PA foreign ministry condemns anti-Arab chants from Maccabi fans, mum on their assault

The Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry issues a statement condemning the anti-Arab chants and “hostile actions” of Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans last night in Amsterdam, making no mention of the violent attacks on them by pro-Palestinian mobs.

The PA statement says the Maccabi fans’ actions “included the desecration and removal of the Palestinian flag from symbolic sites that signify solidarity with Palestinian rights and resistance against the ongoing occupation and systematic violence in Gaza.”
