It was planned. Even the BBC admits it.

But hey, you do you.

Amsterdam: arrests made after attacks on Israeli football fans – video report

is biased and misreporting, then the links only reinforce the bias.

If the msm is reporting truthfully, then other news sources and live reports are untrue and biased.

So some soccer fans chanted offensive things and tore down a pair of flags?

This somehow shifts culpability away from gangs of people chasing other down and beating them on the street? Then there's the interview with the "Amsterdam councilor" claiming that the real context the reporting is missing is the government's culpability in a genocide in Gaza.

"There are no schools in Gaza as there are no more children in Gaza".
"Let the IDF win, we will f*** the Arabs".
"Death to Arabs".

Beating up Muslim/Arab cab drivers, demolishing one of their cabs, throwing rocks at houses, running amok in large groups carrying metal rods, throwing them at police and others, burning Palestinian flags...

Those actions tend to upset people too.

The Maccabi ultra fans were not beaten up because they were Jewish. They were beaten up because they are racist assholes who threw the genocide of kids and innocents into the faces of the Muslim and Arab and Dutch citizens of Amsterdam and engaged in violence first. Hell, they were there to provoke, gloat and incite. Perhaps that's why they were accompanied by MOSSAD agents.

For over a year those citizens in Amsterdam - Muslim or not - have seen the carnage and bloodletting in Gaza. Now witnessing ethnic cleansing in broad daylight. Add the presence of the Maccabi assholes gloating and provoking - what happened was bound to happen.

Yes, context matters. And our media - Western and Israeli - have once again shown that they are not up to the job. They are simply shills for Israel's narrative and agenda.

the Mayor of Amsterdam, the King of Netherlands, the entire police department of Amsterdam and a number of prominent Dutch political and civic leaders, among others.

Kudos to Commondreams for exposing such vast conspiracy as corporate media was covering it up!

those who vandalized pro-Palestinian property?

Or those who chanted death threats to Arabs?

It was up to the local authorities to determine if crimes were suspected, and by whom.

I think they are sufficiently competent in their judgements.
