The media’s framing of last night’s events in Amsterdam as “clashes” is both abhorrent, grossly dishonest, and in keeping with the “both sidesism” that has plagued coverage of attacks on Jews around the world. Anyone who witnessed it or watched videos from the scene knows this was an organized, vicious attack. Israeli soccer fans chanted hateful slogans. Some tore down Palestinian flags. That cannot be equated with dozens of Arabs in Amsterdam hunting down Jews in the street and beating them senseless. At least 5 were hospitalized. News organizations: do your job and report the truth. I am a journalist, and I expect so much more from fellow journalists. https://bird.makeup/@robertjenrick/1854867467845140607
