As Israel kills another young Palestinian footballer – FIFA votes to shield it

Corrupt FIFA was forced, thanks to you and many around the world, to finally hold its vote on banning genocidal apartheid Israel last week.

FIFA first hijacked the General Assembly vote last May in order to restrict the vote to the FIFA Council. It then postponed the Council vote, not once but twice!

However, being corrupt to the core, FIFA concocted a vote for more “investigations” that will only give more time to Israel to continue its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, massacres in Lebanon, and violent assaults on the occupied Palestinian West Bank.

This also allows apartheid Israel to continue to participate in Nations League matches, including today’s match against France.

The same day that FIFA voted to continue to shield apartheid Israel from accountability, Israel conducted an unprecedented attack on the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem, killing 18, including 20-year-old footballer Majdy Salem.

We won’t stop shaming corrupt FIFA until it bans apartheid Israel! Take action now, for Majdy and the hundreds of Palestinian footballers killed by Israel in the past year….more
