FYI: there is a growth of sectarian and antisemitic behaviour in the UK.
Last year, a man named Jihad Al-Shamie attacked a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur and killed two congregants before he could be stopped.

Antisemitic attacks have increased. Jews do not feel safe in Birmingham.

Right next door to Aston Villa is Birmingham's Perry Bar ward, where they elected the independent MP Ayoub Khan, for what seems to be his support for the Palestinian side of the Israel-Palestine war.
The West Midlands police were keen to give the impression that they were even-handed and fair in banning Maccabi fans, claiming they consulted multiple faith communities in Birmingham, and besides Maccabi fans are rotters, look at what they did at this other match.
The other match did not exist. The Jewish community did not ask for the Maccabi fans to be banned. Those were lies.

> As the match was played last month, pro-Palestinian protesters, including Independent MP Ayoub Khan, gathered outside the stadium, waving flags and banners calling for an end to violence in Gaza.
In my view, the West Midlands police probably had partisan community leaders like Mr Khan tell them to keep Jewish/Israeli fans out of Birmingham or they'd cause a riot, and the police meekly went along with this, then concealed this true reason, and made up bullshit reasons for banning the fans... which they have been caught out on, because they used a chatbot that hallucinated falsehoods and they didn't even verify it before using it as justification to a Parliamentary select committee.
That is what is known as misleading Parliament. That's why the chief's position is untenable.

- pydry 9mo agoIm glad al shamie is dead, but do you condemn the Maccabi fans recorded on camera in Amsterdam repeatedly chanting "death to arabs" and "there are no more schools in gaza because we destroyed them?" Do you condemn the army of an extremely racist state that committed what the UN describes as genocide?
- amiga386 9mo ago> Do you condemn the Maccabi fans recorded on camera in Amsterdam repeatedly chanting "death to arabs" and "there are no more schools in gaza because we destroyed them?" Yes, without question. Those are racist provocations. I also condemn all other violent acts those hooligans committed. I further condemn their local opponents who made random attacks on unrelated Jewish and Israeli people. I hope you would do the same. > Or the army of an ultra racist state that committed what the UN has described as genocide? I take no side on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Israelis and Palestinians both have a right to exist, and to live in peace. EDIT: Also, I want to add: A Jewish person in the UK != an Israeli citizen != the State of Israel and the IDF. If you're angry about Israel and Palestine, don't take it out on Jews in the UK. Don't assume Jews support Israel or the IDF, don't assume Muslims support Palestine or Hamas. Thanks.
