    Why would you attack a civilian at a football game just because you hate their government?

      Maybe because OPs title implies the fans weren’t cheering for the death of Gazan kids, tearing down Palestinian flags, and generally threatening Muslims?

      Not to mention many of the fans “attacked” were reservists for the IDF - actual fucking war criminals are being allowed to attend international football matches because the Dutch govt is complicit in genocide.

      It’s football. Attacking civilians because they wave around the wrong flag, or just wearing the wrong color of t-shirt or scarf is reason enough for a beating.
