Important context that is missing from the article: The Maccabi fans were causing havoc in the city since the morning before the match was held. They were going around shouting anti-Palestine chants, climbing buildings to take down Palestinian flags from windows, burned down at least one Palestinian flag, attacked a taxi driver in his taxi with metal chains, and broke store and apartment windows. There's also numerous reports that they've been attacking people in the street who had attempted to stop their vandalism.

In traditional Israeli fashion, these goons are now trying to present themselves as the victims, after pissing off an entire city with their provocations and barbaric behavior.

So they were planning to send the IDF to go and airlift people out but they seem to have changed their minds. So my theory is that the IDF was planning to do IDF things to Amsterdam but the Europeans said "Hell no"

So proud of those that defended the city against dangerous genocide supporters. However, they should've been better organized too many of them were arrested unfortunately.
