If you do not welcome others in sport ??

The majority would seem to think that they are defending themselves or do majorities not count any more?

"As of November 2023, 163 UN member states have recognized Israel, while 138 have recognized Palestine. Most of the countries that do not currently recognize Israel are Muslim-majority "

Quelle surprise!

Not really a surprise mein freund. The "majority" you refer to all have shared histories of colonial enterprises or the subjugation of indigenous people whilst nicking their lands and stealing their assets. Big Boys rule OK.

Interesting to note that Ireland recognise Israel, however, they do not recognise Palestine but yet it is they who were the reason that this thread started.
Sport and politics ---any excuse!
