Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel
The article discusses Fifa's decision to ban Russia from international football due to the invasion of Ukraine, and calls for a similar action against Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. It highlights the apparent double standard, where Fifa and Uefa acted swiftly against Russia, but have been slow to address Israel's actions. The article argues that as Israel continues to inflict "untold misery on Palestinians," football's governing bodies should stand by the principles they claim to uphold and ban Israel from international competitions, just as they did with Russia. The author emphasizes the importance of holding Israel accountable for its actions, and questions whether Israel should be allowed to participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Norway.
