Indonesia: Israeli tennis player, if we have to, Israeli flag, no way
Indonesia granted a visa to Israeli tennis star Shahar Pe'er to play in a tournament this week, after the World Tennis Federation threatened to cancel the tournament if they did not do so.However, they refuse to fly the Israeli flag as is customary in tournaments of this type.
In a statement, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said that the country was not hosting an Israeli player but an international tournament, and while it could not control who was playing in the tournament, it could control outward signs of international relations with Israel.When the tournament ends, do they play the national anthem of the winner's country? Wouldn't it be funny if Pe'er won?
Heh.

I would love her to win.
I would never go someplace where they hate my faith, my people and my country!
If she goes under these disgraceful terms, I hope she loses big time.
The Indonesian government to consider the Israeli tennis player is not higher in rank than come with an idea about international event ... without Israeli flag and national anthem ... but in anyway it is an solution ...
