@RancidGinger My heart goes out to you and I am very, very sympathetic. And so very sorry.

I just cut my biological family out of my life for good. I feel so sad. I don’t understand how they could make such a disgusting choice and vote for Trump. I tried to give myself some space, to reflect, but in the end, all I can think is they’re just full of hatred.

What if… singing fuck the Arabs and tearing down a Palestinian flag is reprehensible AND watching someone scream “I’m not a Jew!” in order to stop getting beaten up IN EUROPE, understandably triggers the hell out of any Jew. What if… two things are true at the same time?

Pursuant to an earlier post. Dismissing what the evidence clearly reveals because it challenges a preferred sociopolitical narrative is intellectually disingenuous and extremely dangerous.

Here is one of the pogromists. He explicitly says he is going on a Jew hunt and curses the Jews. Jews. Not ‘Maccabi Tel Aviv fans’. Not even ‘Israelis’. Jews. Shame on every single person who denied that this was an antisemitic attack. Shame on every single person who positioned it as ‘football hooliganism’. Hang your heads.

@avygal The points of contact between video footage, eye witness reports of victims, and police reports. I’ll DM you with more later this evening. I hope all’s well with you.

@avygal The authenticity of the WhatsApp chats. I think they should be set aside and the other evidence of coordination, which is compelling, should be prioritized.

@MarkLeuchter So you’re saying you have reason to doubt….what exactly?

Our goal should not be pushing a narrative from a zero-sum triumphalist perspective, but shedding light on dangerous conditions in as responsible a way as possible. The goal must be to make things better, as much as is within our meager power to bring to fruition. 11/11

If someone with an expertise in studying violence and extremism in the Netherlands has good reason to question the veracity of a piece of evidence, it is a matter of intellectual and moral responsibility to take that position seriously. 10/
