Israel: "keep politics out of football"

Israel:

Are they all brought up to think they're untouchable or something?

Stuff like this, how Israeli tourists act abroad, how the Rep Aviv Maccabi fans act at matches.

Wonder what will have to happen to bring them down a peg or three

Actually, removing the corner flag is a bookable offence, and that was his second booking therefore a mandatory red card. It had bothing to do with the gesture itself, which was indeed vulgar and repugnant, and he should receive a lengthy ban for that alone.

An entire nation of scumbags. Why do we let a middle eastern nation play in UEFA anyway? Israel gets special treatment while Ireland who asked to be separated from Israel in future draws due to their opposition to genocide get told there is nothing they can do.

The civilised world needs to stop trade and travel to these genocidal disgusting excuses for human beings.

Not surprised. There were probably children in the crowd.

I assumed finger guns and thought this was ridiculous. Using a flag as a prop is just poor sportsmanship though.
