Roger Wade, founder of @Boxfresh, has been banned from Brighton & Hove Albion for 5 games for wearing a Palestine football kit.
A ST holder for 10 years, he was pulled out mid-game with no explanation. Instead of dialogue, the club sent him a ban letter.

Back in October, many of us reported to Brighton, @FA, and @kickitout that former footballer & academy mentor Tomer Hemed was inciting violence against Palestinians online, even posting photos with soldiers in the midst of the genocide.
“Human animals are not human!!! Monsters ! Let them die a death of suffering!”
This is what Tomer Hemed, former Israeli footballer & current Brighton Academy mentor had to say about Palestinians facing a genocide. No action was taken.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
Oh of course Brighton is owned by Jews so no surprise here. The question is shouldn't football authorities have the power to censure the club and reverse this troubling whim?Originally posted by jon1959 View PostComment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
I don't agree it has anything to do with Tony Bloom's religion or heritage.Originally posted by Dorcus View Post
I do think it has a lot (everything?) to do with his advocacy of Israel, its ideology and his apparent willingness (through club employees) to shut down defenders of Palestine and Palestinians.... and excuse apologists and advocates for war crimes!
I know many anti Zionist Jewish people who wear Palestine and Palestinian shirts - and other symbols or emblems - who would be treated the same way as Roger Wade.
I used to like Tony Bloom for his performances on Friday Night Poker and for the way he ran and developed Brighton as a football club. That admiration is very tarnished now.Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
The US says it will deny or revoke visas for Palestinian officials wishing to travel to New York next month to attend the UN General Assembly session.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio blamed them for undermining peace efforts and for seeking "the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state".
The decision is unusual - the US, as host country, is expected to facilitate travel for officials of all countries wishing to visit the UN headquarters.
The ban comes as France spearheads international efforts to recognise a state of Palestine at the GA session. Donald Trump's administration has fully backed Israel in voicing opposition to such a move.
The USA and Israel - two cheeks of the same arse!Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
In a special session of the UN Security Council, the 15 members, with the exception of the United States, called for an immediate end to the worsening famine in the Gaza Strip, a halt to the war, and a reversal of Israel’s plan to expand its military operations within the Strip.
In a joint statement issued on Wednesday evening, 14 countries expressed “deep concern” about the humanitarian situation, stressing that the famine officially declared by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip is not a natural disaster but a “man-made crisis.” The countries condemned “the use of starvation as a weapon of war,” considering it a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
The statement stressed the need for an immediate, permanent, and unconditional ceasefire, the release of all prisoners, and the urgent flow of humanitarian aid. It also called on Israel to lift all restrictions on the entry of aid and to reverse its military decision to take control of Gaza City.
In contrast, the United States was the only country that refused to join the statement, with its ambassador to the United Nations, Dorothy Shea, rejecting what she described as “the lie of starvation policy” and criticizing the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report, claiming that it “failed the test.”
Last Friday, the UN report confirmed that famine has become a reality in the Gaza Strip, affecting more than half a million people, with warnings that it could spread to Deir al-Balah and Khan Yunis in the coming weeks.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
The United States has suspended visa approvals for nearly everyone who holds a Palestinian passport, the New York Times reported on Sunday.
The restrictions go beyond those Donald Trump’s administration had previously announced on visitors from Gaza. They would prevent Palestinians from traveling to the United States for medical treatment, attending college and business travel, the newspaper reported, citing unidentified officials.Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.
The Washington Post published on Sunday a leaked prospectus for the plan, which would see the forced displacement of Gaza’s entire population of 2 million people, and put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade.
Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust – or GREAT – the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.
Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls “temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population” – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
At least nine people, including five children, have been killed in an Israeli strike while fetching water in al-Mawasi, an area of southern Gaza which Israel has designated as a safe zone, health officials said.
A doctor from al-Nasser hospital shared a picture of the children’s bodies in the hospital, as well as a picture of water jugs left in a pool of blood at the site of the attack on Tuesday.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
Given that Villa supposedly have a home draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League, they would be insane to have it in Birmingham after the incident in Amsterdam last year. So do they host it in Hungary again and punish Villa by being unable to play in front of their home stadium fans?
I think Villa fans should mass protest Tel Aviv's inclusion in the tournament, they'd get a lot of support from other clubs on this front.Comment
