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.

Like Bono, Madonna and Geldof. Its too little too late.

It's only because Mo Salah shamed them into it

Very proud to be a Liverpool fan when he posted that. It’s shameful. All talk, but they won’t kick Israel out

I thought it was perfect to say. Simple and to the point.

Thought this was so sad when I read this about Suleiman who was killed while looking for food .

"His wife said the ordeal of joining the queues for food handouts was humiliating for Suleiman, given his past as a celebrated sportsman in Palestine.

“He was ashamed to go there. He even wore a cap to hide his face so no one would recognise him,” Doaa said."

It's easy to forget the emotional and mental trauma.

Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. There just aren’t the words anymore.

He did it to feed his children along with lawyers, teachers , doctors and the rest and was murdered for doing so.
RIP

And UEFA have no balls once again they don't mention whose actually killing the children .

Exactly.

It's almost getting to the point now where everyone was against it all along. I don't know who they think they are kidding at this point.

Too little too late from UEFA, they don't even have the balls to say who's killing these children and civilians. Honestly, fuck them, they can stick this miniscule gesture where the sun doesn't sign.

I've always held Liverpool the club on high regard, they didn't fold like Arsenal did (Arsenal sacked a Kit Man for supporting Palestine).

You still can't buy the Sun newspaper in Liverpool today 35+ years after Hillsborough, this is old school sticking to a moral compass and admirable.

I suppose that message stands about October 7th and the rockets Hamas fire towards Israel. As long as it's a message aimed at both warring parties it stands.

Anyway Israel haven't been banned from any football competitions which is a good thing as I don't like port getting to involved with politics.

Sport is inherently political

No Israeli sports teams have been banned which is fair. Maybe sport is making a political statment in Israel's inclusion?

You don’t think sport should have anything to do with politics? I don’t know how old you are but apartheid South Africa were rightly banned from pretty much all international sporting events including the Olympics. I’m guessing you think that was wrong?

Russia have been banned, thus Israel should be banned.

I can't see 'release the hostages' or 'fuck hamas' is there another banner?

The banner is clear. Stop killing civilian and children.

Again, I can't see 'release the hostages' or ''fuck hamas', can you? Maybe they'll release other banners later.

Why are you so upset by a message calling for the murder if children to stop?

I'm not upset by it I'm saying they should also call for the release of hostages?

Why?

@Gloriiathe message covers everyone. It’s very clear

Why wouldn’t you want that message

I think the message is clear. Stop killing civilians and stop killing children.

You said no to release the hostages. It’s a shame Hamas have very little pressure now wrt this.

I didn’t say no. I’m not UEFA. Surely the message targets both side?
