    They were likely paid to do this too (then a free military flight home)…Netanyohooo even said he was going to deploy troops to go get the fans. I hope all these countries hold their leaders accountable, because it’s going to happen again and again.

    Edit: It was the military who said it

      Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

      Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

        That’s by design.

        What do kids do when they have a fit and are rewarded with candy? They throw more fits. They 100% know it’s not antisemitism, theyre checking how far they can push their US backed military invasions. US taxpayers funds pay for most of it, so why not.

      That’s an odd statement. Like… get their troops marching on a foreign country to defend their hooligans and extract them back home? If not, then what?

      Odd. Really odd.

        No, the plan was to send military evacuation flights. I think it ended up not happening in the end.

        Yeah, Netanyihoo is odd, and this should have caused much more outrage than it did. But “antisemitism”.

        From here

        The prime minister said he ordered the sending of two rescue planes to the Netherlands to evacuate the fans.

        The Israeli military said it was preparing to deploy a rescue mission with the coordination of Dutch authorities.

        However, the military’s international spokesperson Nadav Shoshani later said on X the mission would not be departing to Amsterdam
