Scotland play Israel this week. Today Israeli authorities have abducted two members of the Palestine women's national team.
When will it be enough for the Scottish FA/UEFA/FIFA to take a stand?

This Palestinian boy in Gaza broke down in tears after his glasses were damaged. Amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and blockade on the entry of supplies, it may be impossible for him to replace the glasses.
1/This video was taken in Nov. 2023, when Robbie Keane was manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Its first team is being shown a video of soldiers (staff) firing rockets during a genocide against Palestinians as a motivational exercise. They applaud it.
Celtic Fans For The Liberation Of Palestine (CFLP) has released a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as Celtic FC's new manager:
“As Celtic fans, we oppose the proposed appointment of Robbie Keane as manager of Celtic Football Club.
Celtic supporters have a long and proud history of solidarity with the Palestinian people. For us, Robbie Keane’s decision to manage Maccabi Tel Aviv during the genocide in Gaza is impossible to ignore. To choose to manage a club in Israel while, less than 40 miles away, the same country was using indiscriminate weapons of mass murder against a defenceless people is unconscionable.
Celtic was founded by a community shaped by the legacy of genocide, displacement and famine. Our club’s roots lie in solidarity with those who suffered injustice and oppression. We cannot forget where we came from, nor turn our backs on those facing genocide today.
At a time when Celtic requires unity and collective purpose, this appointment would be deeply divisive among the support. It would also represent a predictable and uninspiring choice at a moment when greater ambition is needed.
We urge the Celtic board to listen to supporters’ concerns and reconsider this appointment.”
@laura_woodsy@TeleFootball I think most people couldn't care what you're allegiances are. Frankly, if you're good enough at your specific job, it shouldn't matter.
It's the other clampets we have to endure - this is coming from an Arsenal fan by the way.
@planet_teletext@PremLeaguePanel PSG were poor, I agree. I also feel for our forwards - midfield provides a limited platform in which they can work from and they receive next to no help from full backs and our midfield in transition/against low blocks.
Signing attacking players doesn't solve anything.
24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.
Helen Mirren when she has visited Israel has said
“I saw Palestinians being thrown out from their houses in Jerusalem But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.”
