Yarin Levi, secretary of the Chelsea Israeli Supporters&#8217; Club, who have lost four members in the conflict, said: &#8216;It is anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League says there is no room for racism unless you are Jewish. It&#8217;s super offensive. The Star of David is really part of our identity and it has caused a lot of upset and anger in the group.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The banner was taken down before Chelsea&#8217;s home game against Arsenal. Chelsea next play at home against Blackburn in the Carabao Cup tomorrow and it is not expected that there will be a resolution in time.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea will then play at Stamford Bridge again when they host Manchester City on Sunday November 12.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chelsea are laying on free coaches for supporters for the club&#8217;s Christmas Eve trip to Wolves to help ease their travel concerns. In a goodwill gesture following last week&#8217;s controversial rearrangement of the game, any Blues fan who buys a ticket will also be able to book a seat on one of the buses travelling to and from Molineux at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12691167\/Chelseas-Israeli-fans-told-Star-David-banner-despite-place-Stamford-Bridge-eight-years-following-Premier-League-ban-Israel-Palestine-flags.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea&#8217;s Israeli fans told to take down Star of David banner despite being in place at Stamford Bridge for eight years following Premier League ban on Israel and Palestine flags Chelsea Israeli Supporters&#8217;
