My opinion (separate opinion) about how Indonesia is “Less Love” if compared with Ulster, Irish, Scottish, Jewish Progressive people which have very huge, unwavering support for Palestine, also on (click) here. Although Ulster, Irish, Scottish mostly Catholic. (*I changed the word “SOCCER” to “FOOTBALL” because the editing result “SOCCER” is Jakpost-style English-American minded. Palestinian never use “Soccer”, but use “Football”, except Palestinian America”
Hasan Kareem (Palestine Amputee Football Association in Gaza) and Saher Sharha (Football Player Nadi Thaqafi Tulkarm Al-Riyadhi or simply Thaqafi Tulkarem, a Palestinian professional football team based in Tulkarem, that plays in the West Bank).
More context: amputee Palestine is (arguably) too much, because Israeli’s brutality (with landmine, or rocket). 2021 bombing of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli forces. At least 153 fellow Palestinians suffered amputations to prevent the risk of infection in their wounds.
"Solidarity to Indonesia, from Palestine"
We, the undersigned Palestinian football teams, salute the Indonesian people who stood against apartheid Israel’s participation in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. We commend them for their principled solidarity. We also salute the governors of Bali and Central Java for their position that denied apartheid Israel the chance to sportswash its crimes using our beloved sport, football. Your voices inspire us to keep playing and struggling for freedom and justice. We condemn FIFA’s decision to strip Indonesia of the right to host this youth tournament, denying your athletes this important opportunity. But more importantly, we acknowledge the heavy price that you had to pay, a price that many Arab and international athletes and teams have had to pay, and still do for their principled positions.

"Kami, tim sepak bola Palestina yang bertanda tangan di bawah ini, salut pada rakyat Indonesia yang menentang keikutsertaan apartheid Israel di Piala Dunia FIFA U-20. Kami memuji mereka atas solidaritas berprinsip mereka. Kami mengecam keputusan FIFA yang mencabut hak Indonesia untuk menjadi tuan rumah turnamen remaja ini, menolak kesempatan penting ini bagi para atlet Anda. Tetapi yang lebih penting, kami mengakui harga mahal yang harus Anda bayar, harga yang harus dibayar oleh banyak atlet dan tim Arab dan internasional, dan masih dilakukan untuk posisi prinsip mereka. Kami menyerukan asosiasi sepak bola lainnya di seluruh dunia untuk menolak kemunafikan FIFA dan berdiri bersama Indonesia di sisi kebenaran sejarah ini."
