The Shejaia club from the Gaza Strip must pass through an Israeli border
crossing to reach the West Bank city of Hebron, where Sunday's game was
scheduled to be played, and to do so needs approval from Israel.
"It
became clear seven people, including four players were not on the list
and therefore, the entire mission can't leave Gaza without them," said
Ala Shammaly of the Shejaia media office.
Israel said the four
players needed to undergo special questioning, which was to have taken
place on Thursday, but the Palestinians did not show.
It offered
to let the rest of the team cross on Friday, the start of the weekend in
Israel, with the four to meet them on Sunday when it would again be
possible to conduct the questioning.
The Palestinian federation said the game was delayed until further notice.
In a series of tweets, COGAT, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, tells a far different story.
(1/6)Provocation by Jibril Rajoub:
Following the Palestinians request, we coordinate the crossing of 37 players from #Gaza to Judea&Samaria
In case you need to be reminded why 'Palestinian' soccer players might need to pass 'preliminary inquiries' before being allowed to move through Israel and into the 'West Bank,' herearesome reminders.
I'm going to guess that many of my US readers never heard of FIFA, the international soccer federation several of whose officials were indicted on bribery charges in the US earlier this week. Here in Israel, we are alltoofamiliar with them.
'Palestinian' terrorist and soccer federation chairman Jibril Rajoub is seeking to have Israel expelled from FIFA, which would bar the world's only Jewish state from international soccer competitions like the World Cup. As you can see from the tweet above, the Israeli government believes it's on the verge of a 'compromise' (can't wait to hear what that would entail) that would avert the expulsion.
But not everyone believes that a compromise is in the offing.
Per @peterbeaumont, Pal officials deny they've reached a deal to avert vote on suspension of Israel from #Fifa
Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner, arrested in Trinidad and Tobago
on Wednesday on bribery charges as part of a massive bust of top soccer
officials, previously blamed “Zionism” for a bribery scandal which saw
him forced from the world soccer body in 2011.
Warner surrendered to authorities late
Wednesday in his native Trinidad and Tobago after his name appeared on a
list of nine current or former FIFA officials and five business
executives who “abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of
dollars in bribes and kickbacks,” according to US Attorney General
Loretta Lynch.
Warner resigned from FIFA in 2011 after the
organization opened an ethics investigation into the vice president for
receiving cash “gifts” from former Asian Football Confederation chief
Mohammed Bin Hammam, ahead of the organization’s elections for
president.
After FIFA handed Qatar’s Bin Hammam a
lifetime ban from the soccer governing body for his role in the affair,
Warner lashed out at the soccer body for what he said were various
shortcomings, and vowed to bring down FIFA head Sepp Blatter.
“I will talk about the racism that is within
FIFA. I will talk about the levels of religious discrimination which I
sought to correct. I will talk about the Zionism, which probably is the
most important reason why this acrid attack on Bin Hammam and me was
mounted,” Warner wrote at the time in a 1,400 word letter to the
Trinidad Guardian.
And if you followed the links above, you already know that Blatter isn't exactly fair to Israel either.
Meanwhile, FIFA and the media continue to ignore the real story to which they ought to be paying attention: The 'Palestinian Authority's use of sports to promote terrorism rather than peace.
And the saga continues:
Israel Radio reports that many #FIFA delegation heads say no vote, and if vote, won't pass. Stay tuned.
After Qatar (2022), what did you expect? The Islamic State terror group will be hosting the 2026 World Cup.
The bid was decided at a star-studded ceremony in Zurich, after what
observers termed a “ruthlessly well-organised, take-no-prisoners style
campaign”. FIFA President Sepp Blatter has defended the selection,
noting that ISIS government policy, while ‘not perfect’, meets FIFA’s
required ethical standards.
“At FIFA we believe that football is a truly global game,” he said.
“That’s why we’ve chosen ISIS, an up-and-coming nation in the Middle
East, to host the game.”
Alleged flaws in the human rights record of ISIS have made the choice
highly controversial. One spot of contention has been the safety of
Western football fans, who will, in the words of one ISIS spokesman, be
‘politely but firmly’ taken hostage and then killed regardless of
religion. Blatter has suggested that these fans should stay at home.
