August 18 – Israeli fan banners at European Club Matches caused an increased conflict in political circles after the brother of an Israeli hostage was forbidden to bring signs that had his release in the qualifying round of the Conference League between Beitar Jerusalem and Riga.
On Thursday, Beitar played the home leg of their third qualifying round draw in the Romanian club Petrolul Ploiesti’s Iliy Oana Stadium.
The brother of Rom Braslavski, Amir, said that the decision to remove the banners was “hypocrisy”, the day after the administrative body had shown his own plate on the field when Tottenham Paris St-Germain in Udine, Italy, played an end to killing children and citizens.
The banners were reportedly: ‘bring back’; “I want my brother”; And “The voice of my brother’s blood shouts me from the tunnels – bring Rom and the rest of our hostages at home.”
Braslavski was quoted in Israeli media and said: “We demand that UEFA reverses this shameful decision and allow us to hold his flag and signs until he returns home alive and well.”
Jewish activists quickly condemned the incident and used the opportunity to prevent UEFA’s own banner in the Super Cup final with their own complaints.
A spokesperson for the campaign to anti -Semitism (CAA) reported by the Daily Telegraph, said: “Rom Braslavski has been imprisoned for almost two years by terrorists in circumstances intentionally intended to extend his suffering. To European football, Jewish lives are not important.
“UEFA did not say anything about the Jewish hostages that are held in barbaric imprisonment for almost two years, nor about the continuous attacks on Israeli civilians during this war by terrorists in Gaza and in the middle -east.
“But suddenly they have opted for a spursmatch – a club that is often associated with the Jewish community – to unravel a banner with the text ‘Stop to kill children – stopping the killing of civilians’. For centuries Europe has been the bloodhores in the blood labeled that Jews is clear that ‘the trope’.
“After two years without recognition of the Jewish children murdered, mutilated and traumatized by this war, the message is indeed clear. This selective indignation tells us everything about the double standard that still poisons the European discourse about Jews.”
UEFA’s banner neatly on the Zijstste WerDer political debate and did not identify Israel directly, and said it referred to all the wars that innocent citizens were killed, although the message to Israel was clear. The activists of Israel have, by making it about themselves, made it increasingly clear – the intention.
Criticism in Europe of human rights organizations is that UEFA should have mentioned Israel.
Damn if you do that, damn if you don’t.
In the meantime, Amir Braslavski’s brother remains in the tunnels in Gaza, because his imprisonment is used for deeper political points.
A UEFA statement said: “All clubs participating in European club competitions are required to serve all choreographies and banners intended for presentation in the stadium for previous assessment in advance. This was not paid on this occasion and, as usual in such cases, decisions are made by officers on the site in coordination with local authorities.”
