Tiktekno: clip summarizing today's events in sport, 30.1/Sport1
Maccabi Tel Aviv is already used to a hostile and anti-Israel atmosphere in the stands of the Fernando Boas Arena, Baskonia's home stadium.
Year after year, displays of hatred and anti-Semitism appear in the team's games against Maccabi Tel Aviv, but it seems that with the Gaza war in the background, tomorrow (Thursday, 9:30 p.m.) the Yellows will receive an unusually hostile reception.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinians are planning a march outside the hall, and promise to bring it into the grounds as well.
And while Maccabi Tel Aviv is waiting for the spirits to calm down, in the Basque media they continue dangerous incitement.
"Tomorrow, Maccabi Tel Aviv, the ambassador of Israeli basketball in Europe, will be hosted in Vitoria for a game that will be defined as a high-risk event. Why high? Not because of Maccabi Tel Aviv's chances of winning, but because the game is taking place while Israel is committing genocide and has murdered 25,000 Palestinians in four months." It was written today in an opinion column on one of the popular sites in the Basque media.
"Maccabi has been hosted at Boasa Arena many times, and its visits have always been accompanied by restrictions and a violation of freedom of expression for Basconia fans who wanted to express solidarity with the Palestinians."
The familiar sights will be doubled and multiplied.

The writer continues: "Maccabi Tel Aviv is well used to this, and makes sure to terrorize the Basque fans. Unfortunately, sometimes the Vitoria police also have to cooperate with them and prevent fans from waving Palestinian flags, shouting the cry of the Palestinians and sympathizing with their suffering. This time it must not happen. If the police It is a reliable body, it cannot allow restrictions and punishment on citizens it is supposed to protect. This time we will not allow an external force to take control of us. We must not allow the Mossad to control its victory.
"Maccabi Tel Aviv threatened not to play if fans waved Palestinian flags in the stands.
If it does happen tomorrow, the solution is simple and easy: give them no to the game.
Let them suffer a technical loss.
The problem is with Maccabi Tel Aviv, not with the fans at Esconia."
