When there was an organized, premeditated pogrom in Amsterdam against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, UEFA did not condemn those attacks specifically. It
put out a general statement that "both sides" the issue. (The announcer assumes it is supportive of the Israeli fans but the wording says nothing about them as victims.)
The UEFA strongly condemns the incidents and acts of violence that occurred in the city of Amsterdam before and after the UEFA Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. We trust that the relevant authorities will identify and charge as many as possible of those responsible for such actions. UEFA will review all official reports, gather available evidence, evaluate it and consider any other appropriate course of action in accordance with its relevant regulatory framework.
This statement is not on their website or social media.
The UEFA has rules against political messages at games, yet it didn't say anything negative about the huge "Free Palestine" banner shown at a game last week which included a map that erased Israel and a depiction of the Temple Mount topped with the Dome of the Rock on the site of the Jewish Temples.
The UEFA spokesperson said the team would not face sanctions as it only bans political messages "
deemed insulting or provocative." Showing a map erasing Israel, and a mosque deliberately built on the holiest spot, is not deemed provocative enough.
And the UEFA is lying about its own policies.
Its rules ban all political messaging, without caveats: "The promotion or announcement, by any means, of political messages or of any other political actions inside or in the immediate vicinity of the stadium is strictly prohibited before, during and after the match."
The UEFA also did not say a word about footballer Hakim Ziyech who mocked Israeli fans running for their lives in Amsterdam.
Again, this is a violation of UEFA rules, which say, "Any person under the scope of Article 3 [which includes players] who insults the human dignity of a person
or group of persons on whatever grounds, including skin colour, race, religion,
ethnic origin, gender or sexual orientation, incurs a suspension lasting at least ten
matches or a specified period of time, or any other appropriate sanction.
Normally, the UEFA zealously adheres to these rules. When Jews are the victims, not so much.
How can the UEFA justify violating its own policies so egregiously?
Because there are a lot of Muslim football fans in Europe and if the UEFA would apply its own rules to situations that would upset them, they would protest and threaten the UEFA itself.
In short, antisemitic threats force people to avoid any situation where they could become targets of the antisemites, and they justify their hypocrisy after the fact by claiming that there is a loophole in their own policies that allow discrimination against Jews.
The UEFA inactions are perfect examples of "proleptic dhimmitude" where Westerners take what they assume to be pro-Muslim positions in anticipation of supremacist Muslim threats and demands.
As bad as that is, there is a newer dimension of fear where ordinary people are not only afraid of extremist Muslim violence, but of "cancellation" from their "progressive" friends.
Canadian surrogate mothers, the most progressive people you can imagine, are refusing to carry Israeli babies.
They claim to have only the best and most moral of reasons, of course. According to
The National Post, some say that they oppose any Israeli parents because they consider all Israelis guilty of "genocide." Others say they don't want their birth children to grow up in a conflict zone. Those are the reasons that are highlighted in the article and in various Facebook surrogacy groups.
But hidden among those is the real reason that most surrogates would prefer non-Israeli parents:
[A] few surrogates fear personal blowback if it became known they were gestating a baby for an Israeli.
...Jacki Lebert, CEO of Ontario’s Platinum Surrogacy, [said] “There are surrogates who feel that carrying for an Israeli would be supporting genocide … More frequently than that is the fear (of harm to the parents or baby or reprisals for them).”
Surrogates are uniformly progressive. A great number of the parents they help out are gay men who want a family. They know that in their social circles, they would be ostracized if their friends know that they are carrying Israeli babies.
Because no one wants to admit to knuckling under pressure and threats, most of them re-work their brains to say that this is their own courageous decision to show how moral they are rather than thinking of themselves as cowards and hypocrites. In the end, the only people they refuse to help out are Jews.
This is only one of many examples that show how insidious modern progressive antisemitism is. The BDSers promise they will incessantly hound anyone who shows even the slightest relationship with Israelis, and most people - understandably - don't want the hassle. Over time, they create their own justifications for their discrimination against Israeli Jews and Zionists, because they cannot live with the knowledge that they cannot stand up for their own principles of treating everyone equally.
The Canadian surrogacy story goes beyond proleptic dhimmitude - it is a fear not of Muslims directly, but of fellow progressives who have already gone beyond dhimmitude into full blown antisemitism themselves.
In both cases, and countless others like when artists refuse to perform in Israel or Kamala Harris buckles under to demands by Israel haters out of fear of their own supposed supporters, the BDS and Islamist method of threatening anyone and everyone who do not adhere to their maximalist demands is startlingly effective. It furthers their agenda and the people who fear being bullied end up becoming BDS' biggest backers in order to be able to live with themselves and their hypocrisy.
