Het zal je niet ontgaan zijn: het EK voetbal onder de 21 jaar vindt dit jaar plaats in Israel. Deze keuze heeft internationaal tot protesten geleid. Tijd voor actie dus.
Op woensdag 15 mei vindt de finale van de UEFA-cup plaats in Amsterdam.
Goede gelegenheid om onze stem te laten horen: zeg NEE tegen EK in Israel.

Red Card For Israeli Racism

This summer, the European Championship for players under 21 will take place.
Unfortunately, UEFA has chosen Israel as the venue for this important
tournament.

This choice has led to international protests because of the involvement of
Israel in the systematic violation of basic rights of the Palestinian people
and Palestinian footballers. The Israeli government systematically violates
international law. The United Nations has qualified the Israeli system as
Apartheid.

Such institutionalized racism is unacceptable and does not fit in Europe!
Israel does not deserve the honor to host the UEFA competition.

WHAT DID KNOWN ATHLETES DO?

Palestinian sports organizations and prominent athletes have publicly spoken
out against Israel as a location for the championship. Leading players like
Frederic Kanoute, Eden Hazard Chelsea, Abou Diaby from Arsenal and five
players from Newcastle Papiss Cissé, Cheick Tiote, Sylvain Marveaux, Yohan
Cabaye and Demba Ba, have launched a call to remove the championship from
Israel.
