Maccabi Tel Aviv

[Vinty]

Ukrainians are proper men, they go and fight on the battlefield - where as the Palestinians / Hamas operatives kidnap young people from a music festival, launch rockets from hospitals and hide behind their own women and children

Maybe if the Americans and Europe supplied the Palestinians with air defence systems along with ballistic missiles and aerial drones to target the IDF more effectively, then they might not need to hide behind women an kids.
And a couple of nuclear weapons wouldn't go amiss either.

What a joke, TV presenters discussing so called anti Semitism, while Israel fans are dancing around in the background waving Israeli flags.

I watched an old video of Alf Garnet and his son and law arguing about the price of oil, Alf being an old style racist blamed the 'Jews' , his son in law was a long haired lefty and he blamed the Arabs.

These days the new racists, claim to love Israel and hate Muslims.
I think that the claim to support Israel is more to do with justifying hatred of Muslims, than any real concern about the welfare of Jews or Israel.

Warren Mitchell of course was Jewish...

It was called satire back then.

Give the Palestinians air defences, tanks, training, drones and long range missiles, and I'm sure they would be more than happy to engage the IDF on their terms in a manner similar to Ukraine.

**** me.

Maybe we should tool up the Republicans to come after you lot?

**** me.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

You lot?

Are you not one of us?

 

[fillyboy]

You lot?

Are you not one of us?

No.

 

[Deluks]

No.

Who are you referring to when you say "you lot"?

You lot.

You lot.

Clear as mud.
You don't know me well enough to know which lot I belong to.

Seems that there might be something about the maccabi fans that called for them to be excluded after all...

"The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled before kick-off on Sunday, after what police described as "public disorder and violent riots".

"Dozens of smoke grenades and pyrotechnic devices were thrown," Israeli police posted on X, adding "this is not a football game, this is disorder and serious violence".

"Twelve civilians and three officers were injured, police said, while nine people were arrested and 16 detained for questioning."

So maybe not an 'anti semitic' move as claimed by some.

Birmingham’s safety advisory group – made up of local stakeholders, West Midlands police and event organisers - said the decision (to ban Maccabi fans) had been made due to a high risk of violence based on “current intelligence and previous incidents”.

So nothing to do with the mayor of Birmingham being a Muslim then….

 

[Odds]

The M. of B. is trying to pass off the ban as football related and this incident will only strengthen his claim it's nothing to do with religion and, by association, the events in Gaza. Football + politics = a bad idea.

If you think there is something in that, then maybe you have some 'issues' yourself

And of course going against what the israeli police have said about the fans...

Unless you believe that the israeli police are being anti semitic?

All this goes to show is that all sorts of crap ensues when the underlying political rhetoric is being manipulated by those who thrive on division...

Which of course is made easier by having a certain group of people who enjoy hearing what they already believe spouted again and again