It is also unclear whether air strikes will still be in operation
against some of the venues. And Islamic State have yet to field an
international team in football. “Their extremely radical interpretation
of Islam doesn’t look kindly on playing football against non-Muslims,”
explained one Sharia law expert. “They do have a strong local militant
league with a growing youth squad, so they could be ones to watch in the
future. Plus they’ve got lots of British-born talent going out there
now to play.”
'Israeli Arab' soccer team pays tribute to traitor Azmi Bishara
Many of you might recall former Balad MK Azmi Bishara who fled the country and resigned from the Knesset after it was discovered that he helped Hezbullah spot rockets during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. On Saturday, the soccer team in the 'Israeli Arab' town of Bnei Sakhnin - which is part of Israel's national league and plays games against teams from all over the country - paid tribute to Bishara, prompting calls to suspend the team from the league.
At the beginning of the Bnei Sakhnin vs. Hapoel Tel Aviv game, the team
held a ceremony thanking a wealthy man from Qatar for contributing $2
million to the team.
Balad party representatives accepted the award, mentioning Bishara’s name.
Bishara founded Balad and was an MK in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th Knessets.
He
fled Israel in 2007 while under investigation for passing information
to Hezbollah during the previous year’s Second Lebanon War. He
currently resides in Doha, where he is the director of a think tank and
is reportedly close to Qatar’s royal family, a major sponsor of Hamas.
Fans
in the stands Saturday night waved banners reading “Jerusalem is
ours,” with an illustration of the Temple Mount wrapped in a keffiyeh,
and “The police are whores.”
Earlier this week, there were violent clashes between Muslims and police on Temple Mount.
I'm wondering what HaPoel Tel Aviv did during the 'ceremony.' In any event, Israel's 'Football Association' is claiming they were tricked.
The Football Association said Bnei Sakhnin asked only to give
certificates of honor to the team’s sponsors and did not mention
Bishara, and the association will put the team’s management on
disciplinary trial.
FIFA and UEFA rules do not allow soccer teams to mix politics and soccer.
In June, I posted the picture above, which although a photo shop, has garnered 34,397 hits as of this writing - one of the most popular posts ever on this blog.
Last photos of Daniel show him sporting Messi's number 10 jersey, in Argentinian national colors.
Messi wrote two weeks ago that as a father and a UNICEF Goodwill
Ambassador, he is “terribly saddened by the images coming from the
conflict between Israel and Palestine, where violence has already
claimed so many young lives and to injure countless children.” The post
featured a photo of an injured Palestinian child.
The international star plays for FC Barcelona, a soccer team
funded by the Qatari government, which also serves as Hamas’ chief
financier.
“Hey Leo Messi, take a look at that boy, Daniel Tregerman, wearing
the national jersey of the best player in the world,” Liran Cohen, an
Israeli citizen, wrote in a Facebook post that tagged Messi.
“As you can see, you were Daniel’s hero. He was killed today, by a
mortar which was fired by Hamas, the terror organization that your
team’s #1 sponsors is [sic] sponsoring,” Cohen wrote. “Is this what you
stand for? FC Barcelona—is this what you stand for? I guess money can
buy everything.”
The post went viral on Facebook and also on Twitter, but has yet to prompt a response from Messi.
Why Israel doesn't let 'Palestinian' soccer players travel
FIFA - the international soccer federation - is once again pressuring Israel to loosen travel restrictions on 'Palestinian' soccer players.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter and delegates at the FIFA Congress called
on the Israeli government on Wednesday to fully commit to FIFA's plans
to ease restrictions on movement for Palestinian footballers.
"I
call on the Israeli government to facilitate this movement and I go so
far as to say its co-operation is crucial," Blatter told delegates who
roundly applauded him.
...
After Blatter spoke, Jibril Rajoub, the president of the Palestine FA
said they would not be calling for any sanctions against Israel as he
had implied a month ago, but that the suffering of Palestine football
had to end.
"I
call on those who are causing the suffering to stop and those that are
suffering not to lose hope as they are part of the FIFA family," he told
delegates from all 209 of FIFA's members including Israel.
After
Rajoub's speech, Blatter congratulated the Israeli delegation for not
responding negatively to Rajoub's pleas saying: "Israeli football, you
are not abandoned and I congratulate today for keeping silent in the
spirit of sportsmanship fair play."
