    Chelsea as a club have been very vocal about antisemitism for about a decade now.
    Abramovich has become progressively closer to Israel in that time and his influence is clear.
    There's still a massive streak of it though and certain sections of the fanbase are riddled with it.

    That’s fair. The timing and context isn’t great though. Often the Graun will put a small editor’s note-style paragraph at the top giving some context, especially if the article was written a little while before publishing, and they didn’t even do that.

    There's also the minor detail that Abramovich is Jewish

    That's more for tax reasons and also to secure a citizenship in the event of various extradition attempts.
