    Zionist Rampage & Narrative Distortion in Amsterdam [Dispatch] w/ Jazie Veldhuyzen

    In this dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, bring on left-wing Amsterdam City Council member Jazie Veldhuyzen to discuss the recent events that took place in Amsterdam surrounding an Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv football match, where violent Zionist hooligans went on a rampage through the city, but the media and major Dutch politicians instead characterized the event as a "modern pogrom" until the facts became too clear to ignore.  This is a really important discussion that not only clarifies that specific situation, but also examines how Zionism influences narratives in mainstream discourse, why to remain vigilant in the face of these distortions and lies, and how to build movements in the face of these narratives and distortions.  Recommendations that were mentioned in this episode were the article by Asa Winstanley, our comrade from Electronic Intifada, titled NY Times killed investigation of Israeli hooligans, internal email reveals, as well as discussions on The Majlis around the IHRA "definition" of antisemitism.  Check out The politics of the IHRA definition of Antisemitism and Academic Freedom as well as IHRA, Bill 168 and Academic Research and Teaching. Jazie Veldhuyzen is an activist, social worker, and Amsterdam City Council member and party chairman for De Vonk.  Follow him on Instagram or on twitter @JazieAnthony.  You can also follow De Vonk on Instagram.
