Israeli and Dutch leaders have condemned a mass attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam as clear and violent antisemitism.

Antisemitic rioters “actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them” after a soccer match in Amsterdam, authorities in the Netherlands said Friday, with police reporting five people hospitalized and 62 detained after a night of violence

    There is talk of a lot of things. Did she provide sources, or is it like Trump’s “people are saying…”?

    You’re correct that the US has adopted a terrible definition of antisemitism that conflates the state of Israel and the actions of its genocidal apartheid government with Judaism.

    Someone recently shared the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism with me, which I find to be a much more reasonable definition of antisemitism.

      Which makes no mention of confining it to religion, it supports exactly what I’ve said.

      Who does the definition cover?

      The definition applies whether Jewish identity is understood as ethnic, biological, religious, cultural, etc. It also applies in cases where a non-Jewish person or institution is either mistaken for being Jewish (“discrimination by perception”) or targeted on account of a connection to Jews (“discrimination by association”).

      Thank you for confirming that, and no, I’ve said nothing about how the us definition is terrible.

      The article and mayor are objectively correct in denouncing the antisemitism. Those are the facts, and that’s it. To suggest the article or mayor is lying to further your argument is misinformation.

      I will not entertain any further argument from you in this regard. The facts are against you.
