Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Noisy noise annoys]

Yes, and it comes from Amsterdam having a history of being a tolerant refuge for Jews fleeing ACTUAL pogroms all over Europe.

(Doesn't include whoever grassed the Franks up, obviously. They were probably Feyenoord)

‘Actual’pogroms being the key here

Israel cheapening the actual suffering of hundreds of thousands of Jews through history by comparing to a kicking for some hooligans

There is no card they won’t play

Well quite.

It's a good job for them they didn't turn up in Rotterdam. Those Feyenoord fans would have taken no prisoners.

 

[LostLegend]

Tel Aviv fans tore down and burnt a Palestinian flag whilst chanting some outright disgusting stuff about Arabs, get attacked for it and we're supposed to believe this is some sort of anti-semitic violence?

Sounds more like:

What I don’t understand is why are Israeli teams are even in the competition. Egypt doesn’t a team in it, Jordan doesn’t have a team in it, Lebanon doesn’t have a team in it. Why Israel ? It’s not like they’re any good anyway.

Because the teams in their own region don't want anything to do with them, and the Israeli players would be at legitimate risk of harm playing in many of those countries.

That doesn’t mean they should be playing in Europe.

Especially now when they are engaged in genocide.

They are pariahs in their own region and should be pariahs worldwide IMO.

Wouldn't argue with that, but the reason I gave is the reason why they play in European competitions, which was what matey asked.
