    Ripping a Palestinian flag down while shouting to kill all Arabs isn’t someone “being offensive,” it’s doing violence. It’s no surprise that violence was met with more.

      Once again, you’ve missed the thread as well. The people doing the violence were not trying to find those specific people. They were hunting any Jews they could find.

        I have no idea what the article says, because it’s paywalled. All I can read is that someone with a group of Israeli soccer fans was attacked.

        This is not surprising, as Jewish soccer fans were chanted for the death of Arabs and violently ripped down other peoples property, which you called “being offensive.”

        But they weren’t attacking them for their religion right? So then it’s not antisemitism? /s

        Scary to see this kind of propaganda on Lemmy extend to the real world. People hunting various Jews in the streets and those actions get a pass from users here.
