It's in the intention and how it is recieved, the intention is that Jewish and non Jewish Spurs fans are supporting the Jewish spurs fans. When Spurs still get songs about gas chambers then I think the intention is honourable.
However, if the Jewish Spurs Fans are uncomfortable with it, then however honourable the intentions it is misguided.

One supporter of hacking argued that without it "you will do away with the courage and pluck of the game, and I will be bound to bring over a lot of Frenchmen who would beat you with a week's practice -Blackheath secretary at first meeting of the F.A

Can you really not see any difference between chanting something innocuous like "the greatest team the world has ever seen" and something that a great many people find offensive?

Actually Syd, this topic has been discussed a lot in recent times across the media. You are also dealing with a section of the community that is particualrly sensitive to perjorative epithets.

It has been said that by adopting a term like "yid" it could become meaningless; neutralised by common use. Unfortunately, the terms "n****r" and "queer" are both adopted and regularly used by the black and gay community respectively and, if anything, have become even more emotionally charged than before.

Thus, my personal creed is that I avoid any ambiguity and simply use the worst terms available to describe all minority groups [when at home].

No anti-Islam songs though are there?

Surprised no one's thrown a pigs head at Anelka in response to what he did. Not that I'm recommending it but you know, an eye for an eye and all that...

It does seem that Jews are fair game for abuse but everyone is too sh*t scared to have a pop at muslim players or fans in case they start burning effirgies of you in the street.

Apparently some can't, Ian (says Syd, picking up his plastic liberal bed-wetters undersheet while retiring semi-gracefully from the thread.)
