ITV News reporter Graham Stothard explains why criticism has been mounting over the FA's response to Hamas's attack on Israel
"Our thoughts are with them, and their families and friends in England and Australia and with all the communities who are affected by this ongoing conflict. We stand for humanity and an end to the death, violence, fear and suffering."It added that only flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality would be allowed for the two competing nations inside the arena.
"What Jewish people are saying is, 'Yet again, Jews don't count'," Lord Mann told Good Morning Britain, adding: "The Wembley Arch has been lit up repeatedly for a vast array of things."Considering this, he said the decision not to light up the structure sends the wrong message to British Jews, significant numbers of whom live in north London.
“When hundreds of innocent Israelis were murdered, raped and kidnapped in a co-ordinated terrorist campaign, unequalled since 9/11, the FA’s response is ‘to remember the victims of the conflicts in Israel and Palestine’. This weak response brings no credit on the FA.” “I don’t know what it is like to walk in the shoes of people on either side of that conflict," he said.
