Amsterdam Unrest: Soccer Match Sparks Violence and Misinformation
A video showing violence during a soccer match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv was misrepresented by several media outlets, falsely claiming it depicted pro-Palestinian supporters attacking Israeli fans. In reality, the footage shows Israeli fans attacking locals and pro-Palestinian supporters. The misrepresentation led to international outrage, prompting corrections from media outlets like Tagesschau and DW. The video is under investigation by Amsterdam police, who have not yet identified the perpetrators.
