Given the appalling situation in Israel/Palestine it is quite telling how the Football Association is making little or no effort to show the same kind of lightshow support for either country (but more so Israel) as they did for Chicken George, BLM, “No Room for Racism” and of course the Pride bunch.
Of these latter examples, the Wembley Arch was lit up in appropriate colours to fit the appropriate bit of virtue signalling. And to be fair they did show support for Ukraine by displaying their flag’s colours on the Arch.
But then the FA and the EPL went a stage further into the rather dangerous arena of politics by emphasising their steadfast approval for BLM with the “Bending of the Knee” symbolism before each game. The FA even said at the time (June 2020) that “We’ll continue to stand firm against all types of discrimination!”
Fast forward 3 years and we have over 1000 Jews brutally raped, tortured and murdered; along with a similar number of innocent Arabs. But the emphasis here is the apparent eradication of all Jews from their homeland once and for all.
This is anti-Semitism plain and simple. The most blatant form of discrimination out there along with racism. And yet the FA seem rather reluctant to stand behind those bellicose words of standing firm against “all types of discrimination”
Not only that but the many corporations in retail and business who went virtue-signalling crazy over BLM and Pride these last 2 or 3 years, have gone strangely silent over this apocalyptic scenario in Gaza. None of whom seem to showing much support for Jews, or if they are they’re keeping it under wraps.
Rabbi Alex Goldberg, chairman of the FA’s Faith Group, resigned in disgust at the FA’s lack of support for Jews and its “moral cowardice”.
I suppose in their defence, the FA wants to play this down for fear of reprisals from Hamas, ISIS, Hezbollah or any other major Middle-Eastern terrorist organisation hell-bent on the destruction of Israel and to those who dare show support for it. What the FA doesn’t want is blood on its hands – literally – should there be a bomb explosion at a stadium killing hundreds!
This is what happens when corporations and sporting organisations grandstand on big virtue signalling bandwagons. They like to be “seen” to be right-on with whatever trendy new thing is doing the rounds, but when the shit hits the fan and they find themselves between a shit-covered rock and a shit-covered hard place, they go strangely silent, unwilling to commit, unwilling to support, unwilling to do anything other than to hope the problem will go away until the next bandwagon comes rolling along for these cunts to jump on.
These posturing arseholes have been called out for the colossal hypocrites that they really are!

I wonder if Lineker, Wright and Rio Ferdinand et al, will still keep banging on about black racism and the continued need to “bend the knee” at games?
How the fuck can they keep a straight face and believe that black lives are far more important than Jewish lives (or even Palestinian lives come to that)?
I hope the FA, the EPL, Sky and BBC get hammered if they continue to support the BLM and knee bending while thousands upon thousands of genuine Jewish victims are slaughtered, with what feels like full support from these sound organisations!

Theyre no being antisemitic, they dont hate Israel, the jews arent being expelled from the FA. Its just a symptom of the schizophrenic nature of identity politics. Their minds are broken.
Watched the Celtic vs Athletico match and they have all these Palestine flags everywhere in the stands, so i think arguably Scots have the worst of it
