  1. Germany will do everything to keep Israel in, so chances are pretty good that Israel gets their way. 

  3. Someone claiming this is antisemitism instead of antizionism in 3, 2, 1…

  4. Qatar pretty much fund football, they really thought everything would go fine by doing what they did it looks like.

  7. They are a pariah state, and should be given no peace or quarter

  8. They shouldn’t be in it in the first place, but since they are their actions should have gotten them expelled long ago, with all the racist bs their clubs and hooligans have done, they have no place in European Football (or any association).

  10. Why are they playing European Football in the first place? I get they are a European colony, but sounds weird anyway.

  11. Why they weren’t expelled much sooner is the real question.

  12. I didn’t know Israel was in Europe, you learn something new everyday!

  13. I can’t believe they’ve presented this in the article as if it is entirely driven by Qatar. Well, I can, it’s totally unsurprising from the times of Israel, but you get what I mean.

    I actually don’t know if Qatar are pushing for this although I could believe it, but this is clearly being pushed by many UEFA members, multiple nations have asked not to play against Israel, Spain in particular have been very vocal and even said they’ll boycott the world cup if Israel qualified. 

  14. Why is an Asian country playing European football in the first place?

  15. I don’t understand why they’re part of it in the first place – they aren’t European.

  16. “Scrambling” can be read as bribes and threats behind the scenes.

  18. Turkey is the world champion of genocides, they’ve been currently occupying Cyprus for 50 years, and they’re still in UEFA. They should be expelled

  20. They aren’t European so why were they in it to begin with?

  21. The “middle east’s only democracy” doing a lot to stop a democratic decision at UEFA…

  23. Personally, I think Israël shouldbe banned from European football. However, Qatar should play no part in this decision. Them trying to buy football through the world cup and PSG is disgusting as well. We should ban both Israël and Qatar while we’re at it.

  24. They are not even geographically in Europe, why are they allowed to participate?

  25. “Red card for Israel ” –  it may be a good slogan for boycott Israel everywhere .

  26. Beitar Jerusalem Ultras are some of the most racist fans in the world

  27. International participation was promised 3000 years ago
