\n\tLast Thursday, fans of the Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv and local residents of Amsterdam engaged in violent clashes before and after a Europa League match against Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe confrontation spread throughout the city that night. By Friday, authorities reported that five individuals were hospitalized and 62 had been arrested.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe conflict reportedly initiated when far-right supporters of the Israeli team started to chant racist and anti-Arab slogans, targeted Arab and Muslim individuals, and vandalized properties displaying Palestinian flags.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera<\/em> reported:\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one recording, Israeli fans were captured chanting: \u201cMay the IDF triumph, and to hell with the Arabs!\u201d referencing the Israeli military\u2019s actions in Gaza. Another clip showed a supporter yelling: \u201cTo hell with you terrorists, Sinwar die, everyone die,\u201d mentioning the recently deceased Hamas leader.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a city council member from Amsterdam, the Israeli fans initiated these assaults upon their arrival, targeting Palestinian supporters even before the game started.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey started by attacking residential properties in Amsterdam that had Palestinian flags. That\u2019s where the unrest began,\u201d Councilman Jazie Veldhuyzen explained to Al Jazeera on Friday.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, locals mobilized to defend against the provocations that began on Wednesday by the Maccabi hooligans.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, both U.S. and international media largely depicted the incidents as unilateral “anti-Semitic” violence against defenseless sports fans:\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPresident Joe Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promptly supported Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s characterization of the Amsterdam events as unprovoked anti-Semitic attacks, akin to historical pogroms or Kristallnacht.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSocial media, however, has been active with posts providing the missing context that mainstream media omitted:\n<\/p>\n
