“We will not let hatred win”: the message from the Israeli Federation before France

A match under high tension. This Thursday, November 14 (8:45 p.m.), welcomes Israel, as part of the League of Nations. This meeting, played at the Stade de France, was classified as high risk by the French authorities, especially since the violent events in Amsterdam, and they plan to deploy 4,000 police officers. Shino Moshe Zuares, president of the Israeli Federation, responded by email to questions from West France.

A few days after the events in Amsterdam (1), what is your state of mind as you travel to France with Israel?

This is a very complex time for us. But we know what we represent, and we are proud to represent our country. The events in Amsterdam only strengthen us, and we will not let hatred and ignorance defeat us. We will face the situation and we will come out stronger.

Are you worried about this trip to France?

I have to be worried and preoccupied, yes, to make sure everything goes well. You know, since the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972, it was clear to us that some would try to do it again one day. Since then, we have constantly tried to find the right balance between safety and the ability for our athletes to concentrate on the objectives.
