Just since genocide enabler FIFA postponed, yet again, a vote on banning Israel from international football, Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestinian sports and the Palestinian people have only escalated.
Last Monday, an Israeli airstrike on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza killed Palestinian footballer Mohammed Al-Baaz.
Mohammad is among more than 297 Palestinian footballers and the fourth player for Premier League team Ahli Gaza FC to be killed by Israel’s Gaza genocide, along with more than 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
During its violent onslaught against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank this week, Israel destroyed the Jenin Municipal Football Stadium, as it has destroyed or damaged all sporting facilities in Gaza.
FIFA’s latest shameful postponement allows Israel to play in the UEFA Nations League matches, starting today with Belgium.
FIFA’s previous shameful postponement allowed Israel to compete in Olympic football matches.
FIFA thinks it can quietly continue to cover for genocidal Israel. Let’s prove it wrong!
