I don't see people calling for decency when it's brown people on the receiving end. I only see people calling for decency when people call out/fight back against the agressors.

I am sorry, if my words somehow offended you. I never intended them to be interpreted in such a way, nor am I limiting my compassion by skin color or species.

I meant to reply to the other person.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are not the ones bombing Gaza. The only logic you're following here is that being Israeli means you're fair game.

Remember how in post-9/11 America violence against Arabs residents and businesses skyrocketed, despite their only connection being country of origin, ethnicity, or religion? That's what Jews around the world are experiencing because of Gaza - because of people like you.

You're so close to self realization. Neither are the Arabs living in Amsterdam part of Hamas. Yet that didn't stop these Israelis from burning flags, taunting people, saying horrible things like "Fuck Arabs" and causing trouble in the Netherlands of all places.

Israeli people spewed venom, burnt palestinian flags and taunted amsterdam residents. You're saying that retaliating is antisemitic. I say that's bullshit.

Remember how in post-9/11 America violence against Arabs residents and businesses skyrocketed, despite their only connection being country of origin, ethnicity, or religion? That's what Jews around the world are experiencing because of Gaza - because of people like you.

You seem to be manufacturing the racism by twisting what I said. I only said those who choose violence shouldn't be surprised people are retaliating with violence. It's not my problem that you incorrectly think people are retaliating because of your origin instead of your behavior.

The behavior of the Maccaba Tel Aviv fans had consequences. Now Israel and the general media is trying to avoid talking about the behavior that started all this and deliberately focusing on the retaliation as if it happened because of the identities of the people.
