They were expecting this but disregarded the most sensible option of canceling the match due to political optics

Exactly. Companies are typically working on multiple conflicting scenarios because you don't know which it's going to be

More reporting on the Israeli hooligans https://lemmy.world/post/21812344

 

This video shows how the Israeli hooligans misbehaved. Videos are being posted of what happened in Amsterdam between hooligans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Amsterdam locals. Their later clashes with locals were widely reported, but nobody mentioned they were misbehaving already before that (they're football hooligans, after all) and that they had ample opportunity to go to their hotels or be escorted by police, but they chose to roam the city and pick fights. FAFO. Israels genocide surprisingly unpopular around the world, who would have thought

On the ground reporting from Dutch young journalist Bender: https://youtu.be/ySHIOYyJ95A
Turn on English closed captions. See for yourself what happened and how these hooligans came to our town to riot. This has nothing to do with antisemitism, and everything to do with racist football hooligans supporting Israels actions in Gaza

Dutch person here. Don't forget to include the part where israeli football hooligans shouted pro-genocide lines, attacked taxi drivers, and tore Palestinian flags off of people's homes. These Israelis came here and should have known that Israeli's were not welcome to promote their genocide. In fact, I think a majority did know and them coming here was a provocation. This has nothing to do with antisemitism or them being Jewish, but everything to do with actions of the Israeli government and this football club's racist provocations earlier this week

What does that do?

It leaves you stuck in the system you have along with those players. You can vote third party, organize around a different election system, but don't shit on people who see that as wasted effort at best and sabotage at worst. They're not wrong, because it's an all-or-nothing play. You're shooting the moon. If you vote third party, you'd better be 100% sure they're gonna win or you're just wasting your vote you could have used to cancel a fascist's vote. Don't say "they choose not to" but realize you're demanding they take a huge risk with small chance of success (zero chance if you don't organize and just complain on the internet)

It's the reality of first past the post. Third party voting is simply almost never an option. You're mad at a natural law of the election system. Don't hate the players, hate the game

My grandfather had a number tattooed on his arm. Never again means never again for everyone.

Shame on Israel. Zionism is an evil racist ideology, distinct from Judaism
