Seven and a half months after the Amsterdam Jew hunt two official reports have been released. New details emerge about violent incident against Israeli soccer fans Two inquiries into the events said in reports Monday that social media posts coupled with a lack of official information fueled the violence that followed the November match. The Rotterdam-based Institute for Safety and Crisis Management, tasked by the Amsterdam government to investigate the response to the violence, said the lack of official communication from the city allowed rumors on social media to flourish. ... In a separate report, the inspectorate for the Justice Ministry concluded that the police were prepared for large-scale demonstrations, not the "flash attacks" perpetrated across the city and sparked by social media. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/new-details-emerge-about-violent-incident-involving-israel-soccer-fans

Remind me again- how much aid was Greta Thunberg delivering to Gaza on the Madleen?

If we're talking military capability without regard to the diplomatic consequences, the U.S. or Israel could sink the entire Iranian navy in about 10 minutes.

I've seen complaints in the mainstream media as well as AN because Israel doesn't allow international journalists free access to the Gaza war zone. Iran also bans journalists but doesn't come in for similar complaints. The Ayatollahs are tottering. Only the BBC hasn’t noticed In the case of Iran, the BBC reminds audiences that it is not allowed there, but does not criticise Iran for this. Instead, it concentrates on reporting from Israel, where it tries to make as much of the war damage as possible. This leads to a severe imbalance of reporting and analysis. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-ayatollahs-are-tottering-only-the-bbc-hasn-t-noticed/ar-AA1GNNwX?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=b4dfdc1a647045d784f88aa051dcd1ce&ei=78

Possibly the U.S. fears chaos in Iran and a massive wave of terrorism if the top political leadership is eliminated. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is obsessed with martyrdom. They really want to meet those 72 virgins! Trump vetoed Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader, US officials say WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trump-vetoed-an-israeli-plan-kill-irans-supreme-leader-us-officials-say-2025-06-15/

It's getting kind of creepy that you keep referring to a 22-year-old woman as a "little girl." She is as much an adult as anyone else who's over the age of 18. Why do you call her a "little girl?" Slowly now for the second time, so you understand. No one is afraid of Greta Thunberg as a person. She seems to have tired with climate-change activism and has begun expressing antisemitism, which is disturbing to many people. It's her beliefs about Jews that are wrong as they normalize antisemitism. It's absurd to compare opposition to Thunberg to opposition to Trump.

xxx Did you read the first paragraph of the OP, or even take notice of the title? I'm not moving any goalposts; it's Greta who has moved the goalposts herself, from climate change to the war against Hamas in Gaza. Her boat trip on the selfie yacht was definitely about Israel and the Jews, although she claimed it was a humanitarian mission to aid Palestinians. It seems Greta's concern over global warming has, uhh, cooled, and she's found a new hot issue in Israel's fight against terrorists who seek to destroy the homeland of the world's Jews. Unfortunately, she has been influenced by hardcore Hamas supporters and some of their hatred of Jews and the Jewish homeland has rubbed off on her. Given that Greta has acknowledged she suffers autism and bipolar disorder, I imagine she does indeed hate the blahs, but her doctor has probably prescribed Sertraline (Zoloft) to help with that. If she hates Mexicans or Muslims (and there's no reason to believe she does; I haven't heard her chant "Crush zapatismo" or "Crush Islamism"), then it would be a problem for Mexicans and Muslims, not me. Her hatred of Jews is a problem for me because antisemitism inevitably turns violent against Jewish people. The worst development possible is for antisemitism to become normalized.

To remind you once again: The words "My guess" in your sentence referred to military retaliation. If raining barrages of missiles on Israel isn't military retaliation, what would you call it? And I have to ask: By "covertly," do you mean terrorist bombings or other terrorist actions in the region (Middle East?) and in the West (Europe, North and South America, Australia)?

Seems like your guess was a bit off. Iran attacks Israel in retaliation, killing at least 3 and injuring dozens of others Sirens blared throughout Tel Aviv and smoke billowed in the sky as people ran for shelter during Iran's retaliatory strikes against Israel on Friday night into Saturday morning, killing at least 3 people and injuring dozens of others. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/13/nx-s1-5432437/israel-attacks-iran-retaliation-nuclear Katz says Ayatollah regime ‘crossed red lines’ with barrages at civilian centers, will pay heavy price Defense Minister Israel Katz says Iran has “crossed red lines after it dared to fire missiles at civilian population concentrations in Israel.” “We will continue to defend the citizens of Israel and ensure that the Ayatollah regime pays a very heavy price for its heinous actions,” he adds https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/katz-says-ayatollah-regime-crossed-red-lines-with-barrages-at-civilian-centers-will-pay-heavy-price/ Israel Warns ‘Tehran Will Burn’ If Iranian Strikes Continue as Countries Trade Deadly Missiles Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz on Saturday morning threatened severe consequences if Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei doesn’t retreat. “If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” Katz said, after a meeting with leaders of the Israeli military. “The Iranian dictator is turning Iran’s citizens into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attacks on Israeli civilians.” https://time.com/7294186/israel-warns-tehran-will-burn-deadly-strikes-traded-nuclear-program/ It's doubtful Iran has the military resources to close the Strait of Homuz. It could perhaps disrupt shipping to some degree, but not maintain an effective closure. Assessing the threat to oil flows through the Strait An excerpt: However, despite repeated Iranian threats to close the Strait of Hormuz during the Tanker War, Iran did not follow through with this threat. The only chokepoint to be completely blocked by a relatively recent regional conflict was the Suez Canal between 1967 and 1975. However, the Suez Canal is only 984 feet wide at its narrowest point, whereas the Strait of Hormuz is 25-30 miles wide at its narrowest point. https://www.strausscenter.org/strait-of-hormuz-faq/ The command structure of the Iranian military is hurt badly by these assassinations. The promotion of generals depends on their adherence to Islam and loyalty to the mullahs as much or more than their military skill and experience. Finding suitable replacements for the generals killed could take the mullahs awhile.

