International Amsterdam residents express how Israelis spat at them, physically attacked them, threw alcohol and glass bottles at passers by while the police did nothing.

The hypocrisy in Europian countries is horrifying to me. Football hooligans from any country behaving badly can be criticised but not with Israeli hooligans. It is interpreted as anti semitic. BBC reported that the hooligans were attacked by residents of Amsterdam. Cannot trust new agencies anymore to state the truth

Israel has been infecting every member state since the Lisbon treaty that opened the door for lobbying.

Bombing Nordstream was showing off their control of the EU.

Ooooooh, fuck, it always bothered me how they made us (Ireland) vote twice on that one. It was for shit like this?

It always had provisions for more lobbying which is why I voted no 3 times.

Despite the "Yes Jobs" posters.

It was decentralization that kept Europe strong.

I just had a bad feeling about it because the messaging was so vague. I could pick up on general dishonesty, and felt railroaded (especially in 09), but I never did get a clear picture on the consequences. Had other shit going on, like most people. I'd even forgotten by now that it was really the third attempt.

... The implications of this are disturbing... If you can lie across all Western media, to protect football hooligans from a genocidal state chanting slogans about rape and murdering children, disrespecting Valencia victims, ripping poles and planks to go on rampages after a football loss - even in the face of abundant citizen footage - where's the limit? ... Is there one? I've an awful feeling that all this didn't even cost that much money :/
