BREAKING: Amsterdam Mayor regrets calling what happened in Amsterdam a “pogrom”, saying “we were completely overtaken by Israel”:
“In hindsight, I should not have used the word ‘pogrom.’… We were completely overtaken by Israel. At 3 am, Prime Minister Netanyahu suddenly gave a lecture about what had happened in Amsterdam, while we were still gathering the facts.”
“The Israeli government spoke of a ‘Palestinian pogrom on the streets of Amsterdam,’ and in The Hague, the words were used to discriminate against Moroccan Amsterdammers, Muslims. That is not what I meant or what I wanted.”
“I saw how the word 'pogrom' became very political and turned into propaganda."
Mayor Femke Halsema also said she should have highlighted violence caused by Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.
The entire Western media and political class acted as press agents for an Israeli disinformation campaign. All to provide cover for racist football hooligans and a state engaged in genocide.
This was obvious at the time, as documented by photo journalist @iAnnetnl but the media chose to lie about her footage and spin it to the world.
Our report with @PulaRJS puts the media to shame:
For a club to reinvent, rejuvenate but stay true to what it is, is special. The club has had dark dark days that many won’t recount. But under the guidance and stewardship of a genius owner has become a club that many will envy! 👏🏽
@OfficialBHAFC fans that remember… SOAK IT UP🫶🏽
When DeZerbiBall works, it and Brighton are brilliant. On the rare occasions it doesn't, it's like watching the Titanic trying to navigate an ice field. This is definitely the latter #BHAFC
Brighton & Hove Albion have existed for 122 years now. We are the lucky bastards who are witnessing the greatest team in our club's history. It won't last forever, so enjoy every single moment #BHAFC
