Only democracy in the Middle East btw
Question for Israelis : is it really possible or is he just speaking blindly like many politicians?
There’s no mention of the minister in the article you linked?
Ben-Gvir is a right-wing populist dipshit who’s unfortunately part of the government, but nothing will ever come of it. If anything, I blame the club for not telling the foreign players in advance what the banner is about. “Bring them home now” is as uncontroversial as a statement in this time can be, I doubt anybody would have objected to endorsing it.
Or you could just be allowed to play the sport and do your job without being sucked into a fascist propaganda machine used to try and justify genocide.
Genuine question - why would they not support that banner? You can be rightfully critical of what Israel is doing in Gaza and still believe that innocent hostages deserve to return safely
Lol why is this downvoted
Because any comment that isn’t “Israel bad” is immediately downvoted
I take the same position on this as rainbow armbands and pre-match anti-racism statements: Nobody should be forced to show their support for any cause and any lack of endorsement should not be taken as support for any opposing position. This is not only the fundamental right of any individual in a free society but also coercing support from all players only devalues the genuine endorsement from those who do support the cause.
If Gvir wasn’t so hellbent on protecting his voters in the West Bank maybe they’d have been more protection for the innocent Kibbutzim on Oct 7th.
These horrible bastards are on borrowed time and they know it.
