Why shouldn’t they be? Their athletes aren’t killing people. 

Plenty of them will have voted that barbaric, Hitler cunt into power. They have innocent blood on their hands.

Yeah, at least not full time …


 

Every Israeli football player is a soldier.

Joining the Israeli army is mandatory in order to become a football player in the national team.

This is one of many reasons why the Palestine Football Association (PFA) is asking FIFA to expel Israel and uphold its own rules and regulations.

When the Ukraine war began, athletes from Russia and Belarus were forced to compete as “neutral” athletes. This meant no flag, no anthem, and no connection to the armed forces or support for the war.

Not only are all Israeli football players soldiers, but they regularly advertise and promote the Israeli army, posting photos of themselves in their Israeli army fatigues, and inciting genocide on social media.

 

One Israeli football player, Shon Weissman asked: “Why haven’t 200 tonnes of bombs already been dropped on Gaza?”. He's in the Israeli air force.

His teammate Tomer Yosefi said on Instagram: “We’ll erase Gaza permanently”.

Even the Israeli women’s team put together a montage where they switch back and forth between their Israeli army uniforms and football jerseys. The message is clear: we are not just football players, but soldiers, and proud of it.

FIFA claims that football should be impartial and apolitical. Yet many Israeli football clubs host receptions for Israeli soldiers, fundraise for them, promote recruitment, and post pro-war propaganda online and obituaries for dead Israelis.

So Britain, The US, China, Russia, a good few African countries and Venezuela shouldn’t compete then?

I don’t get how banning athletes from the olympics helps any cause. Same as Medvedev getting banned from Tennis. Just gives an excuse for the victim line from those actually orchestrating the barbarism. Let them compete. If they get booed in front of a global audience then maybe more people will question why. 
 

Medvedev is my favourite tennis player now Nadal is done and not once have I disliked him because he’s Russian

I loved Youssi Benayoun.

 

It’s not about who they are. It’s about their involvement and public support for IDF crimes.

Let them compete abroad then so they can see what the people think outside of their media silenced country

I think Israeli athletes have to serve time in the IDF. Also we saw how the Israeli propaganda machine went into overdrive during and after the Eurovision song contest. Although I do agree with you on your general point.

No idea why you do … next time just start with the childish name calling and save yourself the embarrassment of trying to have a rational conversation.

Ok. One of my girlfriends best mates who she grew up with now lives in Tel Aviv. She’s married to an Israeli fella she met at Liverpool uni. They’ve got two lovely daughters and for years have to run down into the shelter under their apartment block when the sirens go. They slept on the floor at Athens airport and spent a month crashing in Barcelona after it all kicked off last October. He’s a lovely bloke a Liverpool fan and a genuinely placid nice guy. He’s a sound engineer and good at it. He did national service. Should I criminalise him?

No. Not if he doesn’t participate in or support genocide. 
 

I re-qoute in case you missed it the first time:

We are a nation that is selling arms to a country that is openly shooting children in the head, at random. 

 

 

 

 


From that same article: 

 

“In the operating room, we examined Juri from head to toe. This beautiful, meek little girl was missing two inches of her left femur along with most of the muscle and skin on the back of her thigh. Both of her buttocks were flayed open, cutting so deeply through flesh that the lowest bones in her pelvis were exposed. As we swept our hands through this topography of cruelty, maggots fell in clumps onto the operating room table.

 

“Jesus Christ,” Feroze muttered as we washed the larvae into a bucket, “she’s just a fucking kid.”


Harrowing.
 

The perpetrators who ordered these atrocities deserve the same kind of justice that Saddam Hussein faced. 
 

Vile, bloodthirsty war criminals. Scum. Animals. How else can you describe people who act in such a vile, despicable manner?

From last night's attack posted a bit further up with the two dead girls lying dead on a slab. Here they are, Judy and Mena.

How can we as a country still stand side by side with the perpetrators of these crimes? How will history judge us? Probably with a similar amount of disgust many are judging us today.

A lot of high profile British muslim doctors and heart specialists are  sharing and discussing this hospital report from Gaza. Plus the pics of more dead girls.  It's not unfair to say its not going down well. The ramifications of this are going to last for many years. The divisions its created below the surface are going to be difficult to heal.

It doesn’t seem to be a matter of choice.

 

The perpetrators of these crimes seem to control UK foreign policy.

They do. As in America the Israeli lobby has spread though Westminster like a cancer. Unfortunately it's embedded in our media also. The more it gets called out the better.

At last some good news.

 

Netenyahu just said hardly a single civilian was killed in the offence on Rafah and the whole of Gaza have plenty of food and are well fed. That's a relief. 

 

 

He went on to lavishly praise Donald Trump and said the whole of Israel breathed a sigh of relief when he got up after being shot. Probably by the Iranians.
