I accept that you want to link it to recent events but it does seem that anti semitism has never gone away.Talking about the recent rise, not anti-semitism itself. It'd be tough to blame the Holocaust on conflict happening now ;)
Ajax, like Spurs, are known as a 'Jewish' club for various reasons. The attacks on Israelis seem to have taken place outside the stadium, apparently involving groups of Arabs.
Ironic that some of those vehemently decrying attacks on innocent Palestinians are disgustingly cheering this attack on Jews, just for being Jews, who may have all sorts of varying views on what's happening in Gaza & Lebanon. Some of you are utterly abhorrent.
If Bluemoon had been around in the 1930's, the aftermath of Kristallnacht would have been
I think most of Bluemoon think the politics threads are populated by lunatics! It's difficult to argue with that view. On your main point, I totally agree, keep politics out of sport.Football should be a place where fans can escape from politics. I hate the way various political factions from all sides have tried to hijack our sport. The National Front tried, and failed, in the 1970s and the sectarian bigots at Celtic and Rangers can give any one a run for the money. but most football fans are decent people in my experience. There is no place for political slogans at football events as far as I am concerned.
The world needs to see what's going on & if it's highlighted at a football game I give not One fuck. Nearly 20'000 Children have been blown to bits and someone's getting pissed off at a banner.Football until recently has always kept free of politics. The nearest it ever got was Remembrance Day. It’s a sad day for football imo. Once it starts it will escalate, the game should be the focus, the football ground should be sacrosanct politics and religion should be left out imo.
Just fuckin lolIt's a relentless situation for them and I have sympathy.
Hamas are scum. Ordinary palestinians (i presume) are just normal folk. Albeit persecuted.
But Hamas brought this on them, although it hasn't been great for them for years they really have made it worse. I don't know what the answer is.
So you would be quite happy with Pro Trump banners? What about Remember October 7th banners? What about Ukraine banners? What about anti Tory/Labour banners? What about Black/White Lives Matter? What about Nazi salutes by men in blackshirts?The world needs to see what's going on & if it's highlighted at a football game I give not One fuck.

What has a Trump banner got to do with 20'000 Children being massacred. I'd like to see these banners at every game in every league.So you would be quite happy with Pro Trump banners?

Best to keep politics out of football I think.
Whether obvious or not it's trueJust fuckin lol
"It hasn't been great for them for years"
No fuckin shit.
You want to have the power to bring your political banner but also have the power to stop someone else bringing their political banner? Surely you can see the problem?What has a Trump banner got to do with 20'000 Children being massacred. I'd like to see these banners at every game in every league.
