> „We will never tolerate antisemitism or extremism on our streets. We will continue to work closely with the police to ensure that this game goes ahead safely, and that Jewish communities across this country get the safety and security they deserve.“

It wasn’t the fear of antisemitism on the streets that initiated the ban on Maccabi fans attending.

Instead, it was their demonstrated propensity for violence.

This is a classic example of how a law and order issue gets conflated with being a religious / racial prejudicial decision.

The decision to ban Maccabi was made on public safety grounds. Based on their previous performance.
