Please yourself. When I say it's symptomatic of Israeli attitudes to Arabs I'm talking about an attitude endemic in the country that has not been effectively addressed. Outrages at football matches in this country one tenth as bad as that one are roundly condemned here (as Luis Suarez discovered), and their incidence has reduced to almost nil. What I am not saying, just as I would not have said about violence and racism at football matches here in the 50s, 60s and 70s, is that it meant everyone in the country was racist. There are racist bigots everywhere, but we can usefully judge a country by what they do about it. The fact that Israel has 70s-style difficulties of this kind at their matches speaks volumes about where they are along the road to fighting racism. And that is not very far. And you do have to wonder whether they care.
