Video Summary

The transcript details the controversy surrounding the ban of Makabe Tel Aviv fans from attending a match in Birmingham. British politicians and media outlets widely condemned the decision as anti-semitic, leading to accusations of racism against those who supported the ban. However, the transcript argues this narrative is a deliberate misrepresentation, highlighting instances of Makabe Tel Aviv fans engaging in racist chants, violence, and hate crimes, including an incident in Amsterdam where they allegedly attacked locals and chanted about killing children in Gaza. It also critiques media coverage, suggesting a deliberate suppression of facts and a distortion of events to protect Israel and demonize critics. The piece contrasts the elite's reaction with public opinion, which, according to polls, largely supports the ban. The transcript also exposes a pro-Israel propagandist, who falsely presented himself as a Jewish fan subjected to abuse, as an example of media manipulation.

A particularly striking detail is the cancellation of the Tel Aviv derby between Makabe and Hapole Tel Aviv due to widespread rioting and the use of pyrotechnics by fans, involving the throwing of 48 smoke grenades and 52 pyrotechnic devices onto the pitch

Key Details

Ban on Makabe Tel Aviv Fans in Birmingham [00:00]

  • The Birmingham Safety Advisory Group banned Makabe Tel Aviv fans from attending an away match against Aston Villa based on a West Midlands Police risk assessment.
  • The decision was justified by current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offenses during a 2024 Europa League match between Ajax and Makabe Tel Aviv in Amsterdam.
  • This ban provoked significant backlash, with politicians and media outlets labeling it as anti-semitism and those supporting it as racists, thereby "smearing the British public."

The reasoning was set out in a statement. This decision is based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offenses that occurred during the 2024 Europa League match between Ajax and Makabe Tel Aviv in Amsterdam.

Tel Aviv Derby Cancellation and Fan Behavior [01:01]

  • Tel Aviv's police banned the Tel Aviv derby between Makabe and Hapole Tel Aviv due to public disorder and violent riots.
  • Footage showed Makabe Tel Aviv fans throwing flares at Israeli police.
  • An activist noted fans chanting "Chuama is a terrorist," referring to a former iconic Arab football player.
  • Footage also depicted Makabe Tel Aviv ultras roaming the streets of Jaffa, looking for victims to assault before the game.
  • The derby was ultimately canceled due to widespread use of pyrotechnics and riots in the stands, with fans throwing flares onto the pitch.
  • A total of 48 smoke grenades and 52 pyrotechnic devices were thrown.

This provoked hysteria with politicians and media outlets denouncing the decision as anti-semitism and also smearing anyone who backed the decision as racists.

Political and Media Reaction to the Ban [03:27]

  • The decision to ban Makabe Tel Aviv fans from Birmingham was met with significant hysteria and bile from politicians and media outlets.
  • The British Prime Minister tweeted that the decision was wrong and that anti-semitism would not be tolerated.
  • The Lib Dem leader stated it was a serious mistake and that one doesn't tackle anti-semitism by banning its victims.
  • Nigel Farage argued that politicians supporting the ban showed how much trouble the country was in, with police "giving in to extremist intimidation."
  • The transcript argues that politicians and media outlets conflate racist Makabe football hooligans with Jewish people.
  • A boycott of all Israeli football teams is supported, similar to the boycott of South Africa's football teams during apartheid, which is argued to be no more anti-semitic than the ban on South Africa was anti-white.

Our position is very clear. Israel is an apartheid state like South Africa before it, which is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

Incidents in Amsterdam [05:45]

  • Footage from the 2023 Europa League match between Makabe Tel Aviv and Ajax in Amsterdam, which descended into violence, was highlighted.
  • Sky News posted a video package detailing the events, which was later deleted without explanation.
  • The deleted footage showed Makabe Tel Aviv fans tearing down Palestinian flags, and residents chasing Makabe fans.
  • Fans were filmed singing racist and anti-Arab songs.
  • During the match, Israeli supporters reportedly disrupted a minute of silence for flood victims with chants and fireworks.
  • Makabe fans were seen attacking locals, while people with Palestinian flags were seen marching.
  • Makabe supporters claimed they were beaten and attacked, with videos showing some of the violence.
  • Sky News could not independently verify all footage; 62 people were arrested, and five were hospitalized.
  • Dutch, Israeli, and British leaders denounced the attacks as anti-semitic and referred to it as a pogrom, failing to mention assaults by Israeli hooligans against Dutch citizens.

