A company that bills itself as an “official ticket reseller” for Manchester United matches shared several anti-Israel posts on its social media, the JC has learned.
Go Official has reposted a swathe of anti-Israel comments, including one from “unapologetic antisemite” Dan Bilzerian, which read: “The government of Israel listed me as the #1 antisemitic influencer in the world. We are so f****** back!”.
Another retweet from the account featured a picture of the Israeli and USA flags alongside the words “THESE ARE THE FLAGS OF TERRORISM”.
And a third referenced the “Tesco Perfectly Ripe Avocados Twin Pack”, says the avocados are grown in Israel, before adding: “Been eating these unknowingly for ages, now feel sick”.
Two others accuse the IDF of targeting children deliberately, with one saying: “Hamas never shot 100 kids in the head with sniper bullets. The IDF did”.
Another claimed: “Almost 60 per cent of gunshot wounds that killed Palestinian children in Gaza were directly to the head and chest. They were targeted.
"It is not an ‘antisemitic blood libel’ to call Israelis who fight for the IDF baby killers.”
The JC understands that the company has since removed the tweets and believes that they were authored by a former employee using the account in error.
Upon seeing the posts, though, a Manchester United supporter wrote an email to the club, seen by the JC, which expressed their “serious concern regarding the conduct of one of your resellers”.

They called the posts “extremely troubling, especially given that they are presenting themselves as representatives of your brand”.
As well as the claim in their bio on X, the Go Official website features a badge which reads: “authorised reseller of executive club facilities at Manchester United”.
All five of the posts mentioned were reshared by the Go Official between April 3 and 15.
The JC contacted Go Official for comment.
