>> The refusal of international and continental sports federations to suspend Israel’s membership, 22 months after its perpetration of genocide in the Gaza Strip, constitutes a blatant violation of the values and principles they claim to uphold. It reflects a selective, double-standard application of the rules governing the participation of states, clubs, and individuals in international and continental competitions …

>> The normalisation by sports federations of the participation of representatives of a state committing genocide is not only a legal violation but also an unprecedented moral failure.

Strange how sports organisations divested themselves from South Africa in opposition against the apartheid state.

What's the difference here, I wonder 🤔.

Aha! Got it! South Africa...no zionist influences.

The depth of zionist control, globally, is absolutely what this is.
