"There was a Ustasha-Nazi gathering in Split and a typical antisemitic outburst without Jews. Supposedly, there is some connection between Ajax and Jews, which could be the motivation for the hooligans to sing those songs and chant. But the causes are, of course, much deeper. They lie in the traditional, right-wing antisemitism based on the thesis of Jews as the murderers of Christ, then on the theory that they had a constantly negative impact on Croatian society, as well as on claims that minimize or completely reject the Ustasha responsibility for the liquidation of three-quarters of the Jewish community in the NDH," Goldstein said." #antisemitizam #ustašizacija #Split (translated)

Historian Ivo Goldstein criticizes the authorities for allowing and encouraging Ustašaization in Croatia, emphasizing that the recent incident in Split with fans who glorified Hitler and shouted antisemitic messages reflects deeper embedded issues of antisemitism in society. #antisemitizam #ustašizacija #Split (translated)

In a survey of more than 50,000 participants, 86% of respondents are asking the government to take action against the violent behavior of Torcida fans following scandalous incidents during the match, including antisemitic and Nazi messages. #Torcida #antisemitizam #nacizam (translated)

The chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hajduk, Ljubo Pavasović Visković, condemned the antisemitic chants from the spectators and responded to the criticisms, emphasizing that the club cannot replace the role of the police and the educational system in the upbringing of young people. #Hajduk #Torcida #antisemitizam (translated)

The first is to the Torcida youth. Open your eyes wide, guys. You are misled; you have made a mistake; reconsider who your leaders are and who suggested that this be done. Speaking about the antisemitic and Nazi chants of the Torcida fans during the march before the match between Hajduk and Ajax, former Croatian national football team player and coach Igor Štimac stated that everything appears to be premeditated. #torcida #antisemitizam #Split (translated)

Igor Štimac warns the youth from Torcida that they are being misled and calls on them to question their leaders due to antisemitic chants at the match between Hajduk and Ajax, while the police are conducting an investigation and looking for additional suspects. #torcida #antisemitizam #Split (translated)

"I cannot in any way come to terms with the fact that we are talking about this now instead of watching and enjoying the recording of that match and celebrating the victory." The President of Most, Nikola Grmoja, also condemned the statements of hatred and violence, including calls to kill Jews. #antisemitizam #fašizam #Torcide (translated)

From its not-so-glorious history, we know that after Jure and Boban, a logical continuation is Hitler and gas chambers. Arsen Bauk (SDP) assessed that the behavior of Torcida before the match between Hajduk and Ajax is not an isolated incident but a continuation of the systematic shifting of the boundaries of acceptability of fascism in Croatian society, the relativization of the Ustaša salute "For the Home Ready" and the portrayal of Ustaša symbolism as patriotism. #antisemitizam #fašizam #Torcide (translated)

Nikola Grmoja condemned the hatred and violence related to the statements of Torcida, criticizing the connection of the incident with the fascization of Croatian society, while opposition representatives warned about the spread of fascism and anti-Semitism and demanded accountability. #antisemitizam #fašizam #Torcide (translated)

The behavior of a part of the Torcida supporters in Split is unacceptable, disgraceful, and worthy of condemnation. The shouts and actions that openly celebrate the Nazi and Ustaša regime require an urgent and systematic response from the Croatian police and the state. #nacizam #antisemitizam #Split (translated)

There is a very broad consensus about what happened on the streets of Split. Let’s see as a society if we will be, and I hope we will be, effective and very quickly sanction this. If it takes us years to obtain a final decision on some issues that may seem clear at first glance, then that is not the message we want to send. Interior Minister Davor Božinović commented on the antisemitic and Nazi chants of some Hajduk fans. #nacizam #antisemitizam #Split (translated)

I strongly condemn the violence, attacks, and the display of Nazi symbols that occurred in Split. There is no justification for such actions, neither in sports rivalry, nor in fan passion, nor in patriotism. Violence is unacceptable, and Nazi symbols and the glorification of an ideology that has left millions of victims represent a direct violation of human dignity, freedom, and fundamental civilizational values. #nacizam #antisemitizam #Split (translated)

This is an event that would cause a terrible chill for every person in this country and for every person in this world at the singing of a song about high peaks and Jews who are included in it, which happened in Auschwitz and which happened in a somewhat more primitive form in Jasenovac. It was a matter of time, and that time has come. Only a day had to pass since a respectable policeman, the chief of the Split-Dalmatia Police Department, praised his policemen and all those who maintained order and peace the day before. The day after, the matter was no longer a police issue, nor could it be; it is a matter for all of us in politics, a society that either remained silent or underestimated or in some way supported and prepared this kind of escalation. Milorad Pupovac believes this is the last moment to condemn this horrifying event. #nacizam #antisemitizam #Split (translated)
