      I think that’s no doubt true but if they’d have lit it up straight away on the night of Oct 7th then they could say they’d done their bit.

      What sort of people would get offended by showing the flag of a country who suffered a terrible attack?

          I’m not weighing in on the original argument but I’m going to have to hit you with the fact that you support an English team

            If you took the time to go through my comments you could at least dedicate a similar amount of time to making a point.

              Only takes on click tbf but I guess my point is you shouldn’t generalise a persons opinion to an entire nation

    Why are they apologising to a religious group because of what is going on in countries?

    This is honestly the same reaction most of my Israeli friends have had online since this flared up, basically everyone is not performatively supporting Israel enough whereas nearly everything I have seen on the pro-Palestinian side is about providing aid and pressuring governments to pressure Israel into ending this.

    It shouldnt be on football to pick sides in a complex international situation like this.

    I’m Jewish and the way Israel weaponizes antisemitism as a shield against all the terrible things it does makes me sick

        maybe but it’s completely disingenuous to present it as a counterpoint it’s just a weird ‘all lives matter’ argument

        I’d argue that Israel actively incites antisemitism by claiming to commit hate crimes on our behalf

    This is getting very tedious. Israel and Jews abroad don’t have a more worthy roll call of the dead.

    Does the FA light the arch for dead Palestinians?

    The Audacity, the claim of " saudi don’t have humans rights " its in “ethical” when Newcastle was bought. NOW when a real genocide and massacre is happening in front of their eyes they look the other side and act oblivious and apologies that they can’t support the country that kil.l babies in their crips.
