MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish43·8 months agoWhat does this have to do with BBC? Their coverage on the Israeli hooligans had headlines that at a glance made the responses of locals sound anti-Semitic; they didn’t lead with the instigation.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Israel sends rescue planes after football fans reportedly attacked in AmsterdamEnglish2·8 months agoThank you for your balanced and measured response. What you said is completely correct. I oversimplified quite a bit in my comment.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested71·8 months agoNo? What does this have to do with Jews? These were some nationalist hooligans destroying Palestinian flags and harassing Arab cab drivers. Stop trying to conflate Israelis and Jews.

In the last few years, surveys have begun to suggest that a majority of American Jews do not support unconditional aid to Israel. Instead, they are willing to back conditions that military aid not be used to further Israel’s occupation of Palestinians. In fact, a substantial number of American Jews appear willing to go much further in criticizing Israel than community representatives like Daroff: A 2021 poll of Jewish voters by the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI), for example, made waves when it found that a quarter of respondents agreed that Israel is an apartheid state.

40% say they don’t have a lot in common with Jews in Israel. 42% don’t feel even somewhat attached to the state of Israel. 55% say caring about Israel is not essential to what being Jewish means to them. 66% do not strongly oppose Boycott Divest Sanction.
Stop trying to get people to confuse Jews and Zionists. Huge numbers of Jews have perfectly functioning moral compasses (probably about as many as average Americans) and don’t need to be conflated with Israeli instigators.
Its possible these numbers have shifted recently, as Israel works hard to scare Americans into fleeing to join their settler colonialism project.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish83·8 months agoYou need to read some general media sources that aren’t part of your ethnocultural nationalist colonialist bubble.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested82·8 months agoYup, I pasted it in the threads I came across that had poor OP articles. I could have written something unique but… exactly the same message was intended, and I didn’t want to leave any of their biased, popular posts without a response.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish82·8 months agoYeah, even NBC’s headline isn’t great. But at least it doesn’t open with bogus “antisemitism” wording.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Netanyahu Sends Planes To Evacuate Israeli Fans From Amsterdam After AttackEnglish61·8 months agoFortunately the comments have been good. But the actual articles posted in OPs have been awful.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish444·8 months agoThe only stories about this I’ve seen on Lemmy take a very pro-Israel perspective. Have the Israelis started doing to Lemmy what they’ve done to Reddit?
NBC’s coverage, as an alternative, says this immediately after it’s opening statement:
Videos circulating on social media showed violence in the city’s streets, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam’s central station appearing to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. Separate video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” as well as tearing down a Palestinian flag.
…which clarifies that the attack was the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters.

MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli journalists join the live-streamed genocideEnglish2·8 months agoHaaretz also reported this story, but with details behind their paywall.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.world•Four soldiers killed, seven seriously hurt in Hezbollah drone strike on military baseEnglish142·9 months agoSeems like this was a result of Israeli arrogance, assuming it crashed or was shot down rather than recognizing that they aren’t the only ones with effective munitions.
They could choose to take this as a sign that war isn’t the path to safety, or that they just need to also depopulate Lebanon to bring safety. I think it’s obvious which they’ll do, of course.

MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.world•'Surrender or starve': Attack on Jabalia hints at controversial Israeli plan for northern GazaEnglish16·9 months agoI don’t think pretending October 7th is the start of history is fair, though. Any discussion of October 7th needs to explore why people might become so angry as to take the actions taken on that day. It didn’t happen in a vacuum; it takes a lot to make people do that to other people.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.world•'Surrender or starve': Attack on Jabalia hints at controversial Israeli plan for northern GazaEnglish21·9 months agoAh yes, we should make sure whenever we discuss Israeli atrocities that we explain why they are justified in doing what they do to the people whose land they stole and continue to steal. It’s purely reasonable self defense by innocents, don’t ya know!

There is talk of a lot of things. Did she provide sources, or is it like Trump’s “people are saying…”?
You’re correct that the US has adopted a terrible definition of antisemitism that conflates the state of Israel and the actions of its genocidal apartheid government with Judaism.
Someone recently shared the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism with me, which I find to be a much more reasonable definition of antisemitism.
