Given what he and everyone else is say, added it. MaskedSinger (talk) 12:18, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It came out that It was planned in advance on telegram and was referred to as Jew Night during the planning so it’s definitely a pogrom.
wanted to add it to the list of pogroms but that list is locked for me. 71.179.15.198 (talk) 17:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The wiki page about the event does not describe the event as a “progrom”. In fact: page is likely going to be renamed from “November 2024 Amsterdam attack” to “Amsterdam 2024 football riot” in an effort to more accurately describe the events. If the main page about the event does not classify it as a “progrom”, this page probably shouldn’t either. Yoshuawuyts (talk) 23:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
People saying things doesn't make it true, it is most likely speculation. Adding this to the Wikipedia page can have real harm for the truth, as it implies that it is an actual pogrom, but we don't know for sure. I think it should be removed until it is investigated to be true. Shadowbstr (talk) 12:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the speed with which the page was updated tells you everything you need to know about blatant bias on display from the editor RUSHING to dilute the meaning of the word pogrom by adding a small fights breaking out after the football match between hooligans disrespecting locals and tearing down flags and local population to the page, warping the narrative and omitting racist displays by the football fans prior to the fights that broke out
A shameful display 62.4.56.209 (talk) 18:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quote Amos Goldberg on Amsterdam riots

[edit]

In https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/11/14/genocide-en-antisemitisme-expert-amos-goldberg-in-gaza-is-een-genocide-gaande-a4873187 the Jewish scholar amos Goldberg rejects the claim that the events in Amsterdam are a progrom. Right now the section only includes a quote by Israeli state officials. We should include something like the following to also represent the other side:

Claims of the events in Amsterdam being a progrom have been widely disputed. Amos Goldberg, Professor of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, stated that: “[The riots in Amsterdam] have nothing to do with the progrom” and “the problem is the genocide in Gaza”.

Retraction of Amsterdam city major’s usage of the word “Pogrom”

[edit]

This article is locked so I can’t edit it directly, but regarding the events in Amsterdam it seems worth quoting the latest statement by Amsterdam’s major Femke Halsema (NOS: Halsema wouldn’t use the word “pogrom” again):

“If Femke Halsema did the press conference a day after Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv, she would not use the word 'pogrom' again. The Amsterdam mayor believes that that term has been used as "propaganda" by the Israeli government and Hague politicians, among others. "That's not how I meant it and wanted it," she tells Nieuwsuur.”

This seems relevant because currently the section only includes quotes by Israeli officials — which the Amsterdam city major is directly calling out as being propaganda. Yoshuawuyts (talk) 00:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should not this be pogrom? Dimadick (talk) 12:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are we going to equate every fight where 2 different ethnicities are involved to a, and I quote the article itself, "violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group"?
What is this silliness? A bunchs of tourists and agressive hooligans got attacked, stop abusing the page to call anything involving Jews a pogrom, this word has a deep and terrible meaning and it's stupid to equate a random fight post-match to a massacre and deliberate attempt to kill them 62.77.132.12 (talk) 15:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, I did typo it - thank you for catching that; fixed! Yoshuawuyts (talk) 23:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
