Since when does turning your back like a moody teenager change the scoreline?😂😂
Israel’s kids battered Switzerland fair and square on the pitch.

If a few cry babies want to spin around in protest, be my guest! Israel couldn't care less. Too busy decimating Hamas terrorists. Lol

Funny
Why is Israel in a European fencing championship? I thought they were indigenous to the Middle East. They're middle-easterns Only if they want to steal lands.

Terrorists and their fans are hilarious. How’s any of this meant to stop Israel protecting itself? 😂

Protest all you like, turn your backs, throw a tantrum, whatever. It changes nothing. The Jewish people survived the Holocaust; you really think a bunch of internet whingers are gonna make a difference?

See why I tell you folks to read. 🤷🏼
But since you love to nitpick. Israel’s in UEFA, just like Turkey (mostly in Asia), Kazakhstan (Central Asia), and even Azerbaijan (Caucasus). Australia’s in Eurovision too! So why’s Israel the only one you’re whinging about?

And stop this ‘indigenous’ nonsense. Jews have been in Judea long before Islam existed. If fencing in Europe makes Israel ‘land thieves’, does Turkish kebabs in Berlin mean Erdogan’s colonising ?
Kerp crying about sports tournaments. Haha.

I've always wondered this as well.
Geographically Israel is in the Middle East.
Why is it always featured in Europe based/regional sporting events?
Can't it compete in Middle Eastern region sporting ?

They want to be regarded as Europeans but occupy "ancestral" land in Middle East.

Lol. What are you talking about? Cyprus is literally in Asia, yet they’re in UEFA. Armenia? Georgia? Both straddle Asia/Europe. But you folks don't screams ‘Why are they in Europe?!’ funny how Israel’s the only country that gets this nonsense. Almost like it’s not about geography for your kind!🤷🏼

Again, Jews have been in Israel since King David’s time(that’s 1,000 BCE). The Dead Sea Scrolls? Written in Hebrew. Are you aware that the Ottoman Empire(a Turkish Asian power) ruled the Middle East for approximately 400 years. Where’s your tears about their ‘ancestral’ claims? 🤷🏼

Lolz you want to compare Cyprus,Armenia geographic location with that of Israel?
For your information..Cyprus is in Southwestern Europe, Armenia is in Eastern Europe. See the similarities.. where in heck is Israel remotely Europe?
C'mon .remove your head from Zionist butthole.
Okay so in your argument, Lebanon can be considered European since it's geographically similar to Israel? Or is Israel just a one off thing?
Turks ruling the Middle East has no singular bearing wit the discussion at hand..Hell..Italy ruled Libya for decades, does it make it European?
Dead Sea scrolls? Where's the Dead Sea located? Europe?
We're talking about World Regions..
Israel sits firmly in the Middle East region..
Nothing can remove that ..
So why are they claiming European region status in sports?

Cyprus is literally in Asia(look at a map). It’s only politically linked to Europe. Same with Armenia, straddles Asia, but UEFA’s fine with it. Kazakhstan’s in Central Asia and UEFA too. Why’s Israel the only country you’re obsessed with? 😂😂
You are not trying to learn!🤦🏼🤦🏼
Lebanon’s in the Asian Football Confederation, just like Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Israel’s in UEFA because Arabs kicked them out of Asian leagues for being Jewish. https://www.dw.com/en/why-does-israel-play-in-european-football-competitions/a-70736846. Forgot that part?

Very funny how you’re happy to cry about Israel’s “European” status, but ignore that the Ottoman Turks (from Asia) colonised the Middle East for about 400 years. Where’s your rage about their “non-indigenous” rule? How does that make any sense?

Now, if Israel’s “Middle East” geography bars it from UEFA, why isn’t Turkey (95% or more in Asia) banned? Or Russia (mostly in Asia) allowed(was) in Eurovision?
Tell me something worth responding to this time around. 😂😂

Nigeria Christians would kiss and hug the terrorists Israelis for killing Muslims in Palestine.

Anywhere Muslims are being annihilated, wake them 2am in the morning, they will go and cheer.

Switzerland Ireland South Africa Russia Canada.....Thank you for standing with truth and justice. The end will justify the means.

These Europeans forming woke on top of terrorists matter are not wise at all.

Instead for them to cover their face in shame after Isreal has beaten them black and blue and learn from the boss how to deal with terrorists.

Israel is God's own nation. It doesn't matter whether other countries like it or not. The sooner they acknowledge it, the better for them.
