    And why the fuck are they in the Europa league

    Because it wouldn’t be safe for the Israeli teams to play against teams from all the neighboring nations that rightfully despise the actions of their government.

    They could stop murdering innocent people all the time, but losing to European teams instead of ones from the middle east is easier and more profitable.

    And why are they in the European Song Contest?

    In a word? Corruption. In two words: BLATANT corruption.

      Become a good neighbor? Nah, I’ll go play with my friends in another neighborhood and be an ass to them as well.

      Well, looks like it’s not safe for them to play against European teams now too. What a shame.

        On the one hand, innocent athletes and fans shouldn’t be punished for the actions of the government.

        On the other hand, though, odds are that almost all of them support the atrocities or have actively contributed to them up to and including murdering, raping, and torturing innocent civilians. So fuck em.
