Summer Transfer Window

I have zero problem myself with us recruiting an Israeli player any more so than a Spanish player, a Chinese player or a South Korean one (or a North Korean one for that matter though I don't think there are any professional North Korean players outside of North Korea itself without resorting to google). Every football player (and people of any career for that matter) is entitled to the right to be employed without their religion and world outlook being held against them.

I believe that everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs and their opinions on the wars with Iran and Palestine, as long as the prospective player keeps those opinions to himself and doesn't turn the club into a platform for him to air those views and risk turning the club into a soap opera and bringing it into disrepute.

Whether or not I agree with those views is besides the point (I'm not going down this rabbit hole again), I have made my thoughts on the genocidal maniacs in charge of Israel perfectly clear before. No matter if someone's opinion is right or wrong, the club does not exist for them to use it to push their agenda in the public eye.

I do agree though that currently it would be a very risky proposition to bring in such a player without extremely strict due diligence and risk assessment for the reputation of the club.
The last thing I want to see is the possibility of an Israeli player draping themselves in that flag at our stadium. Massive no from me

I completely agree.

There is nothing wrong with having national pride and patriotism, but not when what you are proud of is your country being actively involved in genocide.
