Removing Israeli teams from UEFA competitions/Boycotting the Maccabi TA game

[malckennedy]

Those Tel Aviv police are anti semitic bastards for cancelling this match.

A sad day when the streets of Tel Aviv can't be considered safe for Jewish football fans.

[algy]

Just echoing Ed Milliband, I don't think there should be any "no-go" areas for Jewish people in Tel Aviv.

I wouldn't normally give The Canary the time of day but at least they've done some digging on our newly-established Jewish supporters group.

Is this bloke a Villa supporter?
Is he actually Jewish?

[Bobby Boy]

I'm sure that Keir Starmer, Ed Davey, Kemi Badenoch and the other voices of reason will have a lot to say about the postponement of the game and of the threat to human life that led to this decision.

They always have much to say to these things.

So, come on, let's be hearing you...

And it’s all gone quiet over there……….

1: Is this bloke a Villa supporter?
2: Is he actually Jewish?

1: He has the top and everything so he must be a Villa supporter. Why else wear one for the interviews?

2: No he isn't. Paid up member of "it is totally OK to kill loads of civillians in Gaza and I will defend the IDF for doing it" faction online though.

Ahhhh, but the point is this.

If he IS Jewish and is a Villa fan and has a ticket, then he can attend the game.
He is not banned from attending. No Jewish Villa fan who has a ticket is banned.

So where is the antisemitism?
