344 young Palestinian footballers have been killed during Israel’s ongoing, livestreamed Gaza genocide.
That’s almost one per day since Israel began its genocidal assault on 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Israel is still allowed to participate in FIFA matches.
Last week, mobs of racist Israeli fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv football team incited to genocide and went on a violent rampage in Amsterdam ahead of and after the Europa League match against Ajax.
The criminal Israeli gangs violently attacked persons appearing to be Arab and homes displaying support for Palestinian rights.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Maccabi Tel Aviv team itself has sent “care packages” to Israeli soldiers committing genocide in Gaza and organized “motivational” videos of its many employee soldiers in Gaza.
Genocidal apartheid Israel should not be playing in any FIFA matches.
FIFA has been shielding Israel’s brutal, decades-old regime of apartheid, and now genocide, from accountability for years. But pressure is mounting and we won’t be silent.
Thanks to our incessant calls and even official pressures, FIFA was forced to vote on banning Israel. While it ultimately voted to once again delay a decision, it is a sign that our pressure is having an effect.
Today, during the France vs Israel Nations League match, let’s maintain our commitment of #NoRestForFIFA.