Violence in Amsterdam left at least five people injured and dozens have been arrested.

Media Distortion and Propaganda [08:03]

  • Footage of Makabe fans beating up locals, filmed by Annet Graph, was broadcast by multiple media outlets who claimed it was Makabe fans being beaten up, effectively turning the footage on its head.
  • The BBC Newsnight and multiple other media outlets did the same, presenting footage of Makabe fans on the rampage as Makabe fans being beaten up in an anti-Jewish pogrom.
  • An Israeli newspaper claimed a pogrom against Makabe fans but included details of "death to Arabs" chants in Amsterdam's main squares and violence against people holding Palestinian flags.
  • Makabe Tel Aviv fans were reportedly looking to commit racist violence on the streets of Amsterdam.
  • The Dutch police stated disturbances began with Makabe supporters taking Palestinian flags, setting them on fire, and chanting about "no schools in Gaza because we've already killed all the children."
  • The Dutch public prosecution service couldn't pursue many incidents because footage was deleted.
  • Two women reported incidents: one was allegedly assaulted (punched, spat on, hair pulled) by Makabe supporters on a metro platform in front of police, and another was threatened.
  • The transcript acknowledges that anti-semitism exists and that some conflate Jewish people with Israel, but argues that the Makabe Tel Aviv fan base is "infested with genocidal racism."

This was the BBC News night did the same. Multiple media outlets did it. They took her footage, which was Makabe fans on the rampage, and presented it as Makabe fans being beaten up in an anti-Jewish pogram.

Exposing a Pro-Israel Propagandist [13:22]

  • A Sky News report featured a "Jewish Aston Villa fan" who claimed to have received death threats.
  • This individual was later revealed to be a pro-Israel propagandist working for the Henry Jackson Society, not a Jewish Aston Villa fan, and there was no evidence of an "Aston Villa Jewish Villains" supporter club.
  • The transcript presents this as an example of media manipulation, where a pro-Israel operative is presented as a victim of abuse to further a particular narrative.
  • The individual had previously joked about an X-ray of a deceased Palestinian child, claiming it was "Poshumus X-ray of Sinoir just released," referencing a Hamas leader.
  • He defended his post by claiming the image was faked, which led the New York Times to issue a clarification verifying the authenticity of their reporting on Israeli snipers shooting Palestinian children.
  • He also claimed footage of a grieving Palestinian father holding his dead baby, killed by Israeli weapons, was a doll and mockery.

Who is this man? I'll tell you who he is. He's a pro-Israel propagandist who works for the Henry Jackson Society, a hardcore pro-Israel organization.

Media Coverage and Public Opinion Divide [17:36]

  • The incident was turned into an opportunity to whip up hatred against British Muslims, with the local MP subjected to online abuse.
  • Politicians claimed it vindicated failures of integration and questioned who runs Britain's second city, the government or sectarian Islamists.
  • The British government and media are accused of overriding police operational independence, stoking community tensions, and smearing British public opinion to protect Israeli football hooligans.
  • These hooligans are accused of chanting "death to Arabs" and chants about murdering Palestinian children while Israel continues to "murder Palestinians" and "white Gaza from the face of the earth."
  • A poll by YouGov found that 42% of the British public supported the ban, with only 28% opposing it, indicating a divide between public opinion and the elite's narrative.
  • The transcript concludes that those labeled as "dangerous, hateful extremists" actually represent the mainstream of British voters' views on the issue.

If you feel like you're going mad, I can promise you this, you're not going mad. It's the people running the country who are insa
