    I reckon there’s probably a middle ground which both supports allowing people to watch football, and does not support selling weapons to a genocidal state.

        And it’s a club with a mob of hooligans who were attacking Muslim-appearing people in Amsterdam a few months ago. That was when they were playing against Ajax, who have historically had a large base of Jewish fans (rather like Spurs in London). So it was definitely more about hooliganism than Jewish identity.

        Yeah, I know who they are, I just don’t think that even the most horrible football fan behaviour is remotely on a par with arms dealers selling weapons to Israel.

            Sure, but if you’re trying to accuse someone of hypocrisy, both things need to be of a similar magnitude.

            I’m neither pro-murder, nor pro-kicking-in-the-bollocks, but I still think “You used to be against murder, but now you’re in favour of kicking people in the bollocks, you’re such a hypocrite” is a nonsensical argument.
