Obviously, but usually when governments controvene International law they get suspended by FIFA.
They say they aren't and most of the major Western countries seem happy to just accept their word on that. Whilst that remains the case there's little FIFA or UEFA can do.Obviously, but usually when governments controvene International law they get suspended by FIFA.
Not Israel though.
Palestine are bothered enough too, even if you aren't.
‘Why is FIFA silent?’: Outraged Palestinians call for Israel football ban

Russia didn't/don't think they are/were doing anything wrong either, they swiftly got banned.
They held the biggest tournament in the World after they'd invaded Crimea
Well banning them from international football would raise the profile of what they're doing, even it was 5% more, that can only be a good thing.
It's only taken 35,000 deaths.Israel isolated as UN security council demands immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Israeli PM cancels White House visit by two ministers and says US ‘abandoned its policy in the UN’ after abstaining on votewww.theguardian.com
US abstaining! Things must be bad.
Late to the party, but given gun control here, us acting over 35,000 deaths seem uncharacteristically charitable.
The US has created a monster, and now it's out of control. Not for the first time.Gaza ceasefire hopes ‘drowned out’ by Israel’s non-stop bombing
Israel ignores UN resolution demanding an immediate truce with dozens of Palestinians killed in ongoing bombardment.
The U.S. is the monster
Actually, IMO the US is the head of the monster. The monster is the economic system that breeds greed, corruption and imperialism, that allows billions of people to live in abject poverty, that allows a handful of people to have more wealth than the majority of the world's population combined, that continues to push for 'growth, growth, growth' even when that growth is ultimately leading to the self-destruction of the planet we live on. What Israel is doing in Gaza is a symptom of that economic system.
I don't totally disagree, who could? But I suppose when we say 'the U.S.' we mean a fairly small group of individuals. These individuals have no allegiance to the U.S. or the U.K. or the E.U. etc imo. They would happily wipe out huge swathes of their own populations besides anyone elses if it served their purpose. Their only allegiance is to themselves and their power and wealth.
Oh, I can think of a few million folks...
