Unless or until Israel and Isareli club sides are suspended from competing on the world stage, it would be a simple and positive gesture on behalf of Cardiff City to withdraw from a (meaningless) friendly. 'Friendlies' such as this indirectly help to normalise and legitimise the behaviour of its government, in my opinion.

I do appreciate though that the whole sport/politics thing is a complex argument riven with contradictions

So what you're in fact saying is when there's Euro qualification at stake, then your principles aren't so strong but not so for a "meaningless friendly". Laughable really.
