The situation with Maccabee Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam has escalated due to their violent behavior. Instead of addressing why UEFA allows a country involved in ethnic cleansing to participate, some are comparing this to the historical persecution of Jews, which undermines the significance of those events. Maccabee Tel Aviv fans have been involved in aggressive acts, including attacking people and making inflammatory statements about Gaza. This behavior reflects the racism present in Israeli society and its impact abroad. UEFA is responsible for allowing this group to continue their actions without consequence, despite previous incidents of violence. The framing of this issue is troubling and dismisses the real concerns at hand.
Speaker 0: The incident with the Maccabee Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam is only getting more insane. Because last night, they were targeted after their horrendous behavior. And instead of maybe considering why UEFA let a country which is currently committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians and whose football league is filled with racist teams who pride themselves on not employing Arabs. Well, instead of dealing with that, of course, Zionists and Western media are pretending that this is somehow similar to the extermination of Jewish people in Europe in the 19 thirties and forties. And I am sorry.
This is ridiculous and it diminishes the legacy of these horrors because these people were not targeted on the basis of their Jewishness. They were targeted because Maccabee Tel Aviv fans are violent hooligans who were rampaging through the streets of Amsterdam, attacking people, tearing down flags, chanting about there being no children and schools left in Gaza, saying let the IOF win so they can fuck the Arabs and other just horrors. These people need to be banned from international football. The blame is squarely with UEFA. This isn't some anti semitic outburst against Jewish people that came from nowhere.
This comes from the racism which permeates Israeli society and the way in which this spills over whenever Israelis travel to other countries. And as I say, UEFA is to blame because this isn't even the first incident with Maccabee Tel Aviv fans. In March this year, they beat a Palestinian man unconscious in Athens before their game with Olympiacos. And yet instead of dealing with them, UEFA lets this group of people who celebrate genocide and violently attack those who oppose it, continue going around Europe to do more celebration and then expect people not to react. This is farcical and ridiculous.
And the way in which it is being framed, as I say, it is just disgusting.
