A group of Israeli teen Ultimate Frisbee players were banned from an international competition in Belgium last week after a vandal scrawled antisemitic statements near their playing field — and the heartbroken kids and coaches are wondering why.

The Israeli delegation — which included 33 players between the ages of 13 and 16, as well as nine adults — had been practicing and preparing for years ahead of the European Youth Ultimate Championship in Ghent, Belgium, according to Chen Bankirer, president of the Israeli Flying Disc Association.

But just as the team — which traveled thousands of miles to get to the tournament — was getting ready for Tuesday morning’s inaugural games, the tournament director told them that somebody had spray-painted “Boycott Israhell now!” near their field.

Daniel Ben David, a 22-year-old assistant coach who lives near Tel Aviv, said the Ghent police chief told the adults, “This is your war, not mine,” before saying their presence would cause problems in Belgium.

“It’s just very antisemitic, honestly,” the coach added. “We just want to let our kids play. We aimed to win this tournament, we’ve been working for three years just to prepare. And to have it robbed from the kids is horrible.”

Bankirer told The Post that the local officials tried to claim they were concerned for the team’s safety.

“Basically they said to us, ‘You’re not going to play.’ The claim of the police and the city is that the fields are too open, and they cannot protect the fields [or] ensure the safety of the tournament,” he said.

“We heard the news on Tuesday morning at 6 a.m.,” he said. “We were sad. We were waiting for [the kids] to wake up. And then we gathered all of them together, and we broke the news to 33 kids that they cannot play because they’re Israelis. And they were heartbroken.”

The Israeli Foreign Affairs and Culture and Sports Ministries tried to intervene, but the final decision banning the teams was made Tuesday night, according to the Jerusalem Post.

To add insult to injury, the city also banned the kids and coaches from even watching the games as spectators.

“I think they did not want people around to know that there were Israeli Jewish people there,” Bankirer said.

My USUK Fic Rec

(Bc apparently my feels for these two always come back even after all these years)

Lying in that Sound, Tonight by stardropdream

Before the victory of the allies, before the United States of America joined the war, before Lend-Lease, before everything — there were just two nations, two men, who just refused to meet halfway until it was forced upon them.

Misplaced Soil by stardropdream

An argument leaves England and America to reassess and redefine their "special" relationship, all the while England is stuck in a country he doesn't fully understand despite his best efforts.

Bottle it Up by stardropdream

Arthur thinks to himself that at this point he should be used to war, used to the loss of his men. But he is not, and after two ambushes in one day, he is forced to realize that Alfred, too, is in many ways much too young for war. How sweet it is, to die for one's country.

The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore by stardropdream

With the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the War of 1812 came to its conclusion, but there are still things left unsaid.

Here's to the Daylight by stardropdream

England's relationship with mornings. Four vignettes (colonial times, revolutionary times, world war two time, and current time).

Meet Along the Way by stardropdream

England comes to meet America at the airport.

Raining of the Lone Star by stardropdream

England, angry that America isn't home when he said he would, goes off to clear his head and finds America participating in a tradition England would never have expected of him.

This One Old Street by stardropdream

Alfred and Arthur spend a slow Sunday day together, before Arthur is slotted to leave for London that evening.

And Bury My Body at Sea by stardropdream

When the water comes to take Arthur away in order to repay a debt from centuries ago, Alfred is the one to bring him back.

You Can’t Take the Sky from Me by Haro

Ace pilot America is on a mission for the World Military when a chance encounter with a group of sky-pirates leads him to team up with their captain, England, against a malevolent group that wants to fill the sky with zeppelins.

To Drive the Cold Winter Away by Haro

America waits at the airport on a bitter winter day.

To the End of the Universe by Haro

The year is 2650. Many things have changed, but just as many remain the same. America and England, for example, still hate goodbyes and love each other.

Somnium by Haro

Somnium, they had named it. When the United Federation of America and the United Kingdoms had made the decision to terraform this planet together, it was hailed as the largest project of its type to date. And it was.

All Roads Lead by PennyLane

It’s WWII, and England is a prisoner in a German POW camp. America’s mission it to rescue him before the Germans discover who he really is.

Born on the Fourth of July by PennyLane

It’s America’s Bicentennial and the celebration is going to be epic. Despite England’s bouts of ill health he suffers during this time of the year, he knows his duty, and his duty is to attend the festivities and play his part. But this celebration doesn’t turn out as either America or England thought it would. (Set during America’s Bi-Centennial, 1976)

Written in the Stars by rierin

Alfred wakes up after an assassination attempt to find Arthur at his bedside. He's told he and Arthur are engaged— but the last thing Alfred remembers is the Revolutionary War, and all he feels for Arthur is anger and resentment bordering on hatred.

caressed by thorns by aiwendor

America once looked at the mark on his chest with excitement. Now, he only looks at it with disdain.

i'll show you the stars by aiwendor

Once, a long time ago under a starry night sky, America made a promise.

The Secret Ingredient by Ferrero13

It is a fact. All the nations know it. England cannot cook. He must, in fact, not be allowed within spitting distance of a kitchen. Except, it turns out, it isn't.

American in America by Ferrero13

America, being America, says something he should've known better than to say in his own airport, whereupon he is taken in for questioning and finds it very difficult to explain why this particular nineteen-year-old seems to be as politically active as the President himself.

Cold December Night by Car

All England wanted was one kiss from America, and if wearing a -not ugly at all, thank you very much- sweater and wallpapering his penthouse with mistletoe was how it was going to happen- so be it.

(I'll add more to this list as I gain more favs!!!)

2022 has been the craziest year of my life. I had the opportunity to travel with friends and by myself for the first time, I successfully concluded my first year of university, I saw so many amazing places and people, I left home to study abroad and started living on my own for the first time ever.

I met a ton of new people, and finally saw some internet friends irl@thetriangletattoo @ddeerr @surroundedbylightt @vivi I’m looking at you 👀

I took trains and missed buses, visited cities alone at night, spent money recklessly, saw so many concerts I’m probably going to be deaf sometime soon, and had so much fun I could have never imagined just a year ago. I saw Harry and Louis and Billie and Ed and Dom and London and Vienna and Sofia and Antwerp and Brussels and Dinant and Ghent and all those amazing places in Switzerland, the mountains and the lakes.

I also lost my dad, worked the whole summer 10 hours a day, felt lonely and not enough, wasted days just laying on the bed and hating myself for it. I messed up relationships, hurt myself, gained weight, felt inadequate, hated my family and felt guilty for it. Heard from my mother once a week at best and dreamt of never going back home and disappearing forever from their lives just to try and be happy on my own.

Now, I think maybe a couple of people care about this, but I just wanted to write it down and let someone read it if they wanted. It’s been the best and the worst year of my life. We invented time and decided that it’s now another year. Nothing really changes, does it? But I still hope for something (I don’t know what).

Special mention to @lovedbylou @writtenalloveryourface28 @otbnaga bc yes I love you and it was beautiful talking to you during the year <3333 and @blushingpizza @beingtransrocksactually @finexbright we never really spoke but still I love you guys <3333

I have plans for 2023 and I’m also clueless about what to do with my life. We’ll see, hopefully together :) <3
