You need to understand a bit about Novara Media perhaps.

Seems like a weird reaction. You watched it? I am sure its not the whole story, but in terms of the specific clip it examines, it seems far more thorough than most of the other news reports that I've seen. Have you any thoughts on the information presented? Do you think the media was right to ignore the facts that were presented to them by the person who actually filmed the clips they used? Do you disagree that this is a case of deliberate disinformation?
What do you think they have got wrong here?

Did you watch the section I refered to? What do you think of the original sky video, or the video reporter claiming their footage was misused by mainstream media or the teenage reporter who got threatened by macabi fans for recording what they were doing?
As AOL would say: Wow, just wow.
The fact that the owner of the footage approached Reuters to correct their reporting, the fact that Sky changed their tack but refused to respond to enquiries is so damning. The way that so many media companies refused to condemn the Israeli fans/government and false reporting is just astonishing.
And yet many media outlets will suppress any kind of criticism why exactly? Influence. Any sane person knows who wields this influence. But so many are not only scared to say who it is, but actively shut down those who dare to whisper it. How can this be happening in the 21st century?

If you're not 'scared', say who it is
You would love me to be off this and similar threads, I ain’t making it that easy for you.

Weirdly enough, I wouldn't.
You're funny.
& none too bright & obsessively committed to your particular racism, obvs
Israeli fans causing trouble in France last night as well now. Unless trouble just follows them around of course, and if it does then I wonder why? Time to tell them to go play in Asian tournaments.

Did you watch the video by the dutch teenager that was posted shortly after I first posted that video? Or are you just going to ignore the original journalist of the video with the israeli fans claiming that media has used it for disinformation saying it was the israelis being attacked and chased when it was the other way round? Or Sky originally having a balanced video then removing it and posting a one sided replacement and then removing that too? Any comments on any of this? Or are you just going to continue acting in bad faith? I'm able to be big enought to see the faults in the pro-palesitine movement you've liked posts of me saying so, why can't you be grown up enough to admit that hey maybe the fans of the notoriously racist (i.e notorious for it in Israel) israeli club might have been acting like a bunch of twats?
Quite a good article about how the press reacted.

Kneejerk response, then overcorrection: what the aftermath of the Amsterdam violence should teach us | Rachel Shabi
Assumptions were made about clashes between Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and Amsterdam locals – and the far right took advantage, says author Rachel Shabi

And you defend the IDF, Israel, Netanyahu and Jewish racism no matter what.
