While I don't dismiss the fascist streak in the Trump-supporting Israeli right wingers, and with all due respect to Mr Cassif, there was no shortage of fascists in Amsterdam, as the events in question show, before a single Israeli soccer fan arrived there.

It just so turns out that some fascists are more violent, more bigoted, more numerous and more organized, and more of an imminent and permanent threat than others. And even Mr Cassif must realize, despite his awkward display of both-sideism on social media, that the law makes a distinction between speech and physical violence.

The content and the context of his tweet do not change the facts of the crimes one bit.
