Historically, the sports boycott effectively sent a message to Apartheid South Africa that the international community did not accept her racist policies. The sports boycott tool can be used to send a message to Israel.
Most sports competitions sign up to the doctrine of ‘fair play’ yet they allow Israel to take part in these competitions despite the fact that Israel routinely continues to impede Palestinian sportsmen from the same participation. Sports boycott, like the cultural boycott exposes Israel’s violations on an international platform, preventing Israel’s efforts to falsely portray itself as a normal state.
Sign Petition to stop Israel hosting UEFA U21s 2013
Israel has been awarded the privilege to host the UEFA U21 Championship 2013. We would like you to sign the petition, which we will send to the President of UEFA, Mr Michel Platini to reverse its decision.
We, the undersigned ask UEFA to reverse its decision to grant Israel to host the UEFA U21 Championship 2013. Historically, the sports boycott effectively sent a message to Apartheid South Africa that the international community did not accept her racist policies. We would like UEFA to reverse its decision to send a message to Israel that civil society around the world does not accept its Apartheid policies and that it should end its illegal occupation of Palestine.
