An entire nation of scumbags. Why do we let a middle eastern nation play in UEFA anyway? Israel gets special treatment while Ireland who asked to be separated from Israel in future draws due to their opposition to genocide get told there is nothing they can do.
The civilised world needs to stop trade and travel to these genocidal disgusting excuses for human beings.
