Reply		The Truth Comes Out on Maccabi Fans Ban
at 19:56 10 Jan 2026

The football team is from Isreal. The travelling fans were Isreali. The defenders of the Isreali fans and criticizing the British Police seem to be British Jews or people who support Isreal.

I support the UK Police who are ultimately responsible for protecting the public irrespective class colour or faith. I am personally atheist.

When I was younger I would frequent city centres in weekend. Not sure what it is like these days but at one time local tent services were available in the city centre to deal with the incapable and those involved on scraps including cut and bruises.

Such services would be paid for by the local histories and clubs saving the NHS from dealing bashed up drunks.

The Police should not bow to Jewish pressure either..They should listen to both Muslim and Jewish groups in the city.

UK does not need violence Middle easterners taking our their difference on British streets.Maccabi Tel Aviv have already had one match abandoned relatively recently.

It was noted they went out of their way to provoke local fans in Amsterdam with deeply offensive politicised chanting.

I back the Birmingham police defending local people and services namely the police themselves the taxpayer and NHS. One lady stood at the Stadium with a Isreali flag making a political point without incident.

I am not contained by prejudice and look at every issue individually.. I am not sure what the other issue you referenced was. I have no fixed view on the MSM. I love and hate the BBC at the same time.

Macabi coming to Birmingham raise several red flags. I accept the Police's decision which will have spared the over stretched hospitals and reduced policing requirement saving money for the taxpayers. There will have been some loss of trade perhaps. Overall the banning was a win win.

The fuss made by London agencies is irrelevant. It was a Birmingham decision. The Brum Police were forced to justify their decision in London before Lawyers. Why did they have to?

( from wiki)" On 6, 7 and 8 November 2024, before and after a UEFA Europa League football match in Amsterdam between Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. and Dutch club AFC Ajax, tensions over the Gaza war escalated to violence. Targets of the violence included Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, and pro-Palestinian protesters.Seven people, including five Israelis, were sent to hospital and 20–30 people sustained light injuries. Several local individuals who attacked Maccabi fans were given jail terms by Amsterdam district court" .

In Birmingham no one was hurt and there was no violence. Job done. In my mind there was a good chance that middle eastern tensions could have arisen in Birmingham. It is not for the Police to worry about Middle eastern politics or take sides. They are. not taking their issues out in UK.. The friends of the various middle eastern groups have certainly kicked up a fuss. Good for them. I back the police The ghosts of Hillsborough rightly influence Police thinking . Where there are red flags the Police cannot bush them under the carpet.

Four of the five on loan in EFL were at least playing every week. Cotterill can go somewhere else and develop.

The guys in Scotland seem popular . Lissah had a MOM v Aberdeen scoring and defending robustly on Saturday . I watched a YouTube clup and he was everywhere. Wilson also showed up well. Ben Lloyd seems to come off the bench for Newport. One might have expected more from him but hopefully he will deliver in the second half of the season. The two prospects up from the u18 Brogam Popham and He arland Perry are with Cardiff Met in the LoW . Josh Thomas is in the RoI and nay stay on for their summer season. Not much news from him.

He is a solid performer at Championship level. A splendid fellow too boot and reportedly a popular o member of the squad.

He however represents the decline of Swansea way. He does not have the fast feet required for the type of football Swansea fans had 12 years ago. I feel sure Michael Laudrup or Martinez would have moved him on very quickly.

He will help keep Swansea in the Championship if that is the target. On over £500k a year he will be moved on. A great servant to the club having said all that .I respect him.

You have been distracted by propaganda. Boris helped his billionaire mates getore money. BILLIONS. Drakeford gave £250k. £5k a week to the poorest of the poor women in ths world struggling to put food on the table. You compare them because you have not thought about it much. You do not like me. I think you are intellectually lazy but it is not too late.

The Senedd wisely goes out of it s way to support preexisting Welsh VOLUNTEER groups and charities.

This is morally good and good economic practice. Most are Wales based with one or two overseas like " The size of Wales" charity

I a was at a mental health event last month and Drakeford did an introduction talk. The Senedd support volunteers. I as a voter and ratepayer agree they should. Food bank counselling facilities someone to talk to etc There weird three or four volunteer groups there.

I am pretty disgusted with the attitude of some groups linked to Reform and anti Senedd for targeting these volunteer groups by highlighting, in isolation, efforts to help people who gave already gained asylum. It seems pretty sick to me to see some grey people some themselves on on benefits (often self inflicted ) bad mouth these individual volunteers helping others in an even worse predicament.

