Allegedly......Same warning was issued to Macedonians in Australia during the Macedonia conflict with the Albanians.

Two Melburnian school colleagues fighting in Israeli army are injured in Gaza .....
The Israeli embassy in Canberra refused to comment on the number of Australians fighting for the IDF, but it is believed there are in excess of 100 enlisted.

Let's see if this applies to all Australian citizens.

[Philosopher]

We all know that there are double standards. There is one rule for the United States, its allies, and Israel, and another rule for the "other". In this "other" category is Macedonia and Palestine, among others.

Poor Palestinian people. Their land has been plundered; their people imprisoned, tortured, and murdered; their women raped; their children murdered; and their livelihoods disseminated.

The Zionist regime has been unrelenting in its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinians. What a butcherous regime.

But the US and the EU support and fund Israel.

UEFA (Union of European Football Associations ) are in on it now

Celtic and St Johnstone (Scottish clubs) have been fined €18,000 by UEFA for flying Palestine flags.

Apparently this is fine though.

UEFA deem the Palestine flag a political symbol because the conflict with Israeli forces in the region is still ongoing.

That's a stupid decision by UEFA. Neither the Palestinian or Israeli flag (or any national flag, for that matter) should be banned from being displayed. I wonder if the same applies to the Ukrainian, Russian or any other flag of the many countries around the world which are currently involved in conflicts.

Search for Macedonia on UEFA's website. It's a FYROM fest. I've often sent them correspondence to correct their mistake but nothing.

There is a case of Hypocrisy

UEFA Statutes

http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/...7_DOWNLOAD.pdf

Objectives
Article 2

B) Promote football in Europe in a spirit of peace, understanding and FairPlay. Without any discrimination on account of politics, gender, religion, race or any other reason.

But then this......

III MEMBERSHIP
Article 5

Membership of UEFA is open to national football associations situated in the continent of Europe, based in a country which is recognised by the United Nations as an independent state.

We also have our selves to blame.

[Bill77]

EU In 2016 on Macedonian elections "VMRO cannot organise elections without SDSM"........




EU in 2017 on Albanian elections

we are in a situation where the electoral process for the general elections on 18 June has been set*in motion.*The elections*will*take place without the participation of the main opposition parties........

It was the deliberate choice by the current opposition not to run for elections.......
the democratic process must continue, even if some decide to stay behind.
Democracy and democratic standards shall not be*held back*by boycotting institutions and democratic elections........
