Chelsea and Arsenal Jewish fan groups condemn football's 'silence' on the crisis between Israel and Palestine and urge leaders to speak out... as they call Hamas attacks 'one of the worst atrocities in the West since the Holocaust'

Chelsea and Arsenal Jewish supporter groups have condemned football's silence over Hamas's attacks on Israel, with both describing it as the 'worst atrocity in the West since the Holocaust'.

Hamas terrorists launched rocket strikes on Israel and invaded parts of the country, killing civilians and kidnapping others with swift retaliation later following.

In Israel, the death toll from Saturday's assault rose to 1,200 - making it the deadliest attack in the country's 75-year history, while Gaza officials reported more than 900 people killed as Israel pounded the territory with air strikes.
