Several men were found guilty over attacks on Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans who visited Amsterdam last month, but the Dutch prosecutor said the violence was "not motivated by anti-Semitic sentiment."

The Amsterdam court found them guilty of a range of offenses, including beating Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in the street and inciting violence on messaging platforms.
A man identified only as Sefa O. was handed down the heaviest sentence of six months in prison for public violence against several people.
According to prosecutors, Sefa O played a "leading role" in the violence.
The court analyzed footage in which he is allegedly seen kicking a person on the ground, chasing his victims and punching other individuals in the head and body.
The prosecutor said the beatings had "little to do with football," but added that, in this case, there was no evidence of [...] a terrorist intent and the violence was not motivated by anti-Semitic sentiment."Israeli and EU leaders condemn Amsterdam 'antisemitic riots'

"The violence was influenced by the situation in Gaza, not by anti-Semitism," the prosecutor stressed.
What happened in November?
On the night of November 7 and into the next morning, fans of the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv were chased and beaten through the streets of Amsterdam, where the Israeli club had been playing local side Ajax. Five people were briefly hospitalized.
The attacks came after Maccabi supporters chanted anti-Arab chants, smashed a taxi and burned a Palestinian flag.
Another man identified as Umutcan A., 24, was sentenced to one month in prison for assaulting fans and violently tearing a Maccabi scarf from one of them.
Another man was also jailed for a month, one was sentenced to two-and-a-half months, and the other was given 100 hours of community service.
Defendant grew up in Gaza
A further defendant was a 22-year-old man identified as Abushabab M., who faces a charge of attempted murder. His case was postponed pending a psychiatric assessment. The defendant was born in the Gaza Strip and grew up in a war zone, his lawyer told the court.
Six other suspects are due to appear in court at a later date. Three of them are minors and their cases will be heard behind closed doors.
Police said they were investigating at least 45 people for the violence, including those perpetrated by fans of the Israeli club.
More white-on-black racism that didn’t happen to prove how rampant white-on-black racism is, from a story out of Tennessee:
An open meeting on campus culture is being held Wednesday night at Rhodes College.
The meeting was called after racist messaging targeting Black students was found on campus.
The vandalism was strewn across the National Panhellenic Council Plaza, which is the only space on campus to pay tribute to the historically Black sororities and fraternities.
Another false flag—one of the few political strategies the deceitful and crooked left actually has at their disposal—add it to the list.
Jussie Smollett and his “this is MAGA country” claim, Bubba Wallace and the “noose” garage pull, the black graduate student at the University of Buffalo who hung up “whites only” signs on campus bathrooms, the black University of Wisconsin-Parkside student who sent out race-based threats and hung up a noose in the dormitory room of another black student… who am I missing?
Are there ever any instances of real white-on-black race-based violence, as Matt Walsh says, “sprinkled in” to the mix? If there are, I’m not aware… and neither is Walsh:
On the contrary though, there are near-endless examples of black-on-white violence:
In 2019, for example, 3,299 white Americans were murdered; 566, or 17 percent, were killed by black perpetrators. That same year, 2,906 black Americans were murdered; 246, or 8 percent, were killed by white perpetrators. Adjusted for population size — there are far more whites in America (235 million) than blacks (47 million) — this means that approximately one out of every million white Americans killed a black person in 2019, while 12 out of every million black Americans killed a white person. Such numbers are reflective of a norm: every year from 2001 on, the number of black-on-white killings has approximately doubled the number of white-on-black killings. When it comes to violent crime generally, the same sad truth applies. In 2019, there were 562,550 reported violent black/white incidents. 472,570 were black on white — 84 percent.
And sadly, much of it is race-based; recall this, from a report at The Washington Post:
A white teenager cowers in a corner, his hands bound with orange cords and his mouth covered with tape. Four African-Americans kick and hit him and slash at his scalp. As a cellphone camera captures their blurry images and broadcasts the ordeal on Facebook, the attackers hurl racial insults and denounce President-elect Donald J. Trump.
Or consider that just a few weeks back, a “leader” of Black Lives Matter called for black “vigilantes” to start paying back white people with violence because Daniel Penny actually saw justice (as long as you don’t count that the process is the punishment) and wasn’t thrown in prison for restraining a homicidal, deranged man on the subway—this “leader” issued the call to arms while wearing a “Klux Busters” coat, and calling Neely’s death “white supremacy.”
The dead giveaway that what happened at Rhodes College was all a fabrication? Profanity along with a racial slur—who talks like that except Democrats?
Candra and her husband, Terrell Evans, filed a $50,000 lawsuit against the Clark County School District and superintendent Dr. Jesus Jara last year, alleging they engaged in 'unlawful grooming and abuse of a minor' over the assignment which they characterized as 'pornographic material.'
They say their unnamed daughter, a student at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, was made to perform the monologue written by a fellow student - in which a narrator came out as lesbian and talked about not liking 'd**ks.'
The passage was so lewd that Ms. Evans' microphone was cut off as she read it aloud during a school district board meeting last spring, and she was admonished for violating the board's decorum rules.
During deposition, school administrators also acknowledged that the content was inappropriate, with one saying it 'was not something that I felt should have been there,' and another testifying: 'I do remember the first time I read it, being in shock.
'What was written was not appropriate to be read and performed in a school setting... And so it crossed the boundary,' the administrator said, according to the American Center for Law and Justice, which represented the Evans family in this case.
District officials later decided to settle the suit for $25,000 and the understanding that the district would train Las Vegas Academy of the Arts teachers about its regulations. The district would also not admit any liability in the settlement, KLAS reports.
Candra Evans settled with the Clark County School District for $25,000
The Evans' alleged that their teenage daughter's theater teacher, Kelly Hawes, ordered her students in March 2022 to write monologues - and the one their daughter received was profane
The Evans' had alleged that their teenage daughter's theater teacher, Kelly Hawes, ordered her students in March 2022 to write monologues, which their classmates would then memorize and read aloud before the class.
The monologue their daughter was given involved a woman telling her ex-boyfriend she was a lesbian and describing how she never liked his penis or having sex with him.
It 'contained explicit, obscene and sexually violent material,' according to the lawsuit, which also claimed that Hawes 'helped the other student edit their obscenely violent pornographic monologue knowing that it would then be provided to another student to read, memorize and perform in front of the class.'
Ms. Evans said she learned of the assignment a month after it was performed.
'I didn't believe that the teacher would ever give a student something like this, so it was more shock,' she said of her reaction.
'Having to memorize that and to read that, I thought it was just so inappropriate.'
The worried mother then raised concerns about the assignment with school administrators, one of whom told her the district would handle the issue.
'[The administrator] empathized with them that he would be very upset if he found out that assignment had been given to his daughter,' the lawsuit read. 'He told them that plaintiffs were handling the issue better than he would and that it would not be swept under the rug. He promised he would make sure that it never happened again.
'Further, he agreed that [the teacher] should have stopped [the teenager] as soon as she heard the first line of the monologue.'

