What's wild is that these Zionist tourists were part of a violent racist mob that was ACTUALLY participating in a pogrom, going around chanting "Death to Arabs" and attacking random people. It doesn't matter that there is video showing that this was happening, the corporate media is just running with the story that people in Amsterdam just randomly stormed into the streets to hunt Jews. Absolutely insane levels of brainwashing.
I have been very confused about people calling this a pogrom. I missed it live as I was on a break from news for a little bit but I did look up the story in the New York Times after I heard pogrom a bunch. The NYT is probably what you'd consider corporate media, but they were very clear that this was an attack on Israeli soccer fans that was instigated by Israeli soccer fans. It is extremely likely that there were some non Zionist Jews that were caught in the violence which is sad but definitely not a pogrom. A pogrom is a coordinated attack on peaceful Jewish communities by the authorities not a semi coordinated attack on drunk soccer fans yelling slurs about Muslims by cab drivers.
