Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban: Robert Jenrick unleashes explosive rant at Sir Keir Starmer

Robert Jenrick has branded Sir Keir Starmer a “shameless coward” in an explosive tirade over the decision to block Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a Europa League match in Birmingham.

The former immigration minister said the Labour leader had spent the past week “attacking” him for saying parts of Birmingham were a “failure of integration” before suddenly expressing outrage at the move to ban Israeli supporters.

Mr Jenrick said: “Yes, I do think this vindicates me. Keir Starmer is a completely shameless coward.

“A week ago, he attacked me for saying that the very part of Birmingham, Handsworth and Aston, where Villa Park sits, is a failure of integration.

“He’s not brave enough to actually call out what’s really going on in some communities in our country.

“He doesn’t care about the British Jewish community or about fixing problems like extremism. If he did, he’d do something about it instead of trying to shut down debate.”

Mr Jenrick accused West Midlands Police of “putting community relations above policing without fear or favour”.

He said Jewish football fans were being “unfairly singled out” and that the ban was “deeply wrong”.

“You can’t have a situation where bans are taking place, let’s be honest, this is a ban on one particular club whose fans are predominantly Jewish.”

“We all know what’s going on here,” he said.

“The police should just get on and do their job, keep everyone safe and let the match go ahead.”

Birmingham’s Safety Advisory Group advised that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans should be barred from the November 6 fixture.

No10 has confirmed that talks are happening “at pace” to resolve the row.

The Home Office and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy are working with local officials to find a safe solution.

The Government has condemned the move, and the West Midlands police and crime commissioner has requested a review into it.

But the Home Office was briefed last week on possible measures to restrict fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending, the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) has said.

A Birmingham City Council spokesman said: “The Safety Advisory Group has made a decision based on a risk assessment provided by West Midlands Police.

“If there is a change in the assessment of risk in the forthcoming match between Aston Villa Football Club and Maccabi Tel Aviv, then the Safety Advisory Group will commit to review its decision as appropriate.”

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
