Sign the PSC Petition:  Kick Israeli Apartheid Out of
Football - Fair Play for the Palestinians 

 

http://www.palestinecampaign.org/petition.asp?PetitionID=4
  

We the undersigned urge the Football Association (FA),
the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) and
the International Federation of Association Football
(FIFA) to take appropriate measures to ban the
national Israeli football team from all international
fixtures until the state of Israel entirely complies
with International Law and relevant United Nations
resolutions to end Israeli occupation. 

For the past 60 years, Israel has been destroying
Palestinian lives, livelihoods and homes daily, is
refusing to stop the building of illegal settlements
and the apartheid wall on stolen land. 

Palestinians love football but both amateur and
professional players and the Palestinian Football
Association are unable to function fully because of
the occupation. Children have been killed and injured
by the Israeli army while playing football.
International and national football organizations must
take action to support the Palestinians right and
ability to participate at every level of the game. 

We believe that, like the sporting boycott against
Apartheid South Africa, only international pressure
can make Israel end its violations of international
Law and human rights towards the Palestinian people to
bring about a just and lasting peace to the
Middle-East. 

(This petition will be brought to the attention of the
FA, UEFA and FIFA ahead of the England - Israel Euro
qualifier on 8th September 2007)
