Do you mods ever look at thread titles / first posts and just sigh, in a "well, this could be a busy day" way?
Agree with the last bit. Absolutely sick of the middle east and their horrendous never ending wars.
Having read both sides seems like both sets of fans as bad as each other !!
Strangely daily mail ran a story attributing more blame to tel aviv fans
Israeli football thugs tear down Palestine flags in Amsterdam
Videos show dozens of hooded figures dressed fully in black cheering and chanting 'f*** you Palestine' and 'ole' as one climbed halfway up the front of a building and removed a flag.

What are visiting fans from the Middle East doing tearing down Palestinian flags in a European country?
Anti-semitism or protest against the slaughter in Gaza?
Having seen people on Twitter claiming it was a 'pogrom' while others are claiming the attackers, who looked remarkably like the ultras we met, are a 'Muslim gang' and yet other videos of Maccabi fans tearing down Palestinian flags and attacking people, I'm going to assume this is going to be a superbly well balanced debate, taking both sides into account, understanding the nuances and having people use their own experience of football in Amsterdam and fights at other football matches to guide them, culminating in a 'good point, see you down the pub' and the thread going down the board by lunchtime.*

The situation being what it is right now, any football clash between fans is liable to be branded anti semiotic, whether it is or not.
I did not hear of any problem with locals in Amsterdam when we played them .
NB .. it is not Fascist to feel sympathy for the Palestinians .

No rule against it. My neighbour has a South Africa one, he's from Cape Town.Conversely why is someone putting up a bloody Palestine flag in Europe
If Middle East teams want to play in European competition, fans best behave and be tolerant
I get ya point. Just feels like it's tit for tat. They're as bad as each other.
