Frankly, in this case I believe both sides... there clearly was instigation from Israeli hooligans and a strangely organized extreme response from muslim side.
But all in all it was a bit ..suspicious.. how fast both the media and Israeli government (even uncle Bibi) threw the word pogrom about.
- I feel I do need to leave this here:
  DDN investigation - What REALLY happened in Amsterdam
So, this entire article is based on Twitter posts from random people to prove? Mmmm, I don’t know. Feels not very reliable
- The videos used in mainstream media were taken from Twitter and then wrongly subtitled. A Youtube video from a child came out which showed what really happened that night. https://youtu.be/ySHIOYyJ95A
  Mainstream media is lying so much that a child without credentials is more credible.
- This Al Jazeera article as well
- As well as the original story as reported by Skynews before they replaced it in lockstep with other media.
  How would you make it more reliable?
- The people who recorded the videos said they were Israeli fans. One German media organization has already issued a retraction. Why would we not listen to the people who were there and recorded the footage?
