Backgrounder:
The recent pogrom against Jews in Amsterdam occurred on November 7, 2024. This disturbing event was sparked by a UEFA Europa League football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and AFC Ajax, where Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were targeted in a series of attacks. The violence erupted despite heightened security measures and a ban on pro-Palestinian protests near the stadium due to concerns over possible violence.
The attacks involved ambushes, assaults, and vandalism, with reports of attempted stabbings, vehicle rammings, and individuals being thrown into a canal. Five people were hospitalized, and 20-30 others sustained minor injuries. The Israeli embassy described the events as “antisemitic” and involving attempted stabbings and vehicle ramings.
Dutch authorities, including Prime Minister Dick Schoof and Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema, condemned the attacks, with Halsema describing the perpetrators as “antisemitic hit-and-run squads”. The incident has been widely denounced, with Israeli President Isaac Herzog referring to it as an “anti-Semitic pogrom”. This post is related to a debate with Brian Smallshaw on facebook.

(again) and also WTF is going on in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, that is some fucked up nazi shite, show us your papers or we’ll beat you up, maybe even kill you, holy frack, is this really happening in the 21st century? Let’s see if the anti-semitic student brigades take up the call of Islamism again. Useful idiots, or actually the update is now completely useless idiots, of no use to anyone, even themselves. Fools. I’m reminded of the red queen from Alice in Wonderland only it’s the sequel Muhummad in the Netherlands. The Queen was red for a reason right. They are all mad as a hater. They are beyond haters they are hate-erz. Red pill and blue pill are both poison in the sequel and they are always taken by suppository. Anyway…i’m a dancing fool and that’s why i need an 8 foot midi capable floor keyboard, resilient enough for a troop of monkeys to stomp wildly upon if need be. That is the way i feel right now, like the lone sane monkey, though i can stomp with the best of them, tonight i’m a wallflower chanting fight the power in the pride, don’t mix my metaphors u malingering maladjusted nin-compoop conformist twits and twats. Oh dear, i swore, my speech is over-free again, alert the media, the tensor board, the chairman of the board, i’m so fucking bored of this idiotic violence, the oppresive and regressive ridiculous made up gods of nonsense and their nasty henchmen goons, the playing card Vegas vamps and vagaboonds, the Reno bound renal anal retentive retards who are rapaciously ravaging the earth of all of her wondrous creatures, slow pressure cooking everything, including you, including me, including ‘them’ and the others, we are all in/out of this together and no one here or there gets out and about. You are all one, i’m another one, suck on your thumb, and so on. lIfe is short and full of stupidity, why oh why, my oh my, i refuse to cry, i’d rather die, i was born to fly, if wallruses could only fry the brains of the imbeciles just a bit more, al dante’s inferno, if only they could but no, they can not and let that be a lesson to you.

Re: Amsterdam – from CNN:
Tensions had been rising in the lead up to Thursday night’s match with multiple social media videos showing Maccabi fans chanting anti-Arab slurs, praising Israeli military attacks in Gaza and yelling “f**k the Arabs.” Other videos apparently filmed in Amsterdam show men ripping Palestinian flags off buildings. It is unclear when those videos were filmed.

Brian Smallshaw you are describing freedom of speech and minor property crime. Even if that is true it does not justify the violence or the checking of papers of random people on the street Brian. It is reminiscent of early days of nazism. Arab/Muslim culture is rife with anti-semitism and that is quite well evidenced/obvious.
Brian Smallshaw wrote:
And if the shoe was on the other foot and an Arab team was visiting and ripping down Israeli flags and yelling similar things, you’d be just as outraged when they got beat up, right?
Brian Smallshaw right, only i know the history and i have heard what the Muslims teach their children re “The Jews”. This has been going on for 100’s of years, more than 1000 years. The Arabs/Muslims have always been the instigators of violence and not the other way around. And they inevitably call out Allahu Akbar as they maim and kill, not just jews, christians, hindus, buddhists, ‘infidels’, but Jews are their favourite punching bag and scapegoat and have been all through history. However, i know that having gone on for months, following the herd of ‘free palestine’ you will never admit that you were wrong, that holes in your knowledge led you astray on this matter and that you failed to see the bigger picture, even though i presented that bigger picture to you plainly and clearly with historical evidence several times already, you will never admit that you were/are misled and mistaken about the root cause of the violence against the Jews, against Israelis. Are you aware of the history of the blood libels against the Jews propagated by Islamic teachers, Imams, Caliphs, and passed down to ‘mainstream’ muslims over the years, over the centuries? You should be because i’ve presented that information to you before. Blaming the jews for what is happening in Amsterdam is pretty whack. It’s like blaming them for what happened in Nazi Germany as many Nazi sympathizers and assorted conspiracy theorists do to this day. It’s no different in this case and you and those like you are are part of what is enabling it. You are enabling, aiding and abetting, and attempting to justify terrorism, murder, blatant racism. You are here in this very chat condoning the violence against Jews for being jewish, just as is taught in every mosque in Europe, which is why they are finally starting to tear some of them down, the worst offenders, all through Europe, such as the Blue Mosque. It’s happening in Germany, in the UK, in Denmark, in Sweden, in France, and elsewhere, finally. People have had enough of the hateful and backwards teaching of Islam in what is supposed to be ‘the free world’. This latest gestapo tactic executed by Islamists in Amsterdam is a sign and symptom of a mental cancer driven by irrational beliefs and irrational hatreds that runs deep in Islam and has done so for more than 1000 years.