There's another meaning of "folded" according to the Urban Dictionary. I interpreted @NickyLouie's comment to mean top Iranian miliary commanders and scientists were killed. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Folded&page=1

Ah, I get it! A reference to the tentacles represented by Greta Thunberg's deleted octopus!

Greta Thunberg is a young woman, not a little girl. It's not her size or gender that worries anyone, but her poisonous antisemitic ideas. The risk is that some people who admired her stance on climate change could be influenced by her hatred of Israel and Jews.

The few part of this video are very inspiring.

Yup. Under the Shah, Iran had amicable relations with Israel, including full diplomatic recognition. Iran had been the only Muslim-majority country to do so. Iran has a large military force, with close to one million men under arms, counting both active duty personnel and reservists. However, the Iranian armed forces are undertrained and underequipped. Much of the military equipment the military uses is obsolete, especially the Iranian Air Force. It has virtually no air defenses against Israel. Another problem is that the Iranian armed forces are poorly led, with officers of all ranks chosen more on belief in Islam and loyalty to the mullahs than military skill. And should Iran ever become involved in a war than required full deployment of its armed forces, it would face a very real risk of domestic rebellion from those tired of the Islamist government as well as minority groups such as Kurds, Azeris and Balochs. The Iranian government remains in power through tight control by the military of all opposition. If it is diverted from domestic suppression, rebellion is almost certain. Iran's leaders know that well. It's a bit hard to know when people are being tongue-in-cheek. Through the years, I've heard many opponents of Israel suggest in all seriousness that Israelis should be moved to the U.S.

I took the nonstop Thai NYC-BKK flight during its first week of service in 2005 and then three or four times a year until it was canceled in 2008. It was indeed a great flight, the best possible way to get from the east coast of the U.S. to Thailand. It had a convenient departure time (noon if I remember right) and arrived at four in the afternoon rather than late at night. Return times for BKK were similarly convenient- departure at midnight and arrival at JFK at 7:00 a.m. More than once after a Thailand trip I went directly from JFK to my office. The nonstop flight gave visitors more time to enjoy Thailand than any other flight option. However, the BKK-JFK nonstop never proved as popular as Thai had hoped. It failed to attract enough of the full-fare business class passengers who provided most of the revenue. After about six months the BKK-JFK service was cut from six days a week to four. Only one of the 11 flights I took out of JFK was completely full, although several to JFK had been. The chatter on Flyer Talk in 2008 was Thai canceled the service because it failed to hedge against surging jet fuel prices, which made the route unprofitable even if it every flight would have sold out.

You can't relocate a historical homeland. And moving all Israelis to New York wouldn't give Jews a sovereign homeland, which is an absolute necessity for the survival of both Jews and Judaism.

The worst ones yet. The first one is OMG, the definition of a nightmare/

I absolutely loathe her ideology and political positions, but I don't think she's all that bad looking. I wouldn't argue about 3,000 baht for S/T, but it would have to include CIM..

AOC and Ilhan Omar aren't too bad looking, but the other two members of the Squad are certainly far to the left of pretty.

Greta's body language depended on her autism, not composure and conviction.

Another entertaining video. It's amazing that people who commit multiple felonies and then lead police on a chase that endangers many lives expect to be treated gently when arrested. The suspect becomes very compliant very quickly when the K-9 gets ahold of him.

Good analysis from an Australian perspective. I doubt U.S. commentators would be allowed to be that disrespectful.

Greta is skilled at agitating about climate change. However, she has very little education and its doubtful she understands the science behind the climate change debate.

The Prime Minister of France would seem to agree. France says aid boat activists exploiting Gaza suffering France's Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Wednesday accused French activists who sailed on a Gaza-bound aid boat of capitalising on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for political attention. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/france-says-aid-boat-activists-exploiting-gaza-suffering/ar-AA1GwjC8?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W230&cvid=f56118899cc3440e96c27b7d3d012243&ei=50France says aid boat activists exploiting Gaza suffering

I have every reason in the world to doubt Greta Thunberg is "very principled" or "has strong moral beliefs," but I'm not going to elaborate because that would provoke argumentative responses and would certainly veer off topic. I will say I don't find the strength of anyone's beliefs helps prove the validity of those beliefs. It's what those beliefs involve that's crucial, not how intensely they are held. I'm sure Hitler, Hamas and Greta all strongly believed in what they did or do, but that doesn't make their hatred of Jews any more acceptable. And on a lighter note ... It seems the Israeli government does have a sense of humor. When they deported Greta, they put her in the worst seat (non-reclinable last row aisle seat next to the toilet) on an El-Al flight to Stockholm via Paris. For a "flight shamer" like Greta, that must have been punishment in more ways than one.
