Humanity strikes back. Belgium kick Israel in the balls.

Israel is a pariah state.

This is the second such banning in EU.

"Brussels’ decision follows a similar announcement by the city of Lodz in Poland on Monday, which also cited security concerns when saying it would not host games for the Israeli team Maccabi Haifa for its matches in the third-tier UEFA Europa Conference League."

‘EU capital’ refuses to host Belgium-Israel football match Brussels city authorities say the sporting event could provoke mass demonstrations over Gaza ‘EU capital’ refuses to host Belgium-Israel football match The city of Brussels, renowned as a major centre for the EU and NATO, has refused to host an upcoming Nations League match between Israel and Belgium in September due to a risk of demonstrations over the Gaza war, city authorities said on Wednesday. Belgium is in Group A2 of the UEFA Nations League along with France, Italy and Israel. The City of Brussels received a request from the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) to host a home match between Belgium and Israel on September 6. Brussels authorities have been in talks for months with the federal government, police forces, and the KBVB, to assess the possibility of hosting the match at the King Baudouin Stadium. On Wednesday, city authorities announced that “Given the dramatic situation in the Middle East, the Board of Mayor and Councilors of the City of Brussels considers it impossible to organize a high-risk match on its territory.” “The Red Devils’ matches have always been moments of unity and togetherness. The humanitarian and security situation in Gaza and its repercussions force the (city) to inform the URBSFA (Belgian Football Federation) that it is not possible to organize this match at the Stade Roi Baudouin,” Brussels’ first alderman Benoit Hellings stated. Anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations have repeatedly taken place in the Belgian capital since the start of the war in Gaza. The URBSFA said it would have accepted if the match at the King Baudouin Stadium took place behind closed doors, but deeply regretted that Brussels has refused to host the game at all.

The city of Louvain has reportedly already said it would not host the match either. A spokesman for the Israeli football federation, Shlomi Barzel, told AFP: “This is a matter concerning Belgium, it’s not our problem.” Brussels’ decision follows a similar announcement by the city of Lodz in Poland on Monday, which also cited security concerns when saying it would not host games for the Israeli team Maccabi Haifa for its matches in the third-tier UEFA Europa Conference League. Meanwhile, the world’s governing soccer body FIFA has been struggling to respond to a Palestinian proposal to suspend Israel from the competition. FIFA said it needed an expert analysis on whether Israel’s actions breach the governing body’s regulations. The organization has been accused of acting quickly to ban Russian teams from competitions over the Ukraine conflict.

AOC Joins Hamas

GAZA — Sources close to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez say that the former American congresswoman has joined the Palestinian Islamic political and military organization commonly known as Hamas.

In a statement released to the press, AOC said that she was joining Hamas due to the fact that she sees eye-to-eye with the group, "especially on issues of prime importance, like expanding the Palestinian state and wiping out Israel."

"Dear Diary," reads the publicly released part of AOC's statement. "I have decided to join Hamas today because they also hate the nation that claims to be Israel. While I am sad to leave my friends in the squad, I do think I can do more for the cause by moving to Gaza to help fight against the oppressive Jew dogs. To-Do: Buy a burkha, one of those extra-deadly bump stocks, and a 40-round assault rifle magazine clip. Oh, and a cute Palestinian flag scarf. I bet they'll all want to date me over there, just like here."

While AOC did not leave all her friends an address to send letters, Democrat congresswomen and "Squad" members Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib say they have heard Ocasio-Cortez is doing well. According to complaints from the region, a short recruit has been following various Hamas operatives around and asking them "irritatingly simple questions" such as, "What part of the gun do I hold to kill the genocidal Israeli oppressors?" and "Wait…you guys seriously don't like BBQ pulled-pork sandwiches?"

At publishing time, Ilhan Omar had dropped hints that she might like to go join AOC in fighting the Jews too, but only if her brother could come along as well.
