Sky News tweets, deletes, repeats: Israeli fan chaos in Amsterdam

An Amsterdam councillor, Jazie Veldhuyzen, said: “They [Israeli fans] began attacking houses of people in Amsterdam with Palestinian flags, so that’s actually where the violence started.”

Sky News recently deleted a tweet about Israeli football fans accused of chanting racist slurs before clashing with protesters in Amsterdam. The tweet sparked controversy, as it drew attention to fan behaviour that some believe led to the altercations.

Tensions in Amsterdam Following Europa League Match

The incident took place after a Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax on Thursday night. Reports indicate that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans rallied in Amsterdam’s main square, with some seen removing Palestinian flags. Amsterdam councillor Jazie Veldhuyzen commented, stating that violence began when “Israeli fans started attacking houses displaying Palestinian flags.”

Allegations of Racist Chants and Acts of Hostility

Videos circulating on social media show Israeli fans allegedly shouting anti-Arab slurs and offensive chants about Palestine. Some of the chants reportedly included, “no schools in Gaza because there are no children left” and “let the IDF win to f**k the Arabs.” The BBC acknowledged the presence of “anti-Arab chants” but did not include the specific language used.

Israeli fans were also accused of attacking local taxis and residences, further escalating tensions. Videos show some fans jeering during a minute’s silence held for flood victims in Valencia, Spain, at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Criticism of Media Coverage

Sky News’s initial tweet mentioned that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans had “torn down Palestinian flags and chanted racist anti-Arab slogans” but was deleted. This deletion, along with broader media coverage of the incident, has sparked criticism. Commentator Owen Jones argued that the Western media portrayed the Israeli fans as “victims” while failing to report their behaviour before the clashes.

Jones stated: “These Israeli football thugs rampaged through Amsterdam… yet the media tells you they’re all victims.” He added that condemning such actions often results in being labelled as a “hateful bigot.”

After @SkyNews aired a great report on the FACTS of what happened in Amsterdam contradicting the grotesque lies re. "antisemitism" and "pogroms," it was obviously forced to delete it. Here is the censored truth they are trying to hide ftom you.

Arrests and Government Response

Dutch police reported that 57 individuals were arrested following the clashes. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to send “rescue planes” to bring Israeli fans home, although this mission was later cancelled. Amsterdam authorities have since banned demonstrations in the city for three days.
