Eric Cantona: “Four days after Russia started the war in Ukraine. FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia. We are now 716 days into what Amnesty International have called a genocide. And yet, Israel continue to be allowed to participate.” [Great Speech]

Ooh aah Cantona
Valid point.
So many international institutions have made a mockery of themselves.
It’s entirely their own fault and I have 0 sympathy for them. Like Cantona said, they CHOSE to take political stands when it was convenient and aligned with Western interests. Had they maintained a policy of being genuinely apolitical (as they claim) but again, the moment Ukraine was attacked, they suddenly decided to abandon their apolitical screed in the name of supporting “human rights”.
It’s so obvious to see how much of a farce these institutions are and international law in general is as you can see by how the nations they oppose are always enemies of the US and the West lol.
Erik is such a good person whilst being a great player. Still fondly remember him headkicking a racist
Cantona was one of the main guys responsible for turning things around for Manchester United and turning it into the global juggernaut it is today. He also kung Fu kicked a racist fan during a live match to take months of suspension. 👑
Edit: [here’s ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6eOCxIPkvb8) the link of a classic premier league moment where Cantona kicks the racist fan.

Always has been a real one, dropkicking nazis and standing up for palestine since forever. I met him years ago, hes kind of an intimidating presence but really funny and nice.
Eric the King for a reason
He’s been advocating for Palestine for a long, long time
