Park Life 71 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) A group of Premier League footballers and players in other major European leagues have condemned plans to hold the Under-21 European championship in Israel next year, saying it will be seen as a "reward" for this month's assault on Gaza in which young people playing football were killed when a sports stadium was bombed. The signatories, who include Eden Hazard of Chelsea, Abou Diaby of Arsenal and five Newcastle players – Papiss Cissé, Cheick Tioté, Sylvain Marveaux, Yohan Cabaye and Demba Ba – also criticised Israel's continued detention without charge or trial of two Palestinian footballers. Several former Premier League players have also signed the letter, including Didier Drogba and Frédéric Kanouté, both of whom now play in China. Players with QPR, Stoke, Blackburn and Ipswich are among the signatories along with footballers in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. Well played. http://www.guardian....pionship-israel Edited December 1, 2012 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Retweeted Demba's support for Gaza a couple of weeks back. Clearly a good lad with a bit more common than your average player. Notsurprised Simpson didn't go close to it for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Meanwhile, G4S, a British security firm, has been heavily criticized for its cooperation with the Israeli regime, which ranges from providing equipment and services to Israeli checkpoints, illegal settlements, the apartheid wall and jails where Palestinian prisoners are held and tortured without trial.
