Pro-Palestinians want Israel kicked out of FIFA
‘Pro-Palestinians have staged a rally in the Swiss city of Zurich to call on football’s governing body, FIFA, to expel Israel from world soccer tournaments.
On Thursday, the protesters gathered outside the venue for the 65th FIFA Congress, waved pro-Palestine banners and flags, and shouted, “We want justice! We want freedom!” and “Free, free Palestine!” as delegates turned up for the event.
“We gathered here today to call for the expulsion of Israel from FIFA, because of Israel’s Zionist and racist policies towards the Palestinian people,” a pro-Palestinian demonstrator, identified only by his first name, Ahmed, said.’
