The Anti Fascist Football Coalition Joins the Call for the Remaining Teams in the World Cup to Withdraw and Urges People of Conscience to Fight Back Against U.S. Fascism<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

On July 8, The Black Alliance for Peace called for the remaining teams in the World Cup to withdraw from the tournament to reject the lawlessness and impunity of the U.S. in its renewed active warfare against Iran as well as the ongoing, illegal, and barbaric acts of genocide in Palestine and Lebanon. On July 9, the Anti-Fascist Football Coalition (AFFC), composed of 35 international organizations, joined the call with fervor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AFFC is clear: The U.S. is the greatest violator of human rights on the planet. The reignited war on Iran is one atrocity among the dozens of war crimes the U.S. is waging globally. We cannot and will not normalize genocide and state violence by allowing the World Cup to uphold \u201cbusiness as usual.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe renewal of hostilities against Iran, the persistence of Israel\u2019s U.S.-backed bombardment of Lebanon during the so-called ceasefire, and Israel\u2019s assassination of Mohammed Fawaz al-Wahidi moments before the Egypt-Argentina match are reasons enough for the remaining nations to withdraw from the tournament,\u201d said Julio L\u00f3pez Torres, of Diaspora Pa\u2019lante Collective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdd to this, the violence being carried out by the Trump regime in the United States. In Houston, just three days after hosting a World Cup match, ICE agents murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. In a city that hosted seven World Cup matches, including two knockout games, a man was executed for going to work. A country that still has colonial possessions, like the colonization of my country of Puerto Rico (which is used as a launching ground to wage war on the Caribbean and Latin America), was never worthy of hosting the beautiful game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando Mateo, of Compas de la Diaspora, stated, \u201cIt is a disgrace that the imperialist, carceral-genocidal machine called the United States has been allowed to host the World Cup in the first place, given their role in the Gaza Holocaust. However, the recent aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as escalations in the domestic war against the immigrant proletariat \u2013 by way of increased deportation, inhumane conditions at detention centers, and cancellation of TPS<\/a> for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians \u2013 plus the U.S. just hosted Israel for the World Baseball Classic! – all of that should prompt any free, conscious person, federation, state or f\u00fatbol player to retire from the rest of this sham tournament. Anything less than that is complicity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anti-Fascist Football Coalition calls on organizations and individuals to collectively resist and fight back – to join in this call for concrete solidarity from the international community against the U.S. agenda for global domination at the ongoing expense of human life. The AFFC continues its commitment to Boycott the World Cup and Boycott the U.S., forcefully rejecting the ongoing devaluation of non-white life displayed by the U.S., FIFA, and its corporate ruling class partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Coalici\u00f3n Antifascista del F\u00fatbol se suma al llamado para que los equipos restantes de la Copa del Mundo se retiren y exhorta a las personas con conciencia a enfrentar el fascismo estadounidense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El 8 de julio, la Alianza Negra por la Paz hizo un llamado a los equipos restantes de la Copa del Mundo para que se retiraran del torneo en rechazo a la ilegalidad y la impunidad de Estados Unidos en su renovada guerra activa contra Ir\u00e1n, as\u00ed como a los continuos, ilegales y b\u00e1rbaros actos de genocidio en Palestina y el L\u00edbano. El 9 de julio, la Coalici\u00f3n Antifascista del F\u00fatbol (AFFC, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), integrada por 35 organizaciones internacionales, se sum\u00f3 con firmeza a este llamado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La AFFC es clara: Estados Unidos es el mayor violador de los derechos humanos del planeta. La reactivaci\u00f3n de la guerra contra Ir\u00e1n es una atrocidad m\u00e1s entre las decenas de cr\u00edmenes de guerra que Estados Unidos libra en todo el mundo. No podemos ni vamos a normalizar el genocidio y la violencia estatal permitiendo que la Copa del Mundo mantenga la apariencia de que todo sigue \u00abcomo si nada\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLa reanudaci\u00f3n de las hostilidades contra Ir\u00e1n, la persistencia de los bombardeos israel\u00edes sobre el L\u00edbano con respaldo de Estados Unidos durante el supuesto alto el fuego y el asesinato por parte de Israel de Mohammed Fawaz al-Wahidi, apenas momentos antes del partido entre Egipto y Argentina, son razones m\u00e1s que suficientes para que las naciones restantes se retiren del torneo\u00bb, declar\u00f3 Julio L\u00f3pez Torres, del colectivo Diaspora Pa\u2019lante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abA esto se suma la violencia que est\u00e1 llevando a cabo el r\u00e9gimen de Trump dentro de Estados Unidos. En Houston, apenas tres d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de albergar un partido de la Copa del Mundo, agentes de ICE asesinaron a Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. En una ciudad que fue sede de siete partidos del Mundial, incluidos dos encuentros de eliminaci\u00f3n directa, un hombre fue ejecutado por ir a trabajar. Un pa\u00eds que todav\u00eda mantiene posesiones coloniales, como la colonizaci\u00f3n de mi pa\u00eds, Puerto Rico (utilizado como plataforma para librar guerras contra el Caribe y Am\u00e9rica Latina), nunca fue digno de albergar el deporte m\u00e1s hermoso del mundo\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando Mateo, de Compas de la Diaspora, afirm\u00f3: \u00abEs una verg\u00fcenza que la maquinaria imperialista, carcelaria y genocida llamada Estados Unidos haya sido autorizada a albergar la Copa del Mundo desde un principio, dada su responsabilidad en el Holocausto de Gaza. Sin embargo, la reciente agresi\u00f3n contra la Rep\u00fablica Isl\u00e1mica de Ir\u00e1n, junto con la intensificaci\u00f3n de la guerra interna contra el proletariado inmigrante \u2014mediante el aumento de las deportaciones, las condiciones inhumanas en los centros de detenci\u00f3n y la cancelaci\u00f3n del TPS para 350.000 haitianos y 6.000 sirios\u2014, adem\u00e1s de que Estados Unidos acaba de recibir a Israel para el Cl\u00e1sico Mundial de B\u00e9isbol, deber\u00edan llevar a cualquier persona libre y consciente, federaci\u00f3n, Estado o futbolista a retirarse del resto de este torneo fraudulento. Cualquier cosa inferior a eso es complicidad\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Coalici\u00f3n Antifascista del F\u00fatbol hace un llamado a las organizaciones y a las personas a resistir y contraatacar colectivamente, sum\u00e1ndose a este llamado por una solidaridad concreta de la comunidad internacional frente a la agenda estadounidense de dominaci\u00f3n global, sostenida a costa de la vida humana. La AFFC reafirma su compromiso con el Boicot a la Copa del Mundo y el Boicot a Estados Unidos, rechazando en\u00e9rgicamente la continua desvalorizaci\u00f3n de las vidas no blancas promovida por Estados Unidos, la FIFA y sus socios de la clase dominante corporativa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
