Pro-Palestinan activists have claimed that the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were the first to engage in harassment and violence, saying they assaulted Arabs in the city and vandalized Palestinian flags.

Israeli fans could be heard chanting “We’ll fuck the Arabs,” and “Fuck you Palestine” in video footage

Dude I can't believe that this shit happened in our capital... I'm very disappointed in our local government, police and inhabitants that took part in everything that happened. It really feels like the world is sliding towards a massive conflict at a rapid rate now.

They boycotted the minute of silence before the game for the victims of the floods in Valencia (something that as a Spaniard I thank the organizers for). You should kick them out of the country as soon as possible, I don't even know what they are doing competing in Europe, they are an Asian country, they should try to play with their neighbors

No Middle Eastern team, self-respecting or not, would play against an Israeli team.

Nope. As a Middle Eastern guy it was and still is literally unthinkable.
