I like an AI fail news story as much as the next person, but do resist the lure of the Birmingham/Maccabi Tel Aviv story being repackaged as an AI fail story.
It's an Israeli propaganda success story, and a police chief has had to resign over doing something that Israeli police do themselves, and with a lot less diplomacy.

Haven't heard UK politicians say that Tel Aviv must not become a "no go area for Jews" yet though. Probably because it would be harder to justify.
