I'm the last person to defend Israel, but there's a time and a place. I wouldn't punish Celtic, but I don't applaud their fans here either.
Support for Palestine should be hidden when interacting with Israel? Seems like one side is a bit touchy and don't mind opressing another (yet again) to feel better about themselves.

I thought they were there to support their football club during a game of football. That's why I don't like this sort of thing.

As for Israel.. I don't think I'm blind to their mistakes. I also don't understand why they are allowed to compete in all sorts of European competitions ranging from football to Eurovison. We don't invite Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon or Syria either. It's debateable where exactly Europe ends, but it sure as hell ends a long way before Israel.

Might as well include fucking new Zealand in Europe too

The retards showing unsportsmanlinke behavior againt Israel in the Olympics. :sergio:

We would have to boycott and ban most countries in the world if we used the same objective lens.
If we used the same objective lens, Israeli teams would not be competing in the Champions League. Their national team would also not be able to qualify for the Euros. Israel sucks. They demand prefential treatment for just about anything. Fuck them.

You prove my point. Even Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia are part of UEFA, but no one complains about them.
I think ALL of them should play in the AFC, by the way.

That's because the countries you listed are in Europe. Or at least you could make the case they are.

Definitely wouldn't call Kazakhstan part of Europe, being on the far side of the Caspian Sea. The rest have that kind of Occident meets Orient thing going on. Kind of like a gateway between Asia and Europe. If I remember correctly, Tbilisi in Georgia was considered as such for a long time.

Btw., when UEFA accepted Israel into the organization, they took a political stance and opened Pandora's Box. Hypocrisy not allowing Palestinian flags at a game.

Israel does not belong in our competition and perhaps it would actually benefit them if they started dancing and kissing with their neighbours.
