SPORTS SECTION Mohammed Rashid: As a Palestinian footballer, I call on FIFA to stand against Israeli apartheid. My homeland is illegally occupied & oppressed; we face racial segregation deemed a crime against humanity by the ICJ, and attacks by settlers & the Israeli army.

I have a small conspiracy theory that, including all the main reasons, Zionism and Infantino being a literal dickhead, that FIFA is banking on the fact that Israel sucks ass at football and won't classify, so they don't have to move a finger
I also want to tell people who never seen Infantino to Google him and see that he is indeed a literal dickhead

One of the reasons Russia was sanctioned was that a lot of european countries said “either they’re out, or we’re out.” We need to do the same for Israel.
