"Hamas is hiding in Amsterdam"

Mike Whitney • November 10, 2024

Was the Maccabi soccer fan rampage in Amsterdam a Mossad operation?

That’s not an easy question to answer, but there are clues suggesting that there’s more here than meets the eye.

Let’s start with Max Blumenthal’s observation that the Maccabi fans did not seem to be randomly blowing off steam like young men in crowds tend to do but appeared to be under a loosely-organized command structure. Here’s what Blumenthal posted on X:

The footage is notable not only because it exposes the Maccabi thugs provoking violence, but because they can be clearly seen coordinating their actions like a military unit, while reportedly escorted by Mossad agents. At one point, an Israeli thug threatens the young journalist and orders him not to film their rampage. Meanwhile, local police disappear for long periods. @MaxBlumenthal

This phenomenon was noticed by a number of other observers and can be seen in the 17-minute video that was taken by the young Dutch boy (Bender) who has become a celebrity overnight for his relentlessly intrepid journalism. He followed the Israeli mob through the streets of Amsterdam for hours recording their erratic and violent activities until the end when they were corralled by Dutch police and bundled off to the hoosegow. A careful viewing of this video shows the Maccabi throng stopping from time to time and being directed by the leaders in the group. Were they Mossad agents?

We can’t say for sure, but it certainly looks suspicious; and others have drawn the same conclusion, like Adam who posted this:

It has been confirmed Mossad was in attendance on the night in question. It has also been confirmed that provocation was endless. Now we know why. To increase both Islamophobia and Jewish victims status.@AdameMedia

Or Peter:

This was a planned operation by Israel to drag Europe into it’s insane warmongering.
A city where Jews and Arabs get on with life was the ideal opportunity.@PeterPetermac1

Or Mirror:

It looks planned. They want their Zionists to look like victims. They want to scare the Jews back in Palestine, to stay in Palestine. Antisemitism is a zionist art @mirroraqsa

Or ASE:

Israel media reported that the Mossad was joining Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam. The goal was known, provoke, attack locals and ordinary citizens, particularly those supporting Palestinian humanity, like taxi drivers @ASE

Or Alberto:

The Dutch police seemed to be very concerned with PROTECTING the Israeli thugs. I have no doubt that this was planned and coordinated between Netanyahu and Wilders as excuse to expel Muslims out of the Netherlands. @AlbertoD2022

Or Rich:

Sounds like it was an Israeli public relations operation from the beginning – to stir trouble with locals which would then ensnare bystander Jews so they could then be harmed & framed as victims of Islamo-fascism. Meanwhile then Israel has another reason to go hard against Arabs. @richseng

Or Diane:

It is a classic maneuver I saw often during the Bosnian conflict, where a group deliberately provokes and then blames the other side. That said, I want to be clear I condemn all violence.@DianePaul593823

Of course, all this is just speculation, but what’s certain is that Mossad agents did accompany the Maccabi fans to the Netherlands. We know that because it was posted as a headline at the Jerusalem Post. Check it out:

So, the Mossad was present. The question is whether they were actively engaged in what-amounts-to a massive psyops using the footballers to advance their dark agenda?

We can’t answer that, but we can say that it is highly unusual for a government to deploy its intelligence agents to a football match in a foreign capital. Who else does that?

No one, which begs the question of whether they were enlisted to participate in a covert “dirty tricks” operation that required their professional supervision. What might that involve?

Let’s say, Netanyahu wanted to improve Israel’s public image—that has been dragged through the mud due to its genocide in Gaza—he might approve a plan to provoke social unrest in Amsterdam so he could use his vast media connections to decry the (inevitable) Muslim retaliation as a sudden surge of antisemitism. He might even be able to persuade his media lackeys to downplay the contemptible behavior of his racist soccer team and focus instead on the reaction of the Muslim cab drivers. (who were the targets of Maccabi’s hostility.) Check this out article from NBC News:

Roving gangs on scooters attacked and beat Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, overnight in an outburst of what authorities called antisemitic violence.

