Well the situation was much more complex than any 1 video makes clear. Apparently at some point small groups of shits where using hit and run tactics on the Maccabi supporters/hooligans on mopeds and bikes… attacking Maccabi supporters that got isolated from the group, this caused the Maccabi supporters to bunch up like they did. So you see the large group of the Maccabi people, but hardly see the small groups that attack them. At one point the Maccabi people run towards a small group in an alley… it’s not clear if they got to them.

The police had a hard time getting a handle on the small hit and run groups so they rounded up the maccabi people and ushered them to the hotels.

The whole thing seems to have started with the macabbi fans ripping down the Palestinian flag at a building and throwing stones through the windows, but that’s not clear at the moment.

The incident with the cab drivers also seems to have more to it, with a cab driver mistreating macabbi fans, leading to macabbi fans retaliating and then cab drivers organizing against the macabbi people.

It’s a real shit show of escalation… but the videos are not showing everything. The police is still combing through days worth of footage from public cams, doorbells, mobile phones. The police also has phone dumps and telegram chats where the anti macabbi side was organizing something that escalated to being referred to as Jew hunts… So there is that.

In the end the macabbi people are back home and in the Netherlands we are left with the shambles of this nonsense and a highly polarized debate.

It’s not helpful to act or propagate the story that any of the 2 parties where the victim and the other the agressor… as past some point they are all wrong, all assholes and we can only hope that ALL people involved in instigation are punished for what they did.

Works for me. But it’s archived as well. old version: https://archive.ph/8fqos - new version: https://archive.ph/RmrvS
