The campaign began in February at a UEFA Champions League match in Scotland.

Rez said FIFA has done nothing to fight the problem.
“We have definitely not seen nothing that is so alarming,” she told Pakinomist Digital in a recent conversation. “We’ve seen the leader of FIFA say and do, again, absolutely nothing. We haven’t seen any of the fans being punished or removed from the games that keep these characters. So again, we want the task force that President Trump creates to step in before and be proactive and say, no, this is not welcome in the US. This will not fly here.”
Rez added that FIFA President Gianni Infantino should take a “strong stand” against the campaign.
“I think it should be eradicated right away,” she said. “Gianni Infantino has to take a strong stand and say, ‘Bigotry and Bias against the world’s only Jewish country are not welcome in any kind of organization I’m on my way.’ He has not yet done so.
“And because he doesn’t have it, we urge President Trump’s task force to step in and demand that this kind of, again, bias and isolation and destruction of Israel just are not welcome in the United States. Americans will not stand for it.”

“We hope that Andrew Giuliani, as the leader of this task force, really steps in and works with Gianni Infantino to say, ‘This rhetoric is not welcome here, you have to make a statement. And we will not welcome the anti-Semites,” Rez-Vester, “.