The jews have long been persecuted, subjected to genocides, imprisoned, raped, enslaved, tortured and murdered by Muslims and Christians in history. Anti Jewish sentiment can be found built right into the Quran and the Hadiths. It is right there for any who wish to see it, in black and white. I will give some examples as well as historical evidence below. There have been many genocides of Jewish communities by Arab Muslims and Christians, mainly Catholics, over the years. The catholic church at one point had a dogma that the Jews killed jesus and were actively pushing this narrative from every pulpit, in every parish. The vilification and demonization of Jews goes back to the 2nd century in the Christian church, both the Orthodox and the Catholic picked up this narrative and held onto it for a long time, fomenting an irrational hatred and distrust of Jews among their parishioners. The notion of Jewish deicide emerged, with Justin Martyr and Melito of Sardis making the charge in the 2nd century. Subsequently there were the blood libels, blaming Jews for the black death, the Plagues of the middle ages, saying that your baby got sick because the Jews poisoned the wells, erroneous and false libels combined with superstitions such as the ‘evil eye’, etc etc. As far as the student protestors are concerned, many are young and naive and really don’t know that much about history, geo-politics, geography, philosophy, comparative religion, science…they are young and foolish. Most are probably well meaning and think that they are fighting for peace and for equal rights but they really don’t have any depth of understanding of the issues at hand or their causes or the reality of the situation in the region. They have also been bombarded with propagandistic misinformation, all part of The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas et al master plan which obviously has succeeded to a large extent. The success of their social media propaganda campaign is evidence that the majority of the population are not critical thinkers, not very well educated or astute, pathetically undereducated in history and science both, have not looked at religious history much if at all outside of their own religion. Some of us have been paying close attention to it for many moons however, have seen the red flags and been sounding alarm. Radical Islam/Islamism is of grave concern on planet earth, at this time in history. They are engaged in violent conflicts, or ‘holy jihad’ as they call it in more than 20 different countries right now and guilty of war crimes and various atrocities in all of those countries (at the risk of making a political statement there is nothing more unholy than an ultra-violent holy jihad in the 21st century or in previous centuries) By way of Illustration…
Here are some times in history when Muslim forces were responsible for genocide of Jewish populations.

So there is a bit of historical context that hopefully will help you to understand this issue in it’s fuller context and also a bigger picture than just Israel and the middle east.
Important to note that Israel is not alone, though that is clear from the lists I will write it plainly. There is a larger ideolgical war going on, i.e. Islam vs the western secular democracies, Islam vs. modern civil rights and freedoms, Islam vs. equal rights for ALL in the law. That is the bigger picture. Many of us in the west realize this and recognize that Israel is caught up tragically as a key pawn in the game. We in the west will not fail Israel in standing up for that which is truth, that which just, and right. We want a win/win, peace and prosperity and safety and security for ALL, and that does include Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Cargo Cultists, etc and we recognize that the main victims of Islam are, in fact, Muslims. They are in an ideological cage made from bars of fear, hate, and delusion from an early age and it’s a hard one to break free from as at the core of Islam is a repressive, regressive, coercive ideology that murders apostates and ‘infidels’ and uses their so called holy books to justify it so they do not even realize how evil they are actually being, all these centuries. The Christians have been also, the inquisitions, the witch-hunts, and the rape, pillage and conquest of the ‘new world’, various sectarian conflicts (sectarian conflics also common in Islamic countries, regimes, theocracies) the holocaust also and that is noted and detestable, however, it is Islamists that are, today creating the most death and destruction and unrest, wars and terrorism currently at this time in history and for the past 70 years or so. To add to the tragedy of all of this war, death, murder, kidnapping, rape and torture, destruction including environmental damage read this that i wrote a few days ago. None of these gods are even evidenced to be REAL, it is all a made up fantasy/delusion fabricated by humans to assuage our fear of death and insignificance, lack of comfort with open ended questions and the desire of sociopathic megalomaniacal madmen to control and dominate others.
*note
The Blue Mosque in Hamburg, Germany, has been shut down by the German government since July 2024. This decision was made due to its ties with the Iranian government and Hezbollah, promoting an extremist and totalitarian ideology, as well as aggressive anti-Semitism.
The mosque, officially known as the Islamic Centre Hamburg or Imam Ali Mosque, was one of the oldest in Hamburg and had been under scrutiny since 1993 due to its connections with Iran. Investigations revealed that the mosque’s director had received orders from Mehdi Mostafavi, a former advisor to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad .
The German government’s action wasn’t limited to the Blue Mosque; three other mosques affiliated with the Islamic Centre Hamburg were also closed . This move was condemned by Iran, with some officials accusing Germany of Islamophobia.
It’s worth noting that the closure of the Blue Mosque was a result of ongoing monitoring and investigations by German authorities, which ultimately led to the ban of the Islamic Centre Hamburg organization.
