Can you give me some context here?

Those Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam last week.

Ok, but I don't understand what I'm seeing in the two videos, or what the difference between them are...

In the first part of the video Sky News (the British Fox News equivalent) correctly identifies the attackers as the Israeli hooligans, and in the second part they obscured this by saying hooded men dressed in black. The audio narrative is different.

Ok, now I get it. Thanks for the clarification.

Audio required. First video correctly identifies the hooligans as Maccabi fans attacking locals.

Sky News took down that video and replaced it with a video saying "a large group of hooded men attacking people at random". They removed mentions of Israel as perpetrator and kept the video intentionally vague. To insinuate the mob was not Israelis but a pogrom of antisemites.

Understood, bow would i know from that video if they are israeli hooligans or not? From what i see either version could be wrong and the other false. Has sky issued a statement about this change?
