Football is supposed to be a game that unites people. In Israel, it has become something darker: a stage for racism, militarism and propaganda. From the stands of Beitar Jerusalem to the ruins of Gaza, sport and politics have fused in ways that reveal the deep entanglement of football with the state’s project of settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing.
A new report by the Hind Rajab Foundation sets out in stark detail how Israeli soldiers and ultras deploy football culture to humiliate Palestinians, glorify destruction and normalise genocide.  The Hind Rajab Foundation is gravely concerned about a serious and imminent security threat against our Chairman, Mr. Dyab Abou Jahjah, and his family.
Credible information indicates that individuals linked to Israeli security networks active in Antwerp, and with possible connections to extremist organizations such as the Jewish Defense League, are involved in this threat. There are also concerns that such structures may be connected to official Israeli state bodies.  The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) strongly condemns the recent U.S. sanctions against the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), Al-Haq, and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights. These illegitimate measures follow earlier sanctions on Addameer, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, and even the International Criminal Court (ICC) itself.
