European football bosses UEFA have decided that they WILL ban clubs hailing from genocidal apartheid Israel from participating in European competitions. The move has come despite pressure from US president Donald Trump. The news comes according to crew members of the Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla with connections inside the organisation.
After heavy pressure from Trump’s envoys, UEFA had originally decided to ignore demands from the United Nations Office for Human Rights, Qatar, The Italian Football Coaches’ Association and others to kick Israel out because of its genocide in Gaza, blatant contempt for humanity and international law and the openly racist and violent behaviour of its fans. However, after further backlash from fans, players and international coaches, UEFA has apparently u-turned and an announcement is expected soon.
As usual, Israel wanted to have its cake and eat it: Zionists claim Palestine is theirs because they are the original West Asian owners of it, but also want to be treated as European when it comes to sport and music. Now it appears they’ve hit a roadblock.
