No Rest for Genocide Enabler FIFA

Israel’s unspeakable horrors against Palestinians in Gaza continue unabated, emboldened by the complicity of international organizations such as FIFA.

 

During the night, Israel firebombed dozens of tents of forcibly displaced Palestinians precariously sheltering on the grounds of Al Aqsa Hospital, killing at least four and injuring at least 70 - many of them critically.

Yesterday, an Israeli drone targeted children playing football in the Al-Shati refugee camp in central Gaza, killing five.

The day before, Israeli attacks on the Nuseirat Camp killed two more young footballers, both named Ibrahim Al-Jamel.

For ten days now, Israel has laid siege to northern Gaza, conducting an extermination campaign against 400,000 Palestinian survivors trapped there with no food or water, under heavy bombing, and no place to go. Israel is firing on Palestinians who try to leave, who shelter in tents, who try to rescue the injured.

Israel’s Gaza genocide has killed at least 42,000 Palestinians.

Israel’s massacres in Lebanon have killed at least 2,300. 

FIFA is enabling Israel’s genocide and massacres by continuing to shield it from accountability.

Today, thousands will protest the Italy v Israel Nations League match in the northern city of Udine.

 

Join them on social media to call for FIFA to #BanIsrael.

Take action: We won’t stop shaming genocide enabler FIFA!
    

Sports media are reporting that ticket sales for today’s match have plummeted, with only about 40% being sold. There is no place for genocide in the beautiful game!

FIFA has blood on its hands. Last week it proposed more useless “investigations” into Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, allowing genocidal apartheid Israel to continue to play in its matches. As if the ICJ rulings are not good enough!

We need peaceful disruptions of FIFA matches until FIFA does the right thing and kicks apartheid Israel out of world football, as it did to apartheid South Africa. FIFA won’t do it unless we make it.

Join us as we pledge No Rest for Genocide Enabler FIFA! And stay tuned for the France v Israel Nations league match in Paris on November 14.