Yes, yes, sports uber alles, just like in Munich 42 years ago.
Whatever FIFA's plans are, I would bet that they have zero chance of adoption after this incident.
The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) on Wednesday announced that it
had provided the IDF’s legal division with evidence to indict a
Palestinian soccer player for meetings with a Hamas terrorist in Qatar,
which he covered up as part of his team’s soccer tour.
The
statement said that Samah Fares Muhamed Marava, 22, and Kalkilya
resident, left Israel with his team on their soccer tour on April 15.
The Shin Bet said that while in Qatar, Marava met with Talal Ibrahim
Abd al-Rahman Sarim, part of Hamas’ military wing, who was previously
sentenced to life in prison in Israel, but released and deported as part
of the Schalit prisoner exchange.
The statement said that since
his release, Sarim has reconnected with Hamas and is involved with its
military operations in the field.
During his interrogation, Marava
said that before he left for Qatar, Muad Yusef Hasan Sarim, a senior
Hamas operative in Kalkilya, approached him about meeting with Talal
Sarim during his trip, the Shin Bet said.
During Marava’s meeting with Talal Sarim, said the statement, Marava
received money, a cellphone and written messages that Talal Sarim asked
him to bring to Hamas operatives in Kalkilya. This was later confirmed
by Muad Sarim who was arrested on May 21.
The Shin Bet accused
Marava of “cynically exploiting” his status as a soccer player to leave
the country and make contacts with foreign Hamas agents and arrested him
on April 28, upon his return to Israel.
Great sportsmanship, huh? Don't bet on those travel restrictions being lifted anytime soon.
In another stage of the Passover celebrations, [the Jews]
combined the preparation of matzas and the offering up of sacrifices
with their enmity towards non-Jews, especially Christians, and mixed the
blood of one of their victims into the matza [dough. This was done]
especially on Passover, Purim and circumcision rituals. They also used
blood in acts of sorcery and witchcraft…
…The draining of the
victims’ blood is done in [several ways. One method is] by means of a
barrel lined with needles. This is a barrel the size of the victim’s
body, with sharp needles that stick into all his limbs when he is placed
in it, so that his blood slowly trickles down from every part of his
body. This entails excruciating torment, which gives pleasure to the
Jews who become drunk with joy at the sight of the blood dripping from
the victim’s [body] to the bottom of the barrel and into a container
placed there to collect it. [Another method] is to slaughter the victim
like a sheep and collecting his blood in a vessel, or else slashing the
victim’s veins in numerous places so that the blood flows from the
wounds into the vessels. Then the blood is handed to a rabbi who
prepares a matza laced with human blood in order to please the Jewish
god, Jehovah, who thirsts for blood.
The Jews can rejoice in their holidays only if they eat matza laced with the blood of non-Jews.
...
…The Jewish crimes which came to light throughout history and which were investigated and tried are a drop in the ocean compared to the Jewish crimes that no one knows about. The
thousands of children and others who vanish around the world are
probably victims of Jewish rituals. Their blood surely lies in Jewish
stomachs along with the holiday matzas.
...
As part of the efforts to deny [the Jewish crimes], Jewish
Americans wrote stories about vampires in the 1970s, in order to
disassociate themselves from the accusation of sucking human blood and
deceive [the mechanisms of] justice. During that period they
spent millions on Dracula films, in order to deceive world public
opinion. They claimed that those who slaughter children and adults and
suck their blood are lunatics and that all this has nothing to do with
them and their religious rituals. On February 14, 1964, the [Egyptian]
magazine Al-Musawwar published a story about vampires in Colombia after
many [Colombian] children had been slaughtered to shed their blood.
Neither the magazine nor the investigators in Colombia dreamed that the
vampires might be Jews, rather than [people who] sell blood to
hospitals.
Nasty stuff.... But what's truly shocking about this is what the Eretz Yisrael blog discovered about its sponsorship.
We know from past experience that such naked antisemitism in
Arab media cannot be solved by merely publicizing it. Most Arabs are not
even aware that there is anything offensive about describing Jews as
murderous bloodsuckers.
