Time for some introspection and retrospection? Yes - from Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. And from Kier Starmer, Lisa Nandy, Robert Jenrick, Isabel Oakeshott and every other lying scumbag that suggested that this was about antisemitism and that Birmingham was a no-go area for Jewish people.
Maccabi fan ban was due to hooliganism, says West Midlands Police - BBC News
West Midlands Police did not previously reveal its reasons because "it wasn't deemed helpful".

Most people do not share the political views and aims of Raise The Colours. Most people do not hate migrants. Most people do not want their neighbourhood covered in a sea of red, white and blue. What is so difficult to understand about this?

The only question anybody should ask is, why is Israel STILL in Gaza, STILL killing Palestinians.
When there is supposed to be a Ceasefire?
It is Israel breaking the Ceasefire and the War Criminals need to be evicted.

Dozens of Palestine activists attended the weekly Palestine protest in Moseley today, against the Israeli genocide in Gaza & the attack on the flotilla. We stand against the terrorist murder of civilians in Gaza & everywere. We began with a minute's silence for the victims of the Manchester attack.
