The FIFA Council is set to vote on October 3 on whether genocidal apartheid Israel should be banned from world football.
Banning Israel from FIFA should be a no brainer.
Israel is escalating its year-long Gaza genocide killing at least 41,000 Palestinians, waging all out violence across the occupied Palestinian West Bank, and conducting an unprecedented aggression on Lebanon, killing at least 1,873 and displacing 1 million people in just a few days, amidst threats of a ground offensive.
Israel has all but wiped out Palestinian sporting infrastructure in Gaza and destroyed stadiums in the occupied West Bank.
The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) was forced to indefinitely postpone all football matches due to Israel’s massacres in Lebanon.
Not to mention the fact that the Israel Football Association includes and advocates to maintain illegal settlement teams in its official leagues in violation of international law and FIFA statutes.
FIFA has already scheduled and then postponed the vote to ban Israel, not once but twice. Both times it aimed to shield Israel from accountability and to allow it to participate in important sporting events, such as the Olympics and Nations League matches.
FIFA thinks it can tire us out of calling to Ban Israel. Let’s show them that nothing could be farther from the truth.
Tell FIFA, banning genocidal apartheid Israel is legally and morally a no brainer
Take action now, ahead of the FIFA Council vote on October 3.
Tag FIFA Council members. They need to hear from us.
