‼️EMERGENCY CALL‼️
We are outraged by framing of the events of the night of 7 November as antisemitic attacks, and the banning of any form of protest this weekend. We will not let media and politicians who continue to enable a genocide control the narrative. We therefore call on all Amsterdam organizing groups to announce an emergency demonstration on Sunday (10th of November), Dam Square, 2 PM

In Court the municipality argued the demonstration ban was a temporary measure and would likely end this weekend. Late in the afternoon mayor Halsema (Green Party) announced the ban has been extended until Thursday 🤬.

Amsterdam bans demos after 'antisemitic squads' attack Israeli soccer fans hooligans

More than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed and millions displaced in Israel's military offensive on Gaza, according to health officials there, launched after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 250 hostage in the initial cross-border attack, according to Israel.

In Washington, U.S. President Biden condemned the attacks as "despicable" and said they "echo dark moments in history when Jews persecuted". United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was shocked by the violence in Amsterdam, a U.N. spokesperson said.

Security tightened

Mayor Halsema said police had been taken by surprise after security services failed to flag the match against Ajax Amsterdam, traditionally identified as a Jewish club, as high-risk.

"Antisemitic hit-and-run squads" had managed to evade a force of around 200 officers, she said.

Advocaat wil aangifte doen tegen supporters Maccabi Tel Aviv

De Amsterdamse advocaat Adem Çatbaş bereidt aangiftes voor tegen supporters van de Israëlische voetbalclub Maccabi Tel Aviv, die donderdag tegen Ajax speelde. Op X roept Çatbaş slachtoffers en getuigen van strafbare feiten die gepleegd zijn door Maccabi-supporters op zich te melden. [see deleted message on AD News - censorship]

Volgens de advocaat maakten Israëlische supporters zich onder meer schuldig aan "vernieling, opruiing, openlijke geweldpleging, aanzetten tot haat, belediging en bedreiging." Çatbaş wil zondag niet inhoudelijk ingaan op de aangiftes of zeggen of en hoeveel mensen zich bij hem hebben gemeld.

De Rotterdamse advocaat Haroon Raza deed zaterdag namens twee Belgische pro-Palestijnse organisaties aangifte tegen supporters van de Israëlische club. In die aangifte staat onder meer dat Maccabi-supporters iemand tegen de grond trappen en proberen een pro-Palestijnse demonstrant in elkaar te slaan.

Fact check: Amsterdam video doesn't show attack on Israelis | DW News - 12 Nov 2024 |

Claim: "Israeli soccer fans were chased and beaten in Amsterdam in what Israeli and Dutch politicians called antisemitic attacks," wrote The Wall Street Journal in a headline found here.

The German newspaper Bild also used a screenshot from the video with the caption: "The hunt for Jews has broken out again: Arab mob chases soccer fans in Amsterdam."

DW Fact check: False

The video by De Graaf actually shows supporters of the Israeli soccer club Maccabi Tel Aviv attacking locals around Amsterdam Central Station.

It, therefore, does not show pro-Palestinians chasing Israelis, as has been falsely claimed by several media outlets, but instead Israeli soccer fans attacking locals and pro-Palestinian soccer fans.

[...]

Another video by a young Dutch reporter, Ome Bender, supports De Graaf's version because it shows the same violent scenes from a different angle.

Many users have repeatedly pointed out the misuse of the images on social networks, as has De Graaf herself. They explained that the perpetrators were Israeli, and not pro-Palestinian soccer fans.

I am the creator of this video.

1. you are spreading fake news, this is a group of Maccabi supporters starting a fight and beating one Dutch man.
2. delete this content, I didn't gave you permission.

In a viral post, De Graaf asked the media to classify her material correctly and issue an apology. A journalist from Tagesschau has already complied with this request.

2 To be seen on @tagesschau at 8 pm. At the same time as the original report. There was a lot of criticism of my journalistic mistake (footage in the wrong context). I think that's fair. I will not comment on some very personal insults.

— Christian Feld (@ChrFeld) November 10, 2024

Tagesschau itself has issued a correction and edited the initial video and posted a new version online.

DW also did not initially categorize the images correctly, but has since published a correction under the post:

"We showed the clips marked with the watermark X/iAnnet in the wrong context. The author of the clip says she filmed Maccabi supporters who attacked Amsterdam citizens in front of Central Station after the game."

Other media have now also replaced or deleted the video sequences or published corrections.

