    I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.

    It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.

    I hate it too. But I am not my government.

      You don’t go around calling people out for it though. You agree with them that Trump is a jerk and that you didn’t want him to become a president. This is different. The Israeli team called the Irish team antisemitic because they don’t like what Israel is doing. The truth though is that it has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the genocide that Israel is inflicting on Palestine

      It might suck, but yeah we kinda deserved to be excluded from the world stage for allowing trump to be president. Anyone that is willing to represent Israel/Russia/Saudi Arabia right now is kinda a piece of shit.

        Russia is far, far superior to any of these, with USA and Israel being at the bottom of barrel. No need to slip in that Democrat anti-Russian propaganda, we know you love Genocide Joe/Hillary/Pelosi types.

          I have no clue what you’re talking about.

          Russia and Israel are the exact same as far as I’m concerned. They’re both state sponsors of terrorism, and their entire government should be replaced with their heads being executed for war crimes.

          Saudi Arabia is not just a state sponsor of terrorism, but a full blown terrorist state.

            We will start with USA government being executed and replaced first. No other government will need to be touched. And Russia is an anti-terrorist state, not what you claim it to be.

      The Israel players spent time taking photos with IOF soldiers.

      Maybe it is wrong to assume complicity of individuals in their governments actions, maybe it isn’t, but you don’t need to make any assumptions here.

      Both Israel and the US have representative democracies. Views of the government are the views of the people.

        But with just some VERY MINOR tweaks to the system, the “views of the people” would be very different. In the US, the system is OPENLY engineered to preserve existing power structures, in ways that have accumulated over the decades (Jerrymandering, Electoral College and First Past The Post all add up…)
