The group of offenders were supporters of the West Ham soccer team. The vile chat they sang was a reference to Tottenham, whose team is one of West Ham’s biggest rivals. Tottenham is also traditionally home to a large Jewish community.

The clip sparked outrage online, causing people to call for the men to be arrested, as well as for the Premier League club to enforce its own punishments.

[UPDATE: UK SOCCER FANS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY HARASSING CHAREDI JEW ON A PLANE]

Ian Austin, a life peer in the House of Lords and former Labour MP, tweeted: ‘Disgusting. That’s not an ‘anti Tottenham song’, it’s antisemitic. The poor guy. It’s racist abuse. Why weren’t they kicked off the flight? Will @WestHam identify the fans and ban them. Will @metpolice arrest and prosecute them? I’ll be writing to @karren_brady [West Ham’s vice-chairman] about this.’

Jewish writer Michael Dickson also weighed in, writing ‘Disgusting anti-Jewish chant towards a Jewish man by a crowd of fans. The club and everyone of goodwill should condemn this. Kick out racism in football and ban these ‘fans’.’

West Ham United released an official statement condemning the despicable actions caught on film, saying “West Ham United is appalled by the contents of the video circulating on social media and condemn the behaviour of the individuals involved. The Club is liaising with the airline and relevant authorities to identify the individuals. The Club is liaising with the airline and relevant authorities to identify the individuals.”

What weren’t these vile creatures kicked off the plane just for violating the mask mandates? I mean, isn’t Covid more dangerous than any harmless antisemitic chant? I remember reading about a nice couple with a disabled child was forcibly kicked off the plane for removing their masks to eat.

When returning to my seat from the restroom, someone stuck his foot out to trip me. His leg caught the bottom of my foot and I stood in the aisle until he released his foot. Like the poor guy in the picture, I quietly moved on, but the picture angers me just looking at the smiles on the young faces. Smiles we see in pictures of young Nazi soldiers interacting with yidden in the ghetto.

Rubashkin is a master of proper Jewish conduct. What would he suggest be our reaction?
Nothing in the article quotes or reader comments strikes me to be what he’d advise. I don’t know the answer but will throw out one possibility – live as pure Jew and let the light that emulates from us display what we are about, and let them decide how to react to that light. Trust in the One Above and less so in our pushback to those reacting without dignity.

As far back as 1895 a Jewish resident in South Africa wrote about the “ordinary” English there as follows : ” they were arrogant,drank a lot and cursed the Jews.They try with all their might to hinder the Jews at every turn. – they even teach the Blacks to speak badly of Jews and to curse Israel ,and sometimes they also incite them to plunder Jewish shops as has already happened several times.” [Letter from MD Hersch to “Hatzfira”,Warsaw].Seems that the old English sickness of Jew-hatred is alive and well and now even rampant on aircraft!

This just confirms something any casual observer knows already: Professional football attracts the worst elements of society and, especially among right-wingers, it serves as a proxy for tribal wars.

“The clip [of a plane full of soccer fans singing an anti-semitic chant] sparked outrage online, causing people to call for the men to be arrested…”

As vile as the anti-semitic chant may be, let’s hope there are no arrests.

Remember the famous words of Martin Niemöller

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.
