Dany, Right now, 710,000 people are calling for Israel to be kicked out of the World Cup. And something is shifting: after protests at Spain's cycling tour and boycott calls at Eurovision, football is next on the line.No country committing genocide should expect to play on the world stage. Sign to hit 1 million signatures before next week's Ballon d'Or Ceremony -- the biggest event for football fans off the pitch. Our team is gearing up to press FIFA and UEFA leaders to finally take responsibility. Can you help? Israel out of the World Cup Here's an email we sent earlier with some more information: Right now Israel is starving 470,000 Palestinians, and moving in troops to occupy Gaza… And yet, FIFA is rolling out the red carpet and welcoming Israel to participate in the World Cup. But a brave group of Italian football coaches are taking a stand - join them and call on FIFA to suspend Israel from the World Cup now, before September 8! Over 55,000 Palestinians have been killed within two years - families, babies, and the equivalent of entire teams of athletes erased. Yet FIFA continues to roll out the red carpet for Israel. But now, just a week before Italy faces Israel in a World Cup qualifier, a group of Italian football coaches are taking a stand: demanding that FIFA and UEFA suspend Israel from the tournament. A ban like this would isolate Israel while they kill innocents and send a clear message: no country committing genocide can expect to play on the world stage. When Russia invaded Ukraine, FIFA banned Russia within days. Why the double standard when it comes to Israel's war crimes? With millions of voices behind the Italian coaches, FIFA will have no choice but to act:

Some are notorious for racism against Palestinian people.
On September 8, Italy is set to face Israel in Hungary. If the world rallies now, we can push FIFA to act and ban Israel from the World Cup. | | | | People power works. Even Netanyahu admitted that Germany halted arms exports last month because of public pressure.
Whether it's football or politics: no country committing genocide should ever be given the red carpet treatment. Together, let's get FIFA & UEFA to take a stand.