The Senedd is right to support these volunteer groups while including limited and proportional support for overseas causes. (with domestic benefits of experience gathering and PR benefits).

Wales need Global investment. We need to have a global foot print. In time of cuts the Strata canto not cover everything. The Senedd should support charities and volunteer groups and do. The scheme in the OP is just one scheme . Agitators agitate.

The Uganda money was £250k last year £5k a week. The cost of one gardening g crew of 5 or 6 who plant daffodils in Victoria park in Neath.

I have traveled the world and picked up different perspectives. I lived a decade overseas and learn languages. I do not worry about criticisms from lightweight s o on here.

It have actually been to Palestine and Isreal back in the day and Egypt. I spent a day listening to milk and honey BS.

Stop annexing land of Palestine and you can have peace. Carry on and innocent people will die. It is the core issue. It is simple. POTY 2023 ( retired undefeated).

When Isreal stops stealing land owned by Palestinians peace talks van start. There has been no sign of this for 60 years. Steal land expect trouble it is human nature.

This is the root cause of the on going violence since 1972 and before. Heavily armed fundamentalist Isreali Settler millita run kill Palestinians who object to their bulldozers in the West Bank. When they stop there can be peace.

No one should be surprised by there outrages. If you steal land expect trouble. We In the democratic world accept this after the end of the British Empire. Russia and Isreal are prepared to pay the price in blood. This is the mindset of a fundamentalist.

There are many many example of brutality against Palestinians in Palestine. A small amount of research will easily identify it. " Last time I looked " suggests a lack of research.

https://www.theguardian.com/wo

Aukland Temple mount. Sabra and Shatilla. Bombing of hospitals and food centres. Deliberate starvation of refugees.

There can only be peace of Isrealis stop annexing Palestinians land . It's simple

Yes I condemn ths killers. I also condemn Isreali actions in the Gaza and West Bank

Isreal are like Russia."We are taking your land by force whether you like it or not. We will not stop. It is ours".

Violent reactions are to be expected..

I am not going away and will not be bullied or gaslighted. I will reply to your posts if I disagree with you. If you cannot debate get off the forum.

Some Reform follower are anti Welsh traitors. If Wales gives up it international status and the Senedd we are toast. I am no fan of wokeness but it is a small price to pay for self determination the Welsh fought for for centuries.

As I understand it ths woman who wants dog racing abolished is the same lady who pressed for the green tree planting charity in Uganda. It was a bargain to get the budget agreed. I can live with it.

I am proud of Wales.it is a great place to live. We have everything.

It could be a long wait for you. I am no fan of the people economic policies ok f Corbyn and others. He has as been consistent in opposition to failed milli tree art adventures in Iraq. Afghanistan Libya and Syria many proposed at the behest of Israeli lobbying.

The West has been dancing to the pipes of Isreali far right armed millita settlers who like Russia are stealing land that does not belong to them.

These grants are open to all communities. This one in particular is highlight because it is a different religion and ethnic group.

https://www.ynniteg.cymru/?fbc

This group has funded a variety of groups without prejudice..Wales is a semi autonomous State and should have representation elsewhere in the world to drum up tourism and investment outside the UK state system and jointly..

The tree growing in Uganda was charitable and last year cost less that Andre Ayew's monthly salary in his last contract at Swansea. I think it a was during hard bargaining with the liberal representation to approve the budget. Blame her.

You have taken on propaganda from anti Welsh bodies about cavalier spending at the Senedd by foreign agents. It is not true. The same organisation who Welsh leaders was jailed for working Ng for the Kremlin.

The Qatar trip a was a joint UK / Wales exercise with Alun Cairns involved for the World cup. Drakeford who is a competent administrator went to drum up sales and butter up the cash rich Qataris on their special event . No doubt the issue of links to CWL airport was raised. Sales needs time and patience.

You do not understand this most probably. The contacts to middle east investors is in place at least Fluffy rainbow Welsh people wanted Drakeford to lecture the Qataris on private matters like gender below the waist interactions. No wonder we are struggling.

If there is no Senedd then Wales abdicates it's international ambitions. I believe this would end up with the abolishing of the Welsh National football team. Follow the advice of Posh boy Rupert Lowe and we all get poorer less confident and less influential.
