The mayor of the Belgian city of Leuven, Mohamed Ridouani, has barred the UEFA Europa League match between Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise and Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva from being hosted in his city, citing public safety concerns. 

Ridouani stated that the city would not permit the fixture to proceed (even behind closed doors in an empty stadium) noting that the decision aligns with his previous opposition to hosting matches involving Israeli teams in the city. Ridouani said his position was consistent with not allowing Belgium’s national teams play games against Israel in Leuven.

This is pure racism and discrimination and it is unacceptable. A mayor should not be allowed bar a team from competing simply because of his bias and hate towards a specific country. The Union of European Football Associations must intervene immediately.

Hostile Polish fans booed the Israeli national anthem during the EuroBasket game between Poland and Israel, with reports of Palestinian flags being waved in the stands and whistles drowning out “Hatikvah.”

It is deeply disturbing to see such poor sportsmanship like this. Targeting a national team simply because they are Israeli is blatant discrimination based on national origin.

Northern Irish actor Gerard McCarthy has withdrawn from a London theatre production because he was uncomfortable working alongside Dame Maureen Lipman, one of Britain’s most prominent Jewish actresses, over her outspoken support for Israel.

Let’s call this what it is: bigotry. Singling out a Jewish actress because she refuses to abandon Israel is discriminatory, intolerant, and exactly the kind of ideological exclusion that has no place in the arts.
