<< comment >> "Israel’s defense minister just said it will occupy Southern Lebanon and prevent 600,000 people from returning home. Even more horrifying he says Israel will demolish their homes just like they did in Gaza. This is blatant colonialism & land theft & it is being funded by the US." <<

Fifa ‘negeert schaamteloos internationaal recht’

Mensenrechtenorganisaties hebben het besluit van de Fifa om niks te doen flink gekraakt. Fairsquare noemde de houding van de bond in deze kwestie ‘vanaf het eerste moment laf en niet oprecht’. Steve Cockburn, plaatsvervangend directeur van Amnesty International, zei dat de Fifa “faalt in het handhaven van zijn eigen reglementen en het internationaal recht op schaamteloze wijze negeert”.

Niet alleen Fairsquare en Amnesty stellen dat het klip-en-klaar is dat de Westelijke Jordaanoever Palestijns grondgebied is. Vorig jaar schreef een groep prominente academici, historici en juristen, onder wie hoogleraren internationaal recht, al een brief aan de Fifa over wedstrijden in Israëlische nederzettingen op de Jordaanoever. Volgens de ondertekenaars, onder wie ook Israëliërs, was er sprake van een illegale bezetting door Israël.

En dus hoefde de Fifa zich volgens hen helemaal niet bezig te houden met de precieze juridische status van het gebied, maar met de vraag of Israëlische clubs in nederzettingen door zouden moeten gaan met het spelen van wedstrijden.

Fifa geeft de Palestijnse voetbalbond het nakijken in ruzie over Israëlische clubs op de Westoever

De Fifa gaat voetbalclubs in Israëlische nederzettingen op de Westelijke Jordaanoever niet uitsluiten van profcompetities. De Palestijnse voetbalbond vindt die clubs illegaal. De wereldvoetbalbond vindt de kwestie te ingewikkeld.

And this time around, Trump has plenty of support in Congress for overthrowing Cuba’s legitimate rulers. Only the war with Iran, he says, affects the timeline for dealing with Cuba. Should Trump fail to achieve any of his objectives in Iran, as now seems likely, he may be more determined than ever to seek a “win” in #Cuba . #USpoll #Iran #Colonialism #LandGrab #Venezuela #WarCriems #IllegalSanctions