At that point, Evans agreed to let the administrator discuss the assignment with her daughter, but only if a female faculty member was present.
But when the meeting eventually did take place, only the male administrator was there, she claimed.
The parents then called for another meeting with more staff members, who then 'defended the obscene monologue and then blamed [the student] for reading it, stating that she could have said 'no,' but she didn't.'
The lawsuit said some faculty members later 'backtracked and admitted that the assignment was not appropriate for the classroom.'
'At any point, Hawes could have prevented this pornographic material from getting into the hands of children, but she refused,' the lawsuit said. 'When confronted about this, [Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Principal Scott Walker] and CCSD did nothing.'
'I wanted to hear somebody tell me, "Oh my gosh, this was so inappropriate. We're going to fix this. This shouldn't have happened,"' Evans explained to KLAS.
'But I didn't hear that.'
Clark County School District superintendent Dr. Jesus Jara and Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Principal Scott Walker were named in the lawsuit
Eventually, the Evanses decided to escalate the issue to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who told them they would need to file a report with the Clark County School District Police.
The lawsuit claimed that the family did file a report, but it was falsified by an officer who 'conspired with others.' Lawyers for the district later argued that no crime was ever committed.
Discouraged by the lack of response, Evans ultimately brought her complaints to a school board meeting, when she tried to read aloud from the monologue before being silenced.
As she began to read, her microphone cut and board trustee Evelyn Garcia Morales told her off for using the profane language.
'That you for your comment,' Morales said. 'Forgive me, we are not using profanity. This is a public meeting; I ask for decorum.'
'If you don't want me to read it to you, what was it like for my 15-year-old daughter to have to memorize pornographic material,' Evans shot back.

She addressed the Clark County School District board in May 2022, when the board cut off her microphone as she read the monologue her daughter was assigned
She has since praised the settlement, saying she thinks 'kids are going to be a lot safer from teachers like this one.
'In the end, what's most important is that my daughter can walk away from this proud because she made a change. She made a difference.'
Evans noted that her daughter was having a 'difficult time' after she was forced to read the monologue, 'and we feel [the teacher] took advantage of a 15 year old who just wanted to be a good student and get good grades.
'Our daughter never wanted to be in the public spotlight for something like this, just like most teens would not want that, so this was all very overwhelming and not an easy journey for her,' she said.
'We are happy to say, she's doing much better now.'
The girl graduated from high school with a weighted GPA of 4.625 and as an AP Scholar with honors.
She is now in her first year of college, and keeps busy by writing, singing and producing her own songs.
Keep these in mind as you contemplate the direction of the American government over the past 50 years and especially since the Obama election.
The Goals of Communism
(as read into the congressional record January 10, 1963, from "The Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
