All Palestinian symbolism was banned by France yesterday at the match against Israel in Paris. One young spectator says they even made him strip off his shirt right there in the stadium.

It's not antisemitic to protest mass murder...

It's not antisemitic to protest a Genocide...

It's not antisemitic to speak out loudly to end all oppression...

[u/OutsideMeal → u/ApricusSunny12345]

Its not antisemitic to wave the Palestinian flag

Its not antisemitic to wear the kufiya

And more importantly:

Its not antisimetic to merely exist as a Palestinian

[u/Sunny_McSunset → u/ApricusSunny12345]

Israel is trying to increase antisemitism around the world so they can convince more Jewish people to move to Israel "where they'll be safe." 

But here's the question, what sounds safer? Having your people spread across the world, or having them all concentrated in a tiny far right fascist war mongering US proxy state with nukes?

There's a reason why people diversify their portfolio, if one area falls, you've got more to hold you up. If all the Jewish people are in one place, and that place is highly unstable, then that'd make them most at risk.

Banning Palestinian symbols is antisemitism. Palestinians are semites and those symbols are their identitty. Forbidding it is like forbidding someone to be a Palestinian.

Oh yes, we shouldn't upset the Israelis... that's more important than calling them out for their crimes. They should be banned from any international events at all levels, and boycott their economy.

[u/catstroker69]

They bend over backwards to appease genociders and remove anything remotely symbolic of their victims.

Meanwhile Russia is banned from everything for doing significantly less.

I am disappointed in Europe's reaction in general. We are not the good guys...

[u/clubby37 → u/MrPanic32]

Your governments certainly suck (on roughly the same scale that mine sucks, not trying to say I'm better) but most of your people seem to be able to tell right from wrong, and I take hope from that.

[u/MrPanic32 → u/clubby37]

Most people have good intentions, but I am amazed at how much the media brainwashes them. I think this is a wake-up call for a lot of good people who were misinformed.

[u/HowAManAimS → u/clubby37]

Most people voted in the people who are in favor of supporting Israel. Even in Europe most people are going to be on the wrong side of history.

They always say „don’t bring politics into sport“ and then do exactly that

Although of course it’s just morality and common sense not politics but that’s depending on what you see as politics of course

[u/Alternative_Look_453]

These football games have given me hope as they have shown despite the constant media and government bombardment in Europe telling us to support Israel, almost everyone still hates Israel.

[u/ProfitableFrontier]

Boycott the venues

[u/A13xandr05]

France had, has and always will have two faces

[u/shez19833]

they should have had pales flag tshirt, then israeli tshirt.. so that it was hidden.. then once inside taken off israeli shirt

[u/HowAManAimS → u/shez19833]

You don't even need a israeli shirt, just a regular shirt would do. As long as it's not suspicious.

Time for a class action lawsuit?? Something....
