Leeds United call for respect to be shown on Sunday as players break their fast, including striker Joel Piroe

“Jews, Jews, dirty Jews” “Zionists, dirty Zionists” “Go back to the gas chambers” This is what Jewish school children were subjected to yesterday whilst playing in a football match. How revolting. Students from London’s JFS were playing in Norwich in a quarterfinal match in the U15 Schools Football tournament against Thorpe St Andrew School, when they were allegedly subjected to these vile abusive chants from the opposing team’s supporters. It appears that the concerns raised about the chants were not dealt with at the time of the incident, and so the complaints have rightly been elevated to the police. There is no excuse for this kind of outrageous and potentially criminal behaviour. We urge the police to investigate and any offenders must face the full force of the law. The school too must probe what has happened and take urgent educational steps. Our Education team is ready to provide assistance. We cannot allow tropes like these to become normalised in British schools.
