Israel has maintained a brutal military occupation of Palestine, building illegal settlements and a separation wall on stolen land, despite condemnation by the UN and International Court of Justice. Within Israel, over fifty laws discriminate against its Palestinian citizens. When influential sports organizations say nothing in the face of an injustice of such magnitude they are complicit. Commercial and cultural actions worldwide are increasingly demanding an end to Israel’s repressive policies.It is now time for sports initiatives to add their voice. When FIFA formally suspended the membership of the South African FA between 1964 and 1992, its action contributed to international pressure to end apartheid. Therefore, the petition asks FIFA to follow this precedent and suspend the Israeli FA. Please sign and share. Many thanks. https://change.org/en-GB/petitions/fifa-suspend-the-israeli-football-association-s-fifa-membership
