Amsterdam Maccabi Tel Aviv riots: On the ground reporting from Bender
This video shows how the Israeli hooligans misbehaved. Videos are being posted of what happened in Amsterdam between hooligans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Amsterdam locals. Their later clashes with locals were widely reported, but nobody mentioned they were misbehaving already before that (they're football hooligans, after all) and that they had ample opportunity to go to their hotels or be escorted by police, but they chose to roam the city and pick fights. FAFO. Israels genocide surprisingly unpopular around the world, who would have thought
Were they not assholes during the match? Blatantly ignoring the minute’s silence for the Spanish flood victims, and anti-Palestinian chants during the game were what I read. I can see how that might get people’s goat a bit
Police was not expecting this?
I used to work in an office building next to a big football stadium, and on days of international matches every road was closed and the hooligans were separated by cordons, it was carefully arranged how the foreign fans could reach the stadium without bumping into local hooligans, mounted police were waiting nearby if something goes wrong.
Yes they were expecting it. The mayor of Amsterdam said that there were about 800 extra police officers
They were expecting this but disregarded the most sensible option of canceling the match due to political optics
There is nothing political about it
I like how the 16y kid stay calm, even when the holigans try to intimidate him into stop filming. More balls than the goons 💪
