Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

As soon as I read the initial headlines all over every media outlet I went to see if anything precipitated the attacks, because I had a feeling this wasn't unprovoked.
I don't support violence against anyone, but I sure wouldn't paint this as an anti-Semitic attack. This was a group of hooligans who instigated the whole situation and got what they asked for.
The Israeli hooligans were escorted out of the city center by bus after the police clamped down on their riot. Afterwards the pro-Palestine rioters attacked everyone in the city center who had Maccabi merch or looked Israeli. The people they attacked weren’t part of the Israeli instigators. It’s not like every Maccabi fan that visited the game was a hooligan.
So something did precipitate this attack, and the media never reported on that. It only reported on what happened after.
Yes, some people completely uninvolved with the initial provocation got attacked, but the point is the attack wasn't just some anti-Semitic pogrom. Also, the bigger point is the media reported on one thing with a very specific slant and didn't report the other thing at all.
First of all I agree wholeheartedly that the racist hooligans that instigated violence before the game and the slogans they chanted are absolutely despicable.
However the attacks against the Fans were not even indiscriminately against all fans (not just the hoolingans) but they were explicitly against Jewish people. Multiple reports from the situation after the game state how people were explicitly attacked for being Jewish. I don't know how else to frame this than as an antisemitic attack.
"Not just the hooligans"
I don't know anything about football but it seems to me if my club's supporters start singing genocidal songs, I would stop supporting them.
" Multiple reports from the situation after the game state how people were explicitly attacked for being Jewish"
Not sure if you are aware but amsterdam have a jewish population since forever. And yet the only victims were israeli.
Don't even try, the anti-Israel rhetoric is unstoppable here at Lemmy...

Oh don't worry, my comments are being removed and my other account has been banned.
Yeah denialism tends to be frown upon. Let me guess, you were busy trying to explain how the pallys deserved it for using human shields?
No denialism here bud. Your kind of close but have overshot the mark, I was referring to Hamas terrorists using human shields, among other things. It's interesting that you jumped to 'pallys deserved it' straight away.
"Human shield" is just a disgusting way of describing their wife and kids.
What you want guerrilas fighter from a concentration camp with the density of mahnattan to find the only non-populated hill and stand there with a bulleye so they can be killed conveniently? Idiot.
