1. Historial de Violencia y Hooliganismo de los Fans de MTA.
Los seguidores del Maccabi Tel Aviv, especialmente sus ultras, son descritos repetidamente como "matones" con una notoria reputación de violencia, racismo y desorden, tanto en Israel (donde un partido reciente fue cancelado) como en Europa.
- Maccabi tel aviv fans have a terrible ongoing reputation for violence and sickening levels of racism.
- Maccabi tel aviv supporters were banned from watching their game against aston villa after police intelligence concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the israeli club.
- Maccabi have a long history of violence. It has nothing to do with their race or their religion. They are racist thugs and should not be allowed in any stadiums, anywhere.
- A riot broke out between maccabi tel aviv and hapoel tel aviv fans tonight and the game was called off but anyone who says they dont want this kind of violence in birmingham is an antisemite.
2. El Incidente de Ámsterdam como Precedente Clave.
El incidente de Ámsterdam en 2024 es citado como la principal evidencia para la prohibición. Los informes indican que los fans de MTA instigaron la violencia, realizaron cánticos racistas ("death to arabs") y vandalismo, aunque también fueron objeto de ataques.
- Dutch police told their british counterparts that the maccabi fans had instigated trouble in amsterdam at a game last year. They had randomly picked muslims in amsterdam to attack.
- Maccabi fans intimidated muslims, chanted genocidal slogans and engaged in widespread vandalism and violence in amsterdam.
- We dont want violent israeli thugs bringing soccer violence, as they did in amsterdam the evening before the match, maccabi tel aviv fans were filmed pulling palestinian flags from houses, making racist anti-arab chants such as death to arabs, assaulting people, and vandalising local property.
- The violence in amsterdam was instructive in the police decision. Importantly, the british police understood from the dutch police that the maccabi fans caused trouble the day before the match, and that this absolutely resulted in the subsequent attacks on maccabi fans.
3. Interferencia Política y Acusaciones de Antisemitismo.
La decisión de la policía de West Midlands fue condenada por figuras políticas de alto nivel, incluido Keir Starmer, quien argumentó que la prohibición era "la decisión equivocada" y que no se toleraría el antisemitismo, ignorando el riesgo de violencia.
- This is the wrong decision. We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets. The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation. - keir starmer.
- If the ban is overturned, it just opens the door to potential pre - and post-match violence subsequent investigations, blaming and follow-up court proceedings imo.
- The pms intervention on this matter is clearly ill-judged and political. The framing as anti-semitic is simply vulgar.
- Starmer is so in hock to the zionist lobby that hes provoked violence on the streets of birmingham to appease it.
4. Precedentes y Normalización de las Prohibiciones por Violencia.
Muchos comentaristas señalaron que prohibir a los aficionados con historial de violencia es una práctica estándar en el fútbol europeo (citando casos como Legia Varsovia o clubes ingleses en los 80) y que la politización del caso MTA es hipócrita.
- Fans have been banned for all sort of violence and hate speech. English club fans were banned from euro competitions for years.
- If this football team was not israeli would there be all this fuss about its fans being banned? appalling behaviour and violence should not be racially weaponised.
- Legia warsaw banned from villa park due to violence frankfurt fans are banned from the napoli game in a few weeks due to violence away fans are banned at every old firm game due to violence.
- English teams were literally banned from european competitions for several years due to the amount of fan violence.
