New Israel Fund partners with Israel Football Assoc. on racism/IFA segregates Israel youth league
http://mondoweiss.net/2014/11/football-association-segregatesThe New Israel Fund (NIF) has partnered with The Israel Football Association (IFA) to form a new campaign called “Kick Racism Out of Israeli Football“. The campaign was announced through the video “We’re all equal – we’re all one team”, that was released October 28, 2014, to “promote Israel’s national soccer teams (men, women, and youth) as a shining examples of equality, tolerance and coexistence.” The video is engaging and stars two children and a gaggle of notable Israeli football players.
However, back in reality, during the initial stages of this new partnership, and likely during the same timeframe this lovely video was produced, the IFA chose to segregate the Israeli children’s national football league in Israel’s Triangle area which is home to the majority of Israel’s Palestinian citizens.
Seriously, we don’t make this stuff up.
