To mark the occasion of Israel hosting the UEFA Under 21 Football Tournament next month, the folks at Philosophy Football are marketing a “Boycott Apartheid Israel” t-shirt with the dates of the tournament.
As far as I’m aware, none of the European football organizations will be boycotting the tournament. So I suppose the idea is to discourage fans of the various teams from traveling to Israel to cheer on their favorites– which seems rather unfair to the players on those teams.
According to Socialist Unity:
[N]o journalists question why Israel is hosting a European tournament. Every other country in that region plays football in the Asian Confederation but none will have any sporting ties with Israel. For one reason only, its brutally lethal mistreatment of Palestine.
At least SU acknowledges that it’s Asian Confederation countries which refuse sporting ties with Israel– not the other way around. And when it comes to “brutally lethal mistreatment,” many of the countries refusing to compete against “the Zionist entity” leave Israel in the dust.
Fortunately SU provides a link to the UEFA Under 21 website, at which we learn that the team representing “apartheid Israel” includes players named Ahad Azam, Taleb Twatha, Marouan Kabah, Mohammed Kalibat and Moanes Dabour.
More Zionist trickery, no doubt.
