Frankly, in this case I believe both sides... there clearly was instigation from Israeli hooligans and a strangely organized extreme response from muslim side.

But all in all it was a bit ..suspicious.. how fast both the media and Israeli government (even uncle Bibi) threw the word pogrom about.

So, this entire article is based on Twitter posts from random people to prove? Mmmm, I don’t know. Feels not very reliable

The people who recorded the videos said they were Israeli fans. One German media organization has already issued a retraction. Why would we not listen to the people who were there and recorded the footage?

The videos used in mainstream media were taken from Twitter and then wrongly subtitled. A Youtube video from a child came out which showed what really happened that night. https://youtu.be/ySHIOYyJ95A

Mainstream media is lying so much that a child without credentials is more credible.
