HAven't got the courage yet to say or even see who the villains are

[Maus_]

You've got to be fucking kidding me 😂😂😂

[omarfarook]

Why not mention how the Israeli climbed up buildings and pulled Palestinian flags down? Or how they were walking around singing about how they proud of killing the Palestinians?

[eddyrourke]

What is left of the free world is under serious threat.

This woman needs to watch the videos few times. Those hooligans were chanting Anti Arab words and Anti Palestinians. They thor down Palestinian flags and spit on the pro Palestinians. They got what they were asking for.

YOUNESS OAUALLI needs to be arrested, charged & deported for his disgusting part in this attack.

And no doubt in Palestine there are exactly the same feelings amongst the Palestinians. The Jews can't have it both ways. Let people express themselves, you cannot indefinitely suppress people's feelings. That gets unhealthy. Anyway what is a team from Tel-Aviv doing in a "Europa-League" football match? Last time I consulted an atlas that city was in the Middle-East

[moldymush]

Shame. At least be honest about what the Israeli fans were chanting and destroying first!

[ricksterk]

Nonsense

People are sick of the false narrative

[alladin_XoXo_]

Anti zionism is not anti semitism 😢😢😢😢

[pfaria]

People is tired of hypocrisy and arrogance. The mayor did just that. She just treated the Dutch as second level people. But interesting to see what the foreigner team supporters did inside and outside the stadium.

Netanyahu needs to get idf in Amsterdam to protect jews ...

[leandrosantana]

The legislature needs to listen to the voices of Muslim community leaders and ask them to describe the public hostility. Is this a topic that could motivate discussion about deportation?

[seeseeteevee]

Why don’t they say how many of the attackers of Israeli fans were not ethnic Dutch people… from videos it looks like they were mostly those given refuge in Netherlands.

[lgromaguera]

Surely the problem is the root and not the consequence

[CJMVector]

Guess what Holland has a lot of? same as France and the UK. coincidence. i think not.

[kamsolsaid]

Seriously?!
You bought into that Israeli snake oil pitch? Omg

[SoBiased]

It just shows the whole world loves Israel 😂😂😂

[suncat]

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🙏 🌹 Save children.
