On April 11, 1981, two neighbouring Palestinian Arab towns competed in a soccer match. When a fight broke out between fans, the violence quickly escalated. Drawing on interviews, council archives, and media reports, Shihade explores the incident and subsequent attack on Kafr Yassif in the context of prevailing theories of ethnic and communal conflict.
