Masked pro-Gaza activists 'beam Patrick Christys onto Villa Park' in chilling protest ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv fixture

Pro-Gaza activists, clad in black clothes and masks, have shared a video appearing to show them beaming GB News’s Patrick Christys onto Villa Park ahead of tonight’s Maccabi Tel Aviv fixture.

The chilling video, published by the group Deenified, features four men on the streets of Birmingham along with the caption “Zionists not welcome”.

Ahead of tonight’s clash between Aston Villa and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, fury erupted when fans were banned from attending the game.

In light of clashes between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax fans in Amsterdam last year, West Midlands Police classified the fixture as “high risk”.

The Safety Advisory Group responsible for Villa Park’s safety certificate then made the announcement, which both Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch slammed.

Despite the decision, Deenified shared the video of them taking to the streets in the dead of night.

In the first section of the clip, four men in hoods could be seen standing before the Villa stadium, looking up at what appeared to be a projection.

They watched a compilation of media personalities, including Patrick Christys, discussing the fixture.

Interspacing the talking heads were clips of the war in Gaza, showing both injured civilians and destroyed buildings.

Despite its appearance, GB News understands the addition of the news clips was overlaid onto the video in post-production rather than actually projected onto Villa Park.

“Disclaimer: while recording, we came across activists putting up placards, so we decided to record them as part of our video,” was also captioned in the post.

This set up the next section of the video, which showed other masked men fixing signs to lamp posts bearing slogans like: “If you see a Zionist, call the anti-terror hotline.”
