I've only recently rejoined this forum but can I ask if you've ever been to Israel and Palestine and if so please document your time there...

I have been to Tel Aviv, Ramallah and Jerusalem. What would you like to know?

I have  been to Tel Aviv about 10 years ago and thought it was a very modern city with great hotels, nightlife and musuems. The people I met were charming and very hospitable.
I was there on business and always wanted to go back with more  timet to explore

I’m there on 15 October and in the past few years late October has been fine. High teens / low 20s and sunny, albeit with occasional clods and rain. Hopefully November will be similar for you

Ta.

Rome is also a very nice city, doesn’t mean that Lazio fans aren't violent, racist, thugs. As are Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.

I do not know but take your word on it. If thier fans are so roundly known as being thugs wh have they not been banned anywhere else? It is a genuine question.

The evening before the match, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed pulling Palestinian flags from houses, making racist anti-Arab chants such as "death to Arabs", assaulting people, and vandalising local property.

A group of Maccabi Fanatics chased two men, beating one with a belt as he tried to escape in a taxi.[12] After the police arrived, the group ran away, joining other Maccabi ultras, nearly all of whom wore black clothing instead of team colours, walking towards Rokin.[4][12] This group of around 50 Maccabi supporters gathered in front of Villa Mokum, a squat where several Palestinian flags were displayed.[3][4]

Residents of the squat barricaded themselves inside while one of the ultras ripped the flags off.[3][4] Maccabi fans reportedly kicked the doors and tried to enter the house, threatening to kill the residents.[7] Video footage showed a police car passing without stopping, leading to criticism on social media.[8] A group of supporters vandalised a nearby taxi, including hitting the window with an object and trying to force the windows and doors open, while the driver was inside.[12][4][3]

That then angered the locals into forming their own groups to attack any Maccaibi fans around, including innocent ones.
