The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has once again invaded Europe. Last Thursday, the clashes which took place in the Netherlands on the sidelines of the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Five people were hospitalized and sixty-two others were arrested. The opportunity was obviously given to some to cry pogrom. And if it is undeniable that it is indeed a manifestation of pure and harsh anti-Semitism… as far as the “pogrom” is concerned, that is debatable.
Indeed, images showing Israeli supporters joyfully chanting “ There are no schools in Gaza, because there are no more children! » exploded on Telegram groups (where there is no censorship) and several Palestinian flags were torn from the windows. And if the mayor of Amsterdam deplored “an explosion of anti-Semitism”, Peter Holla, the police chief in Amsterdam, declared “ The violence had already started on Wednesday evening between supporters. It was a night with incidents on both sides. Maccabi supporters removed a flag from a facade of the Rokin and destroyed a taxi. A Palestinian flag was set on fire at the dam. » Even theHuffington Post denounced racist behavior among supporters of the Hebrew State, that is to say.
At minute 18 images of Israeli supporters
We are therefore a little far from the brave innocents attacked by obscure anti-Semites… Which did not prevent victim narratives, as on Europe 1where, in an absolutely lunar radio broadcast Muriel Ouaknine-Melki, President of the European Jewish organization, told her truth: that of people of Jewish faith gratuitously martyred by anti-Semitic supporters, without the people watching the scene reacted. Which could have happened if the aforementioned images had not been widely shared on the networks, by the authors of the songs, moreover.
And the lawyer continues: “ the European Jewish Organization recommends that the Jews of France learn to defend themselves“, while recalling that “ apart from this possibility of having recourse to our lawyers in a pro-bono manner to come and defend themselves in court, we also teach whoever wants to come, to defend themselves physically“. Nothing to shock the readers of these lines, but it is clear, once again, that some can : let’s imagine a second Marion Maréchal inviting the French to learn to defend themselves… There is no doubt that the cries, the tears and the complaints would arrive from all sides in less time than it takes to say it.
Once again, it is only possible to evoke the joys of multiculturalism when others are paying the price. By “others”, we must understand everyone except the native. The little white guy just has to endure the violence, attacks, rapes and racism on a daily basis by keeping his mouth shut. No question of defending yourself. The young people of Alvarium, worried by the French justice system for having defended their local association, remember it.
As for whether anti-Semitism is resurgent in Europe, we can only agree with the observation of the speakers from Europe 1. While recalling that we would really have to be naive to believe that importing millions of Muslims and leaving a Benjamin Netanyahu freewheeling to massacre thousands of Gazan civilians would be without consequence…
