> We the undersigned urge the Football Association (FA), the Union of
> European Football Association (UEFA) and the International Federation
> of Association Football (FIFA) to take appropriate measures to ban the
> national Israeli football team from all international fixtures until
> the state of Israel entirely complies with International Law and
> relevant United Nations resolutions to end Israeli occupation.
>
> For the past 60 years, Israel has been destroying Palestinian lives,
> livelihoods and homes daily, is refusing to stop the building of
> illegal settlements and the apartheid wall on stolen land.
>
> Palestinians love football but both amateur and professional players
> and the Palestinian Football Association are unable to function fully
> because of the occupation. Children have been killed and injured by
> the Israeli army while playing football. International and national
> football organizations must take action to support the Palestinians
> right and ability to participate at every level of the game.
>
> We believe that, like the sporting boycott against Apartheid South
> Africa, only international pressure can make Israel end its violations
> of international Law and human rights towards the Palestinian people
> to bring about a just and lasting peace to the Middle-East.
>
> (This petition will be brought to the attention of the FA, UEFA and
> FIFA ahead of the England - Israel Euro qualifier on 8th September
