…they were chased by “Arab youths” who shouted “free Palestine” and ‘f—ing Jews” before threatening them with knives and sticks.

Earlier in November, a fan of Makkabi Berlin who was wearing the club’s scarf had to be taken to hospital after a man in a café asked him whether he was Jewish and then punched him in the face.

    There’s a genocide being perpetrated by Israel, but not all jews are Israeli, and even if they were you can’t really hold individuals abroad culpable for the sins of their government.

    And not all jews/israelis are zionist… But you should absolutely hold zionists responsible for their genocidal ideology and practice.

    Similarly during WW2 there were plenty of germans who resisted so it’s not quite right to blame all germans. But that doesn’t mean we should excuse the nazis.

      But I also don’t think a group of teenage soccer players are the people who deserve to receive extrajudicial violence
