inciting football hooligans, western politicians and the media know they are bound to inflame tensions, especially with domestic populations of Arab and Muslim heritage. That is what they wish to do.

The aim is to promote the demonisation of Europe’s Arab and Muslim minorities.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.

Johnson's failure to enact a lockdown, in defiance of calls from epidemiologists, is bordering on criminal negligence - it's no use railing at people going out when you're not prepared to stop them. Why do we need crowd control barriers - because "behaviour" is not enough

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

If you don’t believe social distancing works take a look at this INCREDIBLE data from Italy. Lodi was on lockdown Feb 23. Bergamo not until March 8. Look at the difference. This is literally what it means to “flatten the curve”
