Tel Aviv football derby cancelled after 'violent riots', as club describes 'brutal police violence'

A football derby in Tel Aviv between Hapoel and Maccabi has been cancelled after "violent riots", according to Israeli police.

Nine people were arrested on Sunday night at Bloomfield Stadium, a venue shared by both clubs. Hapoel were the home team for the game.

The whole thing sounds like a throwback to violence on the terraces in 1970's Britain.

The Maccabis team is the same team and fans that UK PM Keir Starmer is bending over backwards to allow to an Aston Villa match in Birmingham in order to avoid accusations of anti-semitism if they are banned from the match.

It seems very likely that anti-semintism is going to be truly stoked if a bunch of Israeli fans go on the rampage in the UK emulating the recent riot at home in Israel.

FNN wonders if the real agenda is to allow the Maccabi fans to go to the Villa match, anticipating a riot that can then be blamed on 'right-wing thugs' in order to justify fruther crackdowns on the right to protest and freedom of speech in the UK?

Juyst sayin'.
