How racism and war spur soccer violence: Sports and politics don't mix?

Update: 2024-11-13

Description

A football match in Paris is raising concerns over potential clashes between Jewish and Palestinian sympathisers. Security measures have been heightened following last week's violence in Amsterdam, where Israeli supporters clashed with both local men of Arab origin and Dutch fans. Tensions fuelled by the Gaza conflict have brought emotions to a boiling point. We ask our special panel: can we still say that sport and politics don't mix?

Produced by Mark Owen, Théophile Vareille, Guillaume Gougeon and Ilayda Habip.
