Maccabi Tel Aviv fans banned due to safety concerns AGAINST them?

Since when is it ok to victim blame and penalise people who have done nothing wrong? Surely the right course of action would be either to ban ALL fans of both sides or better police the event?

So are Jews not welcome at sports games now? Because some people are racist bullies?

I genuinely can’t believe this has been allowed. Where does it end? Can Jews no longer safely access society? What if the risk is high elsewhere, will they be banned then?

What do you think? AIBU to think this is discriminatory and a slippery slope?

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be allowed to attend Aston Villa match amid safety concerns

Police say the decision is based partly on what happened in Amsterdam last year, when Israeli fans attending a match against Ajax were targets of antisemitic attacks.

Hello and thanks for the reports on this thread. We had to temporarily hide it while we went through them all.

Discussions like this often get heated but we'd like to remind you that Mumsnet is here to make parents' lives easier.

We're sure you'd all agree that we all need the support we can get.

If the guidelines breaking posts continue we will have to remove the thread and some users may be suspended which, of course, is something we would rather avoid.

Peace and love.
