Home > Show Israel the red card
Dear friends,
We invite you to participate in the international campaign "Show Israel the red card" in order to say no to Israel hosting the next European football competition for under 21 that is planned to take place in June 2013.
We have just issued a booklet (48 pages, 11 x17 cm) about the situation inflicted by Israel to Palestinian sportsmen, and Palestinian youth in general,
who are abducted, tortured and imprisoned. This booklet (with many pictures) answers the question:
"Is it right to mix Sports and Politics ?".
It is in French but if you are interested in an English, Spanish or Arabic version, please contact us.
If you need to get one sample of this brochure please contact info ocK europalestine.com
We recommend that we all contact as many youth as possible in sports clubs in our respective cities and bring them evidence that Israel is not a nice democratic and civilized state but a racist and cruel one which can’t decently welcome young athletes. The latter must be aware of the actual situation and the necessity to act against Israeli apartheid as was done during South african apartheid. Solidarity should mean something when sport is involved.
We also produced this little show which is easy to play in the streets, and that is called "Football match, the Israeli way" :

Welcome to Palestine back home !
Please read this report (and watch the photos) about the incredible week we’ve just spent in Jordan with the Palestinian population after being prevented by Israel from entering the Westbank through Allenby bridge :
