Last month a visit from Israeli football club Maccabi in Amsterdam resulted in violence erupting throughout the city. To gain a better understanding of the events, we worked with Dutch newspaper @Trouw to analyse videos that circulated online. trouw.nl/binnenland/wat-gebeur…

in reply to Bellingcat • • •The reason that the first part is centered around a war criminal (Matan Kaminski, the Gaza reservist) sets immediately the tone for the rest of this piece of Israeli propaganda. It even tries to build sympathy for this IDF soldier. Journalists should know that most readers only read the first part (or worse, only the header and the intro). So as a journalist you have extra responsibility to be extra neutral in the first part of an article. This is clearly not the case.
The rest of the article tries to straighten this out, but it didn't succeed. This article is a poorly sourced biased piece of framing. There have been better reports about what happened during these days, also focusing on the framing news media and the even more and dangerous framing by many politicians. Almost all people from #Amsterdam knew what happened these days and it was not what you describe.
This is really unworthy for #Bellingcat, but also not surprising; because

This is really unworthy for #Bellingcat, but also not surprising; because Bellingcat made more mistakes since October 7 2023. Starting with one of your staff members who, in a Dutch talkshow, uncritically repeated the comprehensively debunked propaganda lies by the Israeli state.
