More details have broken about the Maccabi Tel Aviv ‘fans’ – violent, racist thugs – whose ban by West Midlands Police (WMP) from a match this week in Birmingham Keir Starmer tried to overturn with the help of an organised campaign by the UK Israel lobby.

Maccabi Tel Aviv – yes, they are the IDF

Middle East Eye has revealed this evening that police in the Netherlands told WMP that more than two hundred ‘fans’ were not just a racist mob that had run riot in Amsterdam last November, attacking Muslims and other locals, but were “linked to the Israel Defence Forces” (IDF) – with “hundreds more” also “highly organised” “experienced fighters” who were determined to cause “serious violence” in Birmingham.⁠
⁠
Starmer and his front-benchers tried to insist that WMP imposed the ban because it couldn’t guarantee the safety of ‘Jewish’ fans – a lie that was quickly and embarrassingly exposed – while Israel lobbyists claimed to be members of an invented ‘Jewish Villans’ supporters club. The new information about the WMP assessment further exposes the Starmer regime’s collaboration with Israel and its lobby groups⁠.

Dutch intelligence services have classified Israel as a security threat to the Netherlands, in part based on the Maccabi violence and racist incitement a year ago.
