Fans of Israeli soccer team barred from major upcoming game in UK over 'safety' concerns

Fans of the Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer are prohibited from attending a Europa League game in Birmingham, England on Nov. 6.

The team's English opponent, Aston Villa, who is hosting the game, made the announcement Thursday, citing safety concerns. Last year Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were attacked in Amsterdam at a game against Ajax.

"The club are in continuous dialogue with Maccabi Tel Aviv and the local authorities throughout this ongoing process, with the safety of supporters attending the match and the safety of local residents at the forefront of any decision," Aston Villa said in a statement.

Maccabi Tel Aviv FC supporters were reportedly the target of violence in Amsterdam before and during the soccer team’s match against Ajax last year. More than a dozen people have already been charged in connection with the violence and several have already been convicted after a series of violent overnight incidents.

Pro-Palestine protesters have been a common fixture at Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in 2025.

The mob veto that Ann Coulter references. Campus speech canceled by university president due to the mobs of chanting woke leftists who hate her arriving on campus.

Demonstrably, historic English cultural is gone. It’s just as the NWO/WEF ultra wealthy world’s elite have orchestrated it to be, crush western culture using unchecked Islamist immigrants to do their dirty work. Then what?

The UK will turn Islamic. Then France and Germany will be next. All of this will happen by 2050. The UK? As soon as 2030.
