A mild, late, spineless stand. But a stand. It makes me wonder how much longer this can go on before governments realise people are fed up of this.

Basic humanity is caring about all people - including hostages.

Yes indeed, caring about people equally, not believing that some lives are worth more

Israel are killing children.

Children have died in every war in history sadly and horrifically.

Children are dying right now in other wars.

Hamas started this war, then hides among civilians and children as a tactic to save themselves and refuses to surrender. It wants the death of Palestinian children to create outrage at Israel.

The IDF has taken more steps to avoid civilian casualties than any other army in history.

Imagine if the death toll if they hadn’t with Hamas’s documented use of human shields, which is also unprecedented for any government, especially one which started a war they knew they could not win so it’s own citizens and their children could be used in this way.

Hamas knew exactly what they were doing and still do.

It is evil beyond comparison.

Wrong.

Many of us object to UEFA becoming political and abusing their platform to do so.

Completely unacceptable.

What you mean is that you object to UEFA saying that the Israeli government should stop killing kids and civilians. Not ‘becoming political’ but expressing an opinion you dislike

Is it? Today it's stop killing kids, tomorrow it might be what?! End world hunger maybe or save the rainforests?

Yes, it is when you're being bank rolled by rich arabs.

Is it politics to stay ‘stop killing children’ or basic humanity?

Basic humanity is caring about all people - including hostages.

UEFA have absolutely no place taking a political stance.

It’s a slippery slope.

Zionism is the commitment to creating a Jewish state in Palestine.

😆 🤣

What a shameful thing to say.

There is no analogy to draw, and you know it.

What? The poster im responding to stated that “poppies aren’t allowed in stadiums”, which is absolutely wrong.

If they admitted that they find the message “stop killing children” to be offensive because they want to see the total destruction of Gaza.

No I don’t think that’s right

Poppies are allowed on kits.

I always think that there’s no way these threads will descend into chaos. But we now have people trying to say that “stop killing children” was a bad thing to say.

Wrong.

I’d have a lot more respect for Zionists if they were just truthful about their beliefs.

I am aware, but again, UEFA have no place in taking a stance.

I rather suspect there will be significant internal fallout from this stunt.
