Constant deflection and excuses, showed yourself to be a right idiot tonight!! Surprised you haven’t resorted to the childish gifsI've pointed out fans of that football club are well documented for racist behaviour towards players at games (incl. their own) and are on camera, en masse, chanting 'f*ck the Arabs!' when in Amsterdam last year.
Knowing that, I can understand why folks might not want them in Birmingham for the game at Villa Park. I don't know who the MP is. If he was involved in the decision and he's an anti-Semite, then that's pretty f*cking grim.

Forget what people are saying about Maccabee Tel Aviv fans causing problems, it would be a security nightmare trying to police the protests.

Horrible things being carried out in Gaza by Hamas currently.... loads of fellow Palestinians being slaughtered.
We host racist hooligan/ultra groups every European game week and don't ban them.
Maybe pathetic in your opinion mate but do a bit of research and you will see it's true (plenty of Videos on YouTube).For clarity I'm very hopeful that a peace deal can be made between all concernedOh so Israel is suddenly concerned about the welfare of Palestinians and the murder of Palestinians?
This 'article' is absolutely pathetic.
and if there was a decision to ban fans of a club that had a similar track record to Maccabi Tel Aviv on safety grounds, I'd get it. Not saying one or both would be the right decision, but I'd get it.

There are clubs that visit English football teams with far worse history of hooliganism.
Frankfurt fans have been banned from travelling to Napoli for the same round of fixtures as this Villa game
Ajax fans were banned from Marseille earlier this season.
So clearly this is not some unprecedented decision - it's already happened twice this season.
It's obviously done on safety grounds and the notion it's some anti-semitic statement is nonsense.
It sets a precedent. Will we ban all clubs with ultra/hooligan groups?
Not arguing with you. Easy for us to argue points of principle on here, though. Another thing to be the poor f*cks on Villa's SAG who instead of planning for a football match have to figure out how to deal with and police a political, racial and religious powder keg.
I highly doubt it, as you said earlier there will be mass protests which are liable to kick off big time. It's a pretty specific set of circumstances.

if you haven’t exhausted all options in terms of policing then you’ll inevitably open yourself up to accusations that something more sinister is behind it.
Has anything else happened in the Netherlands? I’m only aware of the one incident.Correct.
Some on here have a blinkered view on what's been happening at football games in the Netherlands.
Israel should be banned from all international sporting and media events.
Should Palestine be banned too?Israel should be banned from all international sporting and media events.
Who sits on the SAG that made the decision?
Clearly if they didn’t have a reputation for violence then they wouldn’t have been banned, but I think it’s bullshit to just straight up ban any team’s fans from a game, and if you haven’t exhausted all options in terms of policing then you’ll inevitably open yourself up to accusations that something more sinister is behind it.
Football fans shouldn’t be treated as criminals by default, surely people on this forum have experienced enough bullshit during their own travels to know this.
The pertinent question is why is it a tinder box ready to ignite? They’re football fans going to a game, not the actual IDF.Generally agree with what you're saying here.
The issue in this instance is obviously that Birmingham is made up of 30% Muslims.
That seems like an absolute tinder box just ready to ignite (from both sides).
Fuck off you clown, he’s right. Or do you not agree with the fact he has said anti semetism shouldn’t be on our streets? Only dick is yourselfDick
Captain Fart has spoken everyoneIsrael should be banned from all international sporting and media events.
I thought Muslims weren’t a problem?Generally agree with what you're saying here.

First supporting Palestine action and now admitting to being anti semitic, embarrassmentNot really. I've replied respectfully to posts accusing me of some sh*tty stuff. I'm comfortable with what I've said.
I know you like to blame everything on immigration, but football fans from different countries have been kicking the shit out of each other for decades.Why this episode is so shameful is because it’s yet another example of sectarianism creeping into our society. We’ve brought this upon ourselves with mass migration. This wouldn’t have happened 10-20 years ago.
If a Ukrainian football team (or Russian) were travelling to the UK, we wouldn’t be banning their fans over ‘safety concerns’.
I thought Muslims weren’t a problem?
Why is this an “issue”?The issue in this instance is obviously that Birmingham is made up of 30% Muslims.
