So basically what happened that evening:
- Israeli hooligans sing chants in support of the mass murder of children.
- Israeli hooligans look for conflict and instigate violence on the streets of Amsterdam.
- Violence breaks out between the Israeli hooligans and Amsterdam youth groups.
This all under the shadow of an ongoing likely ethnic cleansing / genocide in Palestine.
And now every newspaper from center-left to far-right in the Netherlands is pretending some horrible antisemitic violence took place akin to 40-45. While at the same time the Dutch government is talking about mass deportations of Muslims. And apparently they are also getting pushed by Israel to strip Dutch citizens of human right by putting them on these horrible “terrorist” watch lists. Truly incredible.
The funniest thing to me is ‘take their passports away’ and ‘deport them’ as if these are recent immigrants. Most of these kids are 2nd or 3rd generation, and fully Dutch citizens, so nothing can be done against them in that way
This. Also, scratch that 2nd, these day the 4th generation is coming of age, and it’s getting boring to refer to them as anything other than Dutch. Sure, they may call themselves Moroccan or Turkish, but it’s the same as all the Irish people of Boston.
Similar but different in that they still return to their families countries of origin regularly and speak Arabic actively. Americans are usually divested of that fully by the 2nd generation.
Literally no part of me is upset. Pogrom in response to mean words? Go fuck yourselves straight back to to Wahhabist roots you pretend is your ancient culture rather than a mental illness.
