Excellent opinion piece in The Guardian by Jonathan Liew, which strips away the hyperbole to identify some of the politics behind football support in Israel.
Standing with Maccabi’s football hooligans against local police – is that what patriotism looks like now? | Jonathan Liew
Tommy Robinson is said to be going to Villa Park as a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan. Do the politicians jumping on this bandwagon care what they are doing, asks Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Imagine being a Prime Minister who went out of his way to have reversed an operational decision based on considered expert safety advice so that the uber-racist Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans can come to the UK to cause havoc. Keir Starmer has lost the plot.

Sir Keir Starmer has many questions to answer over Gaza, but I never imagined he'd back the virulently racist away support of Maccabi Tel Aviv. I wonder which of their songs he's going to sing? Their anthem, the 'Rape Song'? 'Death to the Arabs'? Or the one about there being no kids left in Gaza?

These accounts sound very plausible to me. I was also denied water & access to medication when detained in Israel & soon found the bites to corroborate rampant bed bugs in the cell. All pales in comparison, though, to the ritual violence, humiliation & abuse endured by Palestinians in Israeli jails.

I last saw Neil Young perform live in 1979, on the Rust Never Sleeps tour. He'd already had 16 years on the road. Almost half a century after Rust Never Sleeps he still looks and sounds in remarkably fine fettle and the sound he gets out of Old Black is still instantly recognisable and quite unique.