Geert wilders in Israel 5 Dec. 2010 | Moledet party - National Union |

'Sapere aude'

An interview with Israeli MK Dr. Arieh Eldad (Moledat)

AN INTERVIEW WITH ISRAELI M.K. DR. ARIEH ELDAD

Israeli Knesset Member, Dr. Arieh Eldad, is a nationalist gadfly among the country's politicians. He is a member of the Moledet party list of the minority National Union faction that favors the willing transfer of "Palestinian" Arab refugees from the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria to the de facto Palestine: Jordan. With more than 70% of Jordan's population composed of Palestinian Arabs, Eldad considers that the real "two state solution." Jordan has plenty of territory to absorb their fellow Arabs now languishing in the squalid UNWRA camps in Samaria, Judea and Gaza. Eldad and others in his party argue that international investment in agricultural production, water, energy, urban and jobs development in Jordan is required to help facilitate absorption.

This has not made Dr. Eldad, a world ranked plastic surgeon and reserve Brig. General in the IDF Medical Corps by profession, a welcome party in the current discussions between the Kadima government and PA President Mahmoud Abbas leading to a possible "peace agreement." Neither would secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the waning days of the Bush Administration look with interest on Dr. Eldad's suggestions. The agreement under discussion is virtually in tatters given the waning days of the Bush Administration in America and the prospects for a general election in Israel. Eldad is pleased with this outcome, as it stifles any `shelf agreements' from being concluded.

Eldad, however, has a more expansive agenda. He is gathering world parliamentarians in Jerusalem in December, 2008 to attend a conference on "Facing Jihad." He considers Israel as the "canary in the mines of radical Islam," something his fellow Israelis would rather not think about. He is bringing courageous Dutch parliamentarian, Geert Wilders to show his controversial film "Fitna" (strife or chaos in Arabic) and legislators from Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, the U.K. and America to formulate a declaration against Islamization among Western democracies. Eldad deems it to be crucially important for Israelis to become educated about the nuances of this existential threat that seeks to extinguish the Jewish state as well as other non-Muslim nations.

Eldad has traveled to conferences in Brussels and America to confer with anti-Jihadists and in the process create an alliance to oppose the Grand Jihad. In Manhattan in late September, while attending a Hudson Institute conference featuring Wilders, he took time to speak at a protest rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where the latter was attending an interfaith Iftar dinner during Ramadan.

Eldad's late father, Dr. Israel Eldad was a nationalist philosopher, teacher and leader in the pre-state, Lehi resistance group. He was a Revisionist in the mold of Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Dr. Eldad is frequently complimented after public talks when people come up to him and tell him that he reminds them of his father.

Eldad has excoriated Israel's government leaders for the debacles of the unilateral withdrawal from the Gush Katif settlements in Gaza in 2005 and for the failure to defeat Hezbollah in the Second Lebanon War in 2006. He was injured in the massive protest and clash at the Judean hilltop settlement of Amona in February, 2006, when more than a 5,000 Israeli police and IDF troops confronted 4,000 protesters. As a result of his injuries at the Amona protest, he may not be able to return to his profession as a plastic surgeon and head of the program at the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.

Eldad has been a vocal critic of many public figures through his weekly columns in leading Israeli newspapers, Yediot Aharonot and Ma'ariv. Then, the editors were changed and his jeremiads against corruption in government and Israeli society were silenced. He has frequently debated with the extreme left-wing former Labor Justice Minister, Yossi Beilin. Beilin is the father of the failed Oslo Accords and Geneva Agreements.

In this wide ranging interview with Dr. Eldad, you will gain some insights into his Zionist nationalism, the necessity for Israeli political reform and the military defeat of Iran's proxies, both Hezbollah and Hamas. The creation of an enduring alliance of Western politicians to combat the Grand Jihad poised to engulf their countries and the State of Israel is a significant element in his efforts.

VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz: 'Our freedoms at stake due to partly failed and poor integration'

Geez lady ... but the Jewish state got our support as a front against terror ... the NATO states have fought the "War on Terror" since the 1st attack on the WTC in 1994 ... some 30 years ago ... Neocon policy to protect Israel from the Arabs ... destroy the Oslo Accords ... Palestinians are not freedom fighters for independence but same as Al Qaeda led by OBL and Egyptian MB foreman Zawahiri.

Again the Dutch politicians are using the Holocaust of Nazi Germany to smear the demonstrators in Amsterdam pleading for a ceasefire in Gaza ... stop the genocide. How hollow phrases are used as a propaganda method to confuse the real-time issues. The VVD party bred Bolkestein, Wilders, Verdonk, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Mark Rutte. Refused to meet with leaders of minority groups to communicate domestic issues ... racism and discrimination as a result that divides Dutch society.
