In Amsterdam, Israeli Hooligans Reminded Us What The Mentality of Oppressor Looks Like

If you are used to being the oppressor – and the one with power – at home, you will very likely bring it wherever you go.

This is what happened in Amsterdam this week, where the behaviour of Israeli football fans met some resistance from pro-Palestine protestors.

To see how truly insane this world is, take a look at (the headline at least) of this article.

And as always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
