    Are you serious??

    Irony Inda, irony...keep up!...he's a Sephardic Jew. West Hams co-chairman David Gold is also of Jewish descent.

    Of course I'm serious.

    Over a third of people in Israel are not Jewish.

    Really?! Living in Israel isn't quite the same as being Israeli but that still surprises me.

    There is a large Palestinian community, given they don't have a proper homeland of their own and Israel is where the work is.

    Only because the Israelis have only kicked them out of their homes, not yet off their land...

    Yossi Benayoun is a pretty Israeli and Jewish sounding name.
    Although I guess, if you aren't Jewish nor Muslim, it might be difficult to differentiate between an Israeli name and an Arab name.

    What West Ham fans did was pretty diabolical and ridiculously stupid. I'm very glad the West Ham board, charimen, manager and a player were all quick to condemn the chants!

    Lets hope that is the end of it. Although I'm guessing its wishful thinking.

    Not quite true.

    Israel's current population is 7,941,900 of whom 5,985,100 are Jews.

    That's over 75% of the total population.

    I think Inda's a Spurs fan from Rome, thus the slightly controversial views about Lazio.
    Always good to get an alternative point of view, even if you don't necessarily agree with it.

    The figures that I've seen suggest that roughly 25% of Israel's population is non-Jewish, so he's roughly right about that.
    I think Notso's point was pretty obvious, though.

    ahh, the "let's wear a shirt to fight against racism" technique. That'll make all the difference.

    I wish my maths exams accepted barely a quarter, as roughly a third (as he said). :)

    Figures vary quite dramatically from different sources, for some reason, Notso.
    It's close enough to not think he's on a wind up, anyway.

    Can't remember what I Googled exactly, but it was something like 'religious demographics of Israel'.
    Perhaps the figures weren't counting non-religious Jews or something?

    Apparently not!...

    "Lazio were wearing a special jersey for this game carrying the slogan ‘No racism’ after recent incidents in and around the Europa League games with Tottenham. It made little difference to certain figures in the stands, who launched another anti-Semitic chant that was quickly drowned out by the jeers of the majority."
