Some of our support wonder why we are so hated by others seemingly irrationally.

I think herein lay the answer

These people display it overtly, others don't

Agree with @Jamturk

As a non-religious Spurs fan I was shocked a few years ago when I realised that there is such a vast under-current of anti-Semitism in many parts of London. The friends I grew up with who have since moved to London have all been guilty of making anti-Semitic comments and 'jokes' regarding concentration camps in recent years - and that includes instances where it has had nothing to do with football/Spurs.

Most people who hold these views are at least self-aware enough to moderate their behaviour in public, so its become easy for many people to ignore, but anti-Semitism is as prevalent as other forms of prejudice in this country, and in London in particular it is rife.

Maybe the Chelsea fans don't realize their benefactor, Abramovic, is of Jewish descent. Or they just don't care. Such is their hatred.

They're not capable of thinking, so how are they going to care? Maybe they should try supporting their own team more than they hate us.

It wasn't a hoax.
Millions of people died.
Perhaps a public internet forum isn't the best place for you to hang out.

I think @TottenhamMattSpur is right, else why that last sentence? The mainstream media universally accepts the truth of the Holocaust yet this poster is telling us to disbelieve them on the subject. @wolff -- maybe time to clear your name?

The world is full of idiots, lots of them seem to support Arsenal and Chelsea. Even if we'd won, I still think Leicester would have got the points they needed so the result probably hasn't affected the outcome. The game we lost to West Ham and the home loss to Leicester where we dominated were more costly.
