| Yesterday, 17-year-old Palestinian National Youth Team player Fadi al-Naasan succumbed to his wounds after an illegal Israeli settler attacked in the occupied Palestinian West Bank last week. He is the 1013th Palestinian sportsperson to be killed by Israel since the start of its genocide. As millions watched the Egypt v Argentina, genocidal Israel killed Mohammed Al-Wuhaidi, who had organized World Cup screenings under impossible circumstances for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. As Brazil played Japan, Israel assassinated Saleem Al-Ashqar, Palestinian goalkeeper for Khadamat Khan Younis while returning to his home in Gaza. Trump’s World Cup subjected some teams and players to degrading searches, hours-long interrogations and denied or delayed visas based on racist policies. Corrupt FIFA and its president Infantino awarded Trump a “Peace Prize” while genocidal Israel is wiping Gaza off the map with US weapons and support, and following US aggression against the peoples of Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. FIFA is complicit in sportswashing the crimes of the Israeli-US genocidal axis and its might-makes-right order. Reebok is the proud sponsor of Israeli apartheid. |
| Let’s shine a light on FIFA’s complicity in sportswashing the crimes of the Israeli-US genocidal axis and its might-makes-right order and join the call to Boycott Reebok, proud sponsor of Israeli apartheid. FIFA will only sanction Israel and Reebok will only end its sponsorship if we make them. #DisruptFIFA #BoycottReebok » See sample tweets/posts and graphics.
