    I didn't realise he'd moved again and CEO at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

    Only realised as he's been giving interviews following the attacks on their fans in Amsterdam. He spoke really well given the awful circumstances.

    Sad to hear Ben lying in his interview claiming the violence was anti-Semitic.

    Hundreds of fans turning up singing songs about murdering Arabs & attacking buildings with Palestinian flags was never going to go down well.

    There’s an old saying ‘play silly games win silly prizes’.

    I just hope no one innocent was caught up in it & that it was all the racist fans that got a good hiding.

    Playing to the tune of his paymasters. I fear for him had he done otherwise.

    But you’re spot on.

    Israel is a disgrace and what it’s doing to Lebanon (never mind Gaza) is f****** shameful. But here we are.

    Sadly it’s going to get worse before it even looks like getting better. Netanyahu looks even more emboldened since the Trump win.

    It’s almost unbelievable in this modern age that such destruction can be carried out in Gaza and Ukraine in particular. But you look at some of the carnage in Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

    Or maybe we just forget how low mankind can stoop til we witness it again.

    Me neither……..I suspect both fans as bad as each other but seen a few clips of Tel Aviv fans and it’s not great viewing!!

    2 wrongs don’t make rights though

    Netanyahu sacked one of his cabinet I believe. For what reason I don’t know. His comments post the violence in Amsterdam almost sounded a prelude to invasion of the Netherlands.

    And the repeated attempts to draw parallels with the nazi era turn my stomach. This time he drew similarity with Kristallnacht which I find disgusting given how shocking an event that was all those years ago.

    Looks like those Maccabi Tel Aviv scum found out what happens when you start a fight with someone who can punch back. They're clearly not used to that, sent home crying.

    Shame on anyone running cover for these genocidal filth.

    There is cultural unrest rising in Europe. The war in Middle East and Eastern Europe may accelerate it. But the fact is there will be a tipping point that is already wavering across Europe. Get ready for more of these ‘civil wars’ hopefully kept contained but i fear something has to give.

    I now work for a charity involved in delivering humanitarian aid, so I’m getting information that the ‘next’ man wouldn’t. The world is f***** would be my takeaway at this stage.

    i agree. I also have insights beyond the normal news channels from private security services. There are some difficult times ahead.

    I don't agree with this. Makes it look like Joe & Kamala are off the hook saying that - when actually they've aided and abetted in genocide and the deaths of thousands of children. Scumbags, the lot of them, bowing to their moneybags overlords. Think it shows what certain Americans think of them with Trump actually winning Dearborn, the largest Arab-American city, which Biden won easily in 2020.

    Will Israel quieten down with Trump? Nope. Not in my opinion anyway, maybe I'm bias but I don't think he will do any good for Palestine. But the fact Kamala and Joe have funded/aided Israel to this extent is a ******* disgrace and they should be ashamed of themselves. I remember when protesters were at and around the DNC, getting their banners & signs taken away, being hit in the head with Biden signs, delegates from the campaign covering their ears when leaving whilst the protesters were reading the names of dead family members over in Gaza.

    Neither party give a **** about Palestine - they care about themselves and especially their pockets and I hate the fact it gets glossed over just because we dislike one side more than the other. Would have loved Jill Stein to have won it

    Edit - also, just watch the 2 VERY different adverts Kamala did a couple of days before the election. Nobody can tell me she has an ounce of decency or genuine care for Palestine.

    America is in a very dark place and I fear it will be for years.

    What is happening is genocide. Over 40,000 dead in Gaza in the last year. Around 3,500 dead in Lebanon in the last two months. 70% of the dead are women and children. The cities, the towns, they are rubble. People living in complete fear. No way out. It’s as bad as anything you want to equate it to.

    Nobody is stopping it. Not one nation.

    I’ll be in Lebanon in the new year. What’s left of it.

    Yep, completely agree mate. It may be petty of me and I understand why people do it, but Kamala Harris & Joe Biden has as much responsibility to shoulder as Trump. The difference being they've actually been in power. They could have done something over a year ago, and all they've done is fund fund & fund.
