  • Fatah leader: Attacks on Jews are best proof that the world is "sick of them"

The Palestinian Authority reports of and what happened in Amsterdam after the football game, totally rewrite history, turning an organized vicious attack of Arabs and Muslims against Israelis into an Israeli attack on Muslims and Arabs. There is no mention of the attacks by Arabs on the Israelis, or of the videos of those injured and beaten in the streets that were posted on social media.

Instead Palestinians read about the "deplorable incitement to violence, anti-Palestinian racism, and Islamophobia" by the Israelis on the Palestinian Football Association, Facebook page, [Nov. 8, 2024].

The Palestinian Authority Foreign Ministry likewise:

"condemned the [Israeli] calls against Arabs and the barbaric acts that the fans of one of the racist Israeli football teams carried out in Amsterdam for three consecutive days. This included harming the symbolism of the Palestinian flag, and its removal from a number of places symbolizing support for the Palestinian right against the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) crimes and the ongoing annihilation in the Gaza Strip. The ministry called on the Dutch government to investigate the [Israeli] hooligans and defend the Palestinians and Arabs in the Netherlands from these Israeli settlers and soldiers, who came to the Netherlands in order to transfer their racist ideas and their crimes to the European capitals. It emphasized its opposition to all forms of violence."
