Dear FIFA Decision Makers,
Cairo, Egypt—Please accept this concise argument and voice in support of the Palestinian request to suspend the Israeli Football Association in the face of the present of its inappropriate situation and indecent conditions in imposing its inhumane restrictions on the movement of Palestinian players, athletes, as well as the entire Palestinian population as a whole.
Given the undeniable fact of the barbaric treatment the Israeli Government is exercising to humiliate the decent Palestinian individual on a daily basis since its occupation of Palestine in 1948, the legitimate request submitted by the PFA to have Israel suspended from FIFA will be the least expecting measure to send the proper and strong message to the most brutal and oppressive occupying colonial power the world has ever witnessed in modern time. The undisputed war crimes committed by Israel in burying alive the innocent Palestinian infants and children underneath the rubble everywhere in Gaza Strip speak for themselves. The world football’s governing body (FIFA) cannot and must not turn a blind eye to this unbearable, unforgettable and unforgivable massacre against all humanity.
In essence, the FIFA has adopted the zero tolerance policy against the immoral (cancer) of racism all over the world and the law should include Israel. The FIFA shall not tolerate nor bend its principle to appease or reward Israel’s unbearable racism and oppression against the Palestinian People and players in all sports under its pretext of security.
With that in mind, the Israeli Football Association should be suspended within the sound discretion of the FIFA in order to restore the world confidence and trust in this most prestigious sporting organization.
Thank you.
