Pro-Palestine group backs Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban but calls for Aston Villa match to be canceled

LONDON: The Palestine Solidarity Campaign has welcomed the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending their upcoming UEFA Europa League match at Aston Villa but says the fixture itself should be canceled. In a statement issued on Friday, PSC said the ban should be understood in the context of what it described as the club’s “track record of committing racist violence” in cities hosting their games, as well as Maccabi Tel Aviv’s alleged involvement in Israel’s apartheid system.
