Psyber Attack

Right. So we're back to the taxi drivers. Do you know what actually started that feud?

Which, just to be clear, is entirely separate and unrelated to the "large groups" that were being separated by the police, which are mentioned in the Mayor's letter...just to pre-empt any conflation or confusion

Which bits do you think describes a pogrom?

Aside from mention of 2 anti-Semitic verbal assaults, that letter could describe countless events in Amsterdam...and in many cases those reported verbal assaults would be directed at an immigrant rather than a Jewish person

So what am I missing there? 🤷‍♀️

1. That's a letter from the Mayor to the Council, not a police report

2. It was written in the immediate aftermath, when international media was running lies about kidnappings and other nonsense

3. The Mayor who wrote that, in possession of all the facts 10 months later, banned them from returning

The police report you've read, about some taxi drivers spewing hate in a WhatsApp and then assaulting a few people, is only 1 of those 40 reports

Out City Council did a full review of *ALL* of the events over those few days and they overwhelmingly voted to ban the Tel Aviv fans from coming back! 🤷‍♀️

You obviously don't know how it works here. The police make a report per incident, and during public disturbances they make reports and gather evidence/arrest later

What that means is there were over *40* separate incidents, mostly involving Tel Aviv fans assaulting bystanders and damaging property

Which police report, there were over 40, including Tel Aviv fans... 🙄

But now we're clear you don't know what happened, lookup who those people are before believing conspiracies about why they've been banned

We get a LOT of football hooligans in Amsterdam and they're the worst we've seen in years!

Amsterdam declares Maccabi Tel Aviv ‘unwelcome’ in city Dutch capital bans Maccabi Tel Aviv from the city, citing fan violence and alleged support for 'genocide,' sparking backlash over accusations of antisemitism

I'm from Amsterdam and I'm wondering what you think happened here last year?

I'm guessing you're misinformed because equating those thugs with Israelis and Jews is like equating Tommy Robinson with Brits and Christianity

Also, our Council banned them last month after reviewing the events in detail

That plan is missing something to keep the Tel Aviv supporters under control...

I have nothing against football or Israelis, but Maccabi Tel Aviv were the worst fans who've visited Amsterdam in years. And then the hysterics afterwards. No city deserves that drama! 🙄

I understand that you're seriously under informed about this, and that's fine, but you're really boring me with your conspiracies and fantasies now

I've explained to you what happened here, and the fact is that things can be true whether you choose to believe them or not. But spare me the drama

Get over yourself. They caused trouble in the centre for two days, under the protection of Ajax hooligans. They caused so much trouble their protection was revoked and only then did they get slapped. If they weren't Jewish they wouldn't have had protection and it would have happened on day one 🙄

If you *really* want to claim that bunch of thugs are representative of Israel and/or Jews worldwide that's on you...but I've seen them in action, and I can assure you that they're about as representative of Israel and Jews as those degenerates in the WhatsApp group are representative of Amsterdam

I'm not choosing to ignore it, I just don't consider ~30 assholes to be representative of Amsterdam...and I don't consider the ~300 football thugs represent anything other than themselves

They've been rightly banned. There's no conspiracy here. They're victims of their own actions. Nothing more...

And my last word on this...

Those people don't represent the Israelis I know, any more than the Tottenham fans who smashed up my local bar a couple of years ago represent the British people I know

Hooligans are hooligans. Judge them by their actions and not their origins, skin colour or religion!

Also worth mentioning that they had free reign to cause chaos for 2 days because the Ajax Ultras were protecting them...but that protection got pulled due to their behaviour, after the game, and it was only then that they got stomped

You call them Jews, I call them hooligans...but I work in the centre of Amsterdam and I saw the events first hand

They beat up street dealers and taxi drivers, then they got themselves beaten up by street dealers and taxi drivers

That's the literal definition of Amsterdam FAFO 🤷‍♀️

It's right they've been banned from going to Birmingham because they would only go looking for trouble, find it and then claim they're being victimised

Long story short. That lot were nasty bastards and they should be banned from all Away-Days, just as Brits would be if they ever behaved like that!

Despite what everyone wants to believe, Ajax fans call themselves "The Jews" and they actively protected the Israelis until after the game

Their protection got pulled by the Ajax Ultras for their misbehaviour and that's why they eventually got stomped

They came looking for trouble and they got it

I don't care about football. I don't care where you come from or what religion you follow...but to pretend what happened was a "pogrom" and not an obvious case of Amsterdam's FAFO policy, (something we're well known for), does everyone a disservice and pollutes the discussion

Normally they'd be banned from games and nobody would bat an eyelid, (especially if they were Brits or Eastern Europeans), but it was immediately politicised and footage of the hooligans attacking locals was portrayed as the hooligans being attacked...which was only corrected by Reuters days later

The general rule of hooligans is that they leave the general population alone, but the Tel Aviv fans were here for a couple of days before the match, (which is unusual), and those normal rules didn't seem to apply to them

They attacked a LOT of innocent bystanders and provoked a lot of trouble

I'm an Amsterdam resident and the full story of what happened with the Tel Aviv fans clearly hasn't been told...

We get a LOT of hooligan away days here, (for obvious reasons), and that lot were as bad as the worst Eastern European hooligans, (who tend to be extremely vicious)

Hilarious. Starmer isn't tapping up Blair's kid for the UK's Digital ID, he's going with the Sunak family instead

Imagine an AI that speaks in LInkedInese... 😬

If autism is so bad, why does Elon Musk pretend to be autistic?

Autism is a good thing!

Even Elon Musk pretends to be autistic because he thinks it makes him look cool...

Now take your vaccines and get back to talking about Epstein!

It's very simple...

The purpose of these Russian incursions is to make Europeans, (and Ukrainians), believe that Europe is unable or unwilling to confront them

And the original post that I replied to does exactly that. Hence why I said it's only serving the Russians to propagate that myth

Is anyone else offering Ukraine security guarantees? Or financial support? Or weapons?

If not then it's pointless and petulant to be pushing these narratives, which serve absolutely nobody

And I say this as someone who will be fighting, and likely killed, in the coming war...

I'm sure you mean well, but if you reflect on your words you might realise that you're doing the Russian propagandists work for them

Europe is far from perfect, but it's all that we have and it doesn't serve anyone, except the Russians, to destroy it from within

Europe can't afford to antagonise the US yet. If the Yanks ever disabled European access to their digital services, (Gmail, Microsoft, AWS etc), the economic damage would be absolutely catastrophic because virtually all European companies are still heavily reliant on US digital services to function!
