They boycotted the minute of silence before the game for the victims of the floods in Valencia (something that as a Spaniard I thank the organizers for). You should kick them out of the country as soon as possible, I don't even know what they are doing competing in Europe, they are an Asian country, they should try to play with their neighbors
It is a bit strange that they're allowed to compete in Europe. I get why it is the way it is but you'd think that they would compete in the Asian stuff. Also, I don't get why an active aggressor still gets to continue doing stuff like this. Russia is being banned but not Isreal?
The hypocrisy of Israel's actions being consistently covered up by its allies is going to cost us dearly in credibility and influence in the future, especially when compared to the demands made on other countries, like cutting ties with Russia.
They’ve killed half their neighbors.
Yes, well, they can always play against the other half, if they lose they invade them alleging anti-Semitism and that's it, all advantages
No Middle Eastern team, self-respecting or not, would play against an Israeli team.
Does it seem strange to you?
Nope. As a Middle Eastern guy it was and still is literally unthinkable.
