FIFA must speak out on Gaza now | Edge of Sports
More than six months into Israel's genocide in Gaza, FIFA has yet to speak out in defense of Palestinian life. The wild success of the Palestinian team at this year's Asian Cup did nothing to move FIFA to action. Not even Israel's killings of Palestinian soccer legends Hani Al-Masdar and Mohammed Barakat, who livestreamed his final moments to the world, have convinced FIFA to break its shameful silence. Dave Zirin takes aim at FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, in this edition of 'Choice Words.'

They have already spoken by punishing all football clubs whose fans raised Palestinian flag
Crazy how the captain of Palestine football team got murdered live on video by Israel and the whole football world stayed silent. Any other country and this would have been headlines worldwide.

🔥The Real News Network caves to Zionist pressure and fires Chris Hedges because he talked the truth about genocide! If you care about the truth, anti-war, free speech, censorship etc: unsubscribe from this channel and don’t sponsor them any where! We can’t have a genocidal country dictating what news can be viewed in America. Pass on this message!
It's the racism of this disgrace called FIFA
I got called a racist slur arrival in Germany in 09
Very heartbreaking, thank you for speaking out about the truth. Israel and the west has been dehumanizing palestinian for over 7 decades

Why is Israel in the European League whereas Palestine and all the surrounding countries are in the Asian League? Is Israel pretending to be a European country geographically situated in the Middle East (now known as West Asia)? Israel should be forced to play in the AFC and deal with the reception they'd likely get.
Is rail doomed as a way of travel?

Thank you for reporting on this.
Last year in 2023, fifa u-20 worldcup in indonesia has been canceled and fifa has has potentially threatened to impose sanction on indonesia as indonesian boycoted and banned the israely football team.
Boycotting if they remain silent
THE SPORT It never Could be Supporting anyone else, Who have had the opportunity to Standing for the trudh and SOLIDARITY, However has Choosed by Step back on Actions insteady.
Fifa is no better than the Olympic committee.
They're both rigged.
There are myriad events unfolding worldwide, and the world won't come to a standstill for any particular incident.....A few years ago, there was conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and now we witness tensions between Israel and Palestine. In the future, we'll likely witness wars in other regions as well....People should avoid becoming overly emotionally invested in these conflicts
Today i feel like a gangster!
My grandpa was an international FIFA referee. He is disgraced by FIFA"s support of you know who.

did we mention Infantino’s silence w/ Iran’s 🌎 Cup qualification? another team “European Champions” should’ve been the substitute.
Kick Israel out if fifa sigh change.or
#FreePalestine!
BUT. FIFA. LOVVE. CHILD. PLAYERS. ??????
They are indeed Chasing The Little Blue Dragon
Why does FIFA have to say anything about Israel? It's not like with Russia or Qatar, that their organizing the WC and are horrible countries when it comes to human rights.
Yes it's not like Israel is an ethno-apartheid state, quietly committing ethnic cleansing and horrific human rights abuses in the West Bank pogroms and prisons, not to mention they are not occupying and stealing land. And finally they are not committing genocide.
They should speak out and condemned islamic terorrism
What about western imperialism and Israeli apartheid that must be condemned too.
Who cares ffs u think cause FIFA says anything it'll do anything? Talk about brain rot
It's the racism of this disgrace called FIFA
