@AyoubKhanMP You're twisting events again. The violence at the Hapoel–Maccabi derby was started by Hapoel fans, not Maccabi's. Israel Police confirmed that fireworks and projectiles came from the Hapoel stands – and that's why the game was abandoned. You conveniently leave that out because it wrecks your narrative.
You demanded Maccabi fans be banned from Villa Park weeks before this match even happened. You celebrated that ban as a "safety victory," when in truth it was a political purge – Jews barred from attending a football match in England, in 2025, for their own "protection."
Now you're trying to use chaos in Tel Aviv – caused by the other side – to justify collective punishment of Jews in Birmingham. That's not safety, that's scapegoating. You're taking the oldest prejudice in history and wrapping it in bureaucracy.
And if we follow your logic, every nation should ban away fans the moment there’s trouble abroad. That would be the end of football as we know it. Fans from Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland, France, Netherlands, Croatia,Turkey, even teams here in the UK have caused violence before – yet no one proposed banning their supporters for who they are. Punish behaviour, not identity. The moment we start treating nationality or faith as risk factors, the game – and our principles – are finished.
I'm no fan of Keir Starmer, but on this he was right to condemn the ban. What's happening isn't policing, it's moral collapse: a Britain where mobs dictate policy, MPs cheer them on, and Jews are told to stay home.
