[Salon] More on the "antisemitic pogrom" in Amsterdam



FM: John Whitbeck

Even being depressingly familiar with Zionist propaganda and Zionist control of Western media and governments, I find mind-boggling that Western media and governments (even the Dutch king, who missed a golden opportunity to stay silent) have been characterizing this week's violence provoked by racist Israeli football hooligans as unprovoked "antisemitic" attacks reminiscent of the dark days of the Nazi era.

Some representative headlines:

NEW YORK TIMES: "Antisemitic Attacks Prompt Emergency Flights for Israeli Soccer Fans"

WALL STREET JOURNAL: "Antisemitic Attacks in Amsterdam Prompt Tight Security at Jewish Sites"

TELEGRAPH (UK): "Pogroms have returned to Europe, and the 'anti-racist' Left are silent"

Almost instantly, Israel's new foreign minister, Gideon Saar, after declaring the violence in Amsterdam a "blaring alarm call for Europe and the world," has flown to the Netherlands to personally receive an apology and a pledge of loyalty and support for Israel from the Dutch government.

For anyone with an interest in reality, the nine-minute video presented by Owen Jones at the link transmitted below is an absolute MUST-VIEW:

Also well worth reading is a reality-based report published by MIDDLE EAST EYE (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-hooligans-provoke-clashes-amsterdam-after-chanting-anti-palestinian-slogans).

In anticipation of this Thursday's match in Paris between the French and Israeli national teams, it will be interesting to see whether the French authorities, who have recently deemed even a "Free Palestine" banner displayed at a football stadium "unacceptable" and worthy of an investigation, will, like the Dutch authorities, ban anti-genocide demonstrations while showing extreme tolerance and understanding for pro-genocide demonstrations.

In any event, prudent Parisians would be well advised to stay at home on Thursday night and, in light of Amsterdam's experience, on Wednesday night as well.
