As the genocide continues against the Palestinian people and we continue to witness new atrocities committed against the civilian population, now including their operations in Lebanon, it is more imperative than ever that FIFA and UEFA treat Israel in the same manner it has treated other country's in conflict,  like Russia.

We have reached a stage in the ethnic cleansing of our people in which everything imaginable has been done against them while the international community watches on. Our government is complicit in assisting the terrorizing force that "mows the lawn" like ruthless assassin's. Please continue to sign and share this and any petition calling for the punishment of the Israeli government and it's assets. 

Some may believe soccer doesn't really play into the country's economy, but the revenue created by competing in international sports is quite significant, and as long as they continue competing, some of that money continues to go to committing war crimes against a mostly civilian population. 

We know 50% of Gaza's population is children, leaving 50% as adult men and women. If we assume the gender balance is split between men and women, then we can say that about 25% of that are adult males. If you go further and split that in half, assuming half the men are resistance fighters and militant... and that number may be a little high honestly, we're looking at 13.5% of male fighters. What that leaves you with is a 25 sq mi² area of which 88.5% are civilians. When you take that into account, you realize you have a sophisticated technologically modern military having a full aggressive offensive on a predominantly civilian population.

This needs to end as soon as possible. 3 months was too long, a year has been an eternity, and any longer is forced continued living in hell on earth. Please open your heart and push to get more signatures. It's a really small gesture, but it's one of the few ways I can help in my condition from afar. Thank you and blessings be upon you. ✌️🙏🫶
