<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Dutch police told their <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">British</a> counterparts that over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans who <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-hooligans-provoke-clashes-amsterdam-after-chanting-anti-palestinian-slogans" target="_blank">wreaked havoc</a> in Amsterdam in November 2024 were "linked to the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel </a>Defense Forces [IDF]", and that hundreds more were "experienced fighters", "highly organised" and "intent on causing serious violence", Middle East Eye can reveal.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/maccabi-tel-aviv-declines-tickets-uk-game-over-tommy-robinson-intervention" target="_blank">recent ban</a> on fans of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv from a 6 November fixture at Aston Villa in Birmingham triggered a <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-demands-lisa-nandy-retract-accusations-against-independents-police-intelligence" target="_blank">political furore</a> and was <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-demands-lisa-nandy-retract-accusations-against-independents-police-intelligence" target="_blank">denounced</a> as antisemitic last month by the British government. </p>
<p>But the West Midlands Police assessment which led to the ban was based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match in Amsterdam last November.</p>
<p>The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/oct/21/police-intelligence-on-extreme-maccabi-fans-with-history-of-violence-led-to-villa-park-ban" target="_blank">reported</a> on 21 October that the police assessment "concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club".</p>
<p>Now, as the match approaches, MEE can reveal new details of the police assessment which have not been previously reported, and which raise further questions about claims made by government ministers.</p>

In Great Britain, there are about 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys each year without serious incident (about 150 million a month). It's worth keeping perspective as news media discuss banning knives on trains or installing scanners at stations.
