Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, attacked in Amsterdam, return to Israel to a hero's welcome, repeating controversial chants at Ben Gurion Airport, intensifying regional tensions.
The Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were greeted by a large crowd upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport after the recent clashes in Amsterdam. In a disturbing display, fans once again sang controversial and offensive chants, including lines such as “Ole, ole, ole, let the IDF win, f** the Arabs”* and “Ole, ole, ole, no more schools in Gaza because there are no more children.”
The tensions began when Maccabi fans caused a stir in Amsterdam, marching towards the stadium under police escort while chanting provocative songs. They were also seen removing Palestinian flags from the streets, which quickly led to a violent confrontation as local supporters clashed with the visiting Israelis.
The scenes in Israel highlight the ongoing regional tensions that have spilled over into the world of football, sparking further controversy both at home and abroad.
