Israel is not in europe> uefa failed

[chrisallen]

This is not just about football. There are many incidents within many categories of events that the same application of double standards are used. Not one person talks about how this came to be. I have heard countless religious scholars describe what it really means to be The Chosen, yet the inherent superiority of the Jews is the story told. Amsterdam media response was pure fiction. How did a group of grown up professionals choose to get it so wrong?

[stevethered]

Exactly. I would not even call it double standards, but simply a case of having a free run of not abiding by any laws standards or humanity.

[mothompson]

people should be treated equally - thank you sir

[foundationsrus]

Why is Israel playing in a European competition??

[BarkQaziBiddutNYUSA]

Many of us are agreeing with this expert's views about FIFA & UEFA❤❤❤. FIFA & UEFA NEEDS to be held responsible and accountable. For their silence, compliance and grants impunity. They should condemn the attacks and atrocities caused by these criminals of the football team and its evilest fans😮😢😢.

FIFA needs to be boycotted by BRICS member states and create its own soccer association.
