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 understand what happened, how the mainstream media portrayed it, and how appalling that discrepancy is (carrying its own agenda), I highly recommend a video by Owen Jones.
If you haven’t understood by now how the mainstream media has chosen to serve and amplify the Israeli narrative, you might be struggling with this deconstruction, too.
If you have, I have my own commentary to add to Owen’s brilliant piece.
To illustrate the cowardice, the malpractice, and the complicity of the mainstream media when it comes to Israel, please watch the report that Sky News later deleted. Sky News didn’t dare to do journalism.
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.

If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
