Fans should boycott any game involving Israeli teams and should consider boycotting the competitions totally - why is an Israeli team participating in a European competition anyway? Political leaders don't give a rip about the people but maybe the Daddy Warbucks-types who own these franchises and see a hit to their bottom line will raise enough hell to get things to change.

They should be treated as pariahs the world over, and they are as far as regular people are concerned (for the countries in which the people are allowed to be aware of what's happening, which these days makes it more likely to happen in China than in the west), but governments and corporations are living in a different universe with different principles.

I've always considered the human species to be the worst natural catastrophe since the extinction of dinosaurs, but zionists (not just those in Palestine) are really the poster child killers for being a fucking plague upon the world.

Absolutely perfect illustration of what we enable with the way the media and the Western political class framed what happened in Amsterdam.

There was a football match between Israel and France yesterday and this 👇 happened at the beginning of the match: a horde of Israeli supporters openly lynched some French supporters in the stands.

Macron himself was in attendance at the match to show his commitment to "fighting antisemitism" after Amsterdam... He made no public comment that I know of on these French supporters getting lynched in front of his eyes. And the police made no reported arrests.

Had the reverse been the case, had this been some Israeli supporters getting lynched by a horde of French supporters, you can absolutely bet 100% that he (and all the French media) would have made a huge deal out of it.

You cannot overstate the absurdism of it: because we've so gaslighted ourselves around "antisemitism" and so distorted the meaning of it, Western countries would literally rather let our their own citizens get lynched on their own soil - in front of the president's eyes (!) - than face accusations being "antisemitic" in their own definition of the term.
