Middle East Conflict

[Irwell]

Describing some football hooligans getting it handed to them as a pogrom is disrespectful to the terrible history their people have endured.

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.

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 interesting.

I’m not going to defend the Maccabi fans who behaved like nobheads in the stadium and in the city but to suggest that the violence against them later on was just a reaction to that looks like complete bullshit from the footage I’ve seen. Looked like there were large gangs of people with no colours showing who were just there to kick off with the Israeli fans.

Do you not think booing and setting off fireworks during a minutes silence for those who have suffered in Valencia and chants of "there are no schools in Gaza cos all the kids are dead" may have had influence on the events?

Since when did football fans go round in colours??

Comparing the murder of innocent Palestinian children to attacks on football fans who were clearly and deliberately trying to incite violence is disingenuous at best and indicative of propaganda distribution at worst. Hopefully it is the former and not the latter.

Thugs who are there just for trouble don’t, which was my point.
