"Four out of 62 suspects detained during the violence, which included 10 Israelis, remain in custody. Police are still looking for suspects."

So the majority arrested were not Israeli.

Just spotted this anomaly last night.

A young girl from Russia? is apparently the head of the legal team for the Palestinian football association.

Last night she was speaking to France 24 wile the video of the Israelis beating up Dutch people was playing in the back ground, video which was depicted as if those chasing and beating the Dutch should have been pro Palestinian protesters. She not only did nothing to tell the audience that the video shown was of israeli hooligans chasing and beating up people, but also spoke about antisemitism as some how part of the reason for the violance.

Unfuking believable.

I guess we know now why israel has not been suspended or kicked out from any sport league.

I know some British tourists that were in Amsterdam at the time. They saw all the attacks by Muslims and even tried to help some Israelis who were being attacked. This attack on the Israelis had been planned between social media users, including police and cab drivers. They had a gang outside every exit from the football stadium. At no point did they see the Israelis attacking anyone.

Your post is pure fiction. It’s documented the Israeli thug fans went on the rampage attacking locals in Amsterdam.

Your anonymous "anecdote" or all the footage showing us exactly what happened in Amsterdam? A tough one, "teamwork86".

Valid analysis of the mainstream media. In a sea of analysis of mainstream media and politics.

The ‘alternative media’ is dead. RIP

The only positive aspect to this whole situation is that it is opening more peoples' eyes as to what is really happening in Palestine and in the world. Where we once thought we could trust Walter Cronkite and mainstream news, we now know we must take everything they say with a grain of salt.

More like you must take anything they say at all - its all lies. Only question is what is the format of the lie.

I had nightmares after watching this - evil beyond comprehension ... If there is any justice left on this God Forsaken planet, each and every participant, be it soldier, politician/diplomat, arms supplier or 'thumb twiddling' pen pushers in the deliberate and orchestrated Genocide of the Palestinian People and their Aid Workers - MAY THEY ROT IN HELL FOR ETERNITY ...

Thanks Jonathan- I wrote to BBC Newsnight Complaints team,, and am waiting for a response. They are truly awful, and clearly work for Israel.

This makes one lose faith in not just the media but most of our institutions and humankind in general.

Agreed- have you noticed all, or most of the 'middle east correspondents' at the BBC are Jewish? There are no Arab or Muslim reporters, or none that I can see.

The 2 main reporters are Jeremy Bowen and Orna Guerins. Neither is pro Israel. Who can you name that is Jewish? Even if Jewish, that doesn't mean they support Israel.

I would commit to giving the equivalent of my UK tv license to support a full spectrum media cooperative employing journalists like Jonathan Cook to report 'freely, honestly, and morally'. Ideally, it would build towards establishing everything from a school of journalism through broadcasting, soc. media, print and books, documentaries, billboards, tickers, etc.

Yes, I agree, Nancy! We need more truth and less Israeli spin. I despise the Israeli lobby and our corrupt media, who bow to them. Pathetic.

It's like a train you can't stop.

It’s shocking to see by this story how much the msm media are lying to us. I know they were bad but this exposes them to anybody that cares to look what dog shit they feed us daily and most people lap it up.

This is what they have been doing for decades. To white washing western colonizers crimes in Middle East.
