Ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv's match in Spain:
Basconia fans yesterday sang songs condemning Israel and in favor of Palestine, in the Spanish league match between the team and Oberdeiro. The fans sang: "Maccabi Tel Aviv is not part of Europe" and called to "free Palestine".
The fans' organization is organizing a demonstration today (Monday) in front of the city hall in the Basque city against the arrival of Maccabi in Vitoria, against the background of what they describe as "whitewashing the genocide that the State of Israel is committing".
The organization distributed an invitation to a demonstration with a photo of Lior Eliyahu, who as I remember played in Baskonia in the past, alongside IDF soldiers.
Before the presence of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Vitoria and the whitewashing of the genocide that the state of Israel is perpetrating in Palestine, we called a rueda de prensa.

The Basque fans are known to be anti-Israeli, and Maccabi Tel Aviv has previously encountered unpleasant incidents at the home stadium.
This coming Thursday (9:30 p.m.) the Yellows will play against Baskonia as part of the Euroleague, in a match that may be very hot in the stands due to the war in Gaza.
Tomorrow (21:30) the Yellows will open the double week against Real Madrid away as well.
Only in November, Hapoel Holon was hosted by Rio Braugen from the city of Lugo in Spain as part of the FIBA ​​Champions League. Outside the hall dozens of people demonstrated against Israel and in favor of the Palestinians by waving Palestinian flags, signs and more.