Footage circulating on social media showed supporters of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team being chased down and assaulted on Thursday night, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam’s central station that showed fighting on the streets between the Israelis and their attackers.

“Boys on scooters crossed the city in search of Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters,” Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said. “It was a hit-and-run. Football fans were beaten and scared, after which the rioters quickly left again, fleeing the police force that was on the move en masse yesterday….

The violence unfolded in a city that was once home to a young Anne Frank and her family as they hid from Nazi occupiers during World War II.

“Yesterday there was an outburst of antisemitism such as we had hoped to see no more in Amsterdam,” Halsema said. “I express the strongest condemnation of the violence that has taken place. Among our Jewish Amsterdam residents there is fear, dismay, anger, disbelief.”…

“Rioters” had “actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them,” Halsema’s office said in a statement. Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, NBC News

OMG! Are they actually dredging up the memory of Anne Frank to defend the violent thuggery of racist hooligans?!?

Yes, they are.

Did the journalist who wrote this nonsense even check the internet to see what actually took place? Does he realize that even the official Amsterdam police report conflicts with his absurdly inaccurate version of events?

This article is so divorced from reality and, yet so similar to the many other cookie cutter articles now appearing in the MSM, that there must be a coordinated effort to twist the truth and convince the public that the perpetrators are actually the victims. Is that why the Mossad accompanied Maccabi to Amsterdam, to create an incident that could be used shore up Israel’s battered image as the perennial victim? Here’s how political analyst Kevork Almassian summed it up:

Observe carefully: every single Israel supporter has been parroting the exact same words since the Amsterdam street clashes. Coincidence? Hardly. They’re following a script—a coordinated media campaign, plain and simple. And now, ask yourself: What were Mossad agents and Israeli soldiers doing among the football hooligans? Were they there to ignite the violence? Let’s not pretend that foreign intelligence agents were just on a casual visit. @KevorkAlmassian

Does that sound convincing to you? It does to me. This is from an article at The Cradle:

Mainstream Dutch media, amplified by Israeli and Western outlets, rapidly reframed the events as a “pogrom” targeting Jews, erasing the context of hooligan provocations that had sparked the clashes. Reports sensationalized the violence, describing it as premeditated antisemitic attacks. In an almost farcical twist, some claimed emergency evacuation flights were arranged to rescue the supposed victims, conjuring images of 19th-century Russia with mass murders and burning villages.

The exaggerated narrative conveniently shifted the focus from the hooligans’ provocations to a carefully constructed portrayal of victimhood…. Together, their voices turned a night of chaos into a carefully crafted crescendo of victimhood, obscuring the provocations that had sparked the backlash.

By the end of November 8, the story was no longer about hooligan aggression but had been rewritten to serve political and media agendas, shifting attention from the truth to a spectacle of moral outrage. The manufactured ‘pogrom’: Weaponizing chaos in Amsterdam, The Cradle

“Premeditated antisemitic attacks”? “A pogrom targeting Jews”? In liberal Amsterdam; are you kidding me?

So, what’s really going on here, and why do so many of the commenters think that this oddball (Mossad?) operation in Amsterdam has something to do with strengthening the idea of Jewish victimhood?

They feel that way because all the legacy media and all the powerful western politicians have deliberately misrepresented what actually took place in order to cast the Israeli bullies as helpless victims. That’s why.

So, naturally, many people have concluded that Israel greatly values its designation as the “perennial victim”, which makes sense, after all, a victim is “one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment” (Merriam-Webster). He is not the one who oppresses or inflicts hardship or oppression. And a victim can act with complete impunity, because he is the target of abuse and not the perpetrator. Thus, a victim can carry out the most heinous crimes imaginable—even genocide—while claiming to be completely blameless because—as the victim—he acts only in self-defense.

See? Victimhood is the perfect alibi for bad behavior.

Is it any wonder why Israel would opt to strengthen that ‘gold-plated’ designation by provoking an incident that would resurrect the ghost of European antisemitism?
