Israel-Palestine

Ajax have as strong links to the Jewish community than Spurs. A mate of my brothers (Ajax season ticket holder) wears a Star of David necklace and has no links to the religion at all. Strange that if it was antisemitism that none of the Ajax fans were attacked.

Sport in SA is woven into the fabric of society in a way it isn't in Israel
 
It’s complicated! I feel ways about punishing players for that sort of thing but I understand why it is deployed.
 
The UN said last week that 70% of all casualties are women and children. It isn't just westminster that can't say they don't know what is going on.
