Police have revealed to Sky News they banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from Aston Villa due to "significant levels of hooliganism" in the fan base jeopardising safety around the match - rather than threats to visiting Israelis.
"We have intelligence and information that says that there is a section of Maccabi fans, not all Maccabi fans, but a section who engage in quite significant levels of hooliganism.
In a report to a council safety advisory group, West Midlands Police referenced a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and West Ham United that never existed.

I’ve not followed this in detail: but it seems the police were on a hiding to nothing . If they allowed the relevant away fans to attend they would be held responsible for injuries to them, if they didn’t (as happened) they were being discriminated against. It seems a little harsh that the guy will lose his job because he used google.
The police received threats from muslims that they were planning to make a huge attack on Jewish fans at the Aston Villa match. The police chose to exclude the Jewish fans rather than arrest the muslims, and to lie to the public about it. Simple as that.

The police were basically taking orders from the Islamists. I followed a livestream from Myhar Tousi on the evening of the match and the small number of Jewish Fans (and Tousi) were herded into what Tousi described as a Jew cage, it might have been a basketball court, until the rampaging Islamists had passed.
This is becoming a serious problem in this country and it needs sorting, we as a country need to be taking the same view as Trump.
