7. Gloating about genociding all the kids in Gaza tends to upset good and decent people.

"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.