However, a major advertiser for Al Kibar is Visa, with this ad popping up on most articles and shown on the main page:
The ad is the one at the top of this post.
Given FIFA's past history, we can't be too surprised to see them involved in this. But Visa?
FIFA, the world governing body for soccer, is reportedly threatening to expel Israel over its treatment of the 'poor Palestinians.'
Tensions between the two sides recently reached a peak when the
Palestinian FA announced it would call for Israel's expulsion from FIFA
this summer's FIFA Congress in Sao Paulo unless tangible measures are
taken to ease travel restrictions in the occupied territories.
Last
week, the Israeli FA attended the UEFA Congress in Kazakhstan and kept a
low public profile throughout the proceedings. But in a brief interview
with INSIDEworldfootball straight after the congress, Israeli Football
Association CEO Rotem Kemer said there was a danger of too many people
playing politics.
"We don't think this is right," he said. "It
has never been the policy of FIFA and UEFA to mix politics and sport. We
are making our best efforts in order to help the Palestinian
association. We are trying to make things easier for them."
The
Israeli security forces have accused the Palestinians of using football
to hide the movement of terrorists and equipment within the region. The
Palestinians have denied this and point to the inability to get
footballers to training and matches which they say is a deliberate act
of oppression.
FIFA have set up a mediation Task Force and
Palestine football's leading figurehead Jibril Rajoub has already met
with his Israeli counterpart Avi Luzon and FIFA President Sepp Blatter
to try and resolve the long-term issue of access to and from Palestinian
territories.
Blatter, who is due back in the region next month,
wants Israel and Palestine to sign a formal co-operation agreement at or
around the FIFA Congress in June but Rajoub has implied this is some
way off while travel permit restrictions continue to be imposed by
Israel on everyone from players to consultants.
Kemer, however, implied the debate has been far too one-sided.
"I
don't think we will be expelled from FIFA because we are making good
progress with the Palestinians," he said. "I would say we are on the
right track."
There's an example of a 'Palestinian' soccer player (and he's far from the only one) who is involved in terrorism here.
Senators Mark Kirk (R-Il) and Dan Coates (R-In) sent a letter to FIFA requesting
that Russia be barred from the World Cup in Brazil as punishment for its
takeover of Crimea.
As the third place finisher in Group F qualification, Israel would take Russia's place.
French soccer star gets 5-game suspension for Nazi salute
French soccer star Nickolas Anelka has received a 5-game suspension for doing the Quinelle reverse Nazi salute after scoring a goal in a game in December.This is from the first link.
West Bromwich Albion forward Nicolas Anelka
has been banned for five matches and fined 80,000 pounds ($133,400) for
making an alleged anti-Semitic gesture in a match in December, the
Football Association said on Thursday.
The Frenchman, who made a
"quenelle" salute after scoring in a 3-3 draw against West Ham United on
Dec. 28, has also been ordered to complete a compulsory education
course.
Here's hoping he falls flat on his face the next time he plays.
How much anti-Semitism is there in eastern Europe? Here's a BBC special from two years ago (2012) about what goes on at 'football' (soccer) games in the Ukraine and Poland. It's not pretty.
Not that the UK is any better. I have a non-Jewish friend in London, who was a colleague from my New York days. He told me that he won't attend soccer matches anywhere in the UK. It's too violent in the stands.
Keep in mind also that FIFA - the international soccer governing body and parent of UEFA (the European body) - supports Hamas.
Anelka to be disciplined by British 'Football' Association over Nazi salute
French soccer player Nicolas Anelka is to be disciplined by the British 'Football' Association for giving the quenelle reverse Nazi salute (pictured above) in a game last month. This is from the first link.
The Football Association (FA) announced Monday that it would be
charging Nicolas Anelka over making the 'quenelle' gesture, which is
deemed "abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper," according to a statement.
The Association, which is the governing authority for soccer in
England, added it was "an aggravated breach in that it included a
reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief."
The ban could be as little as five games, or be extended to different
or more severe forms of punishment by the FA, according to BBC. Anelka has until January 23 to respond formally to the charges.
The FA was practically forced to act - they've been silent for nearly a month.
The FA has remained largely silent until now, despite the media
circus which began immediately after the gesture was made in December.
On December 30, the FA claimed that Anelka would still be eligible for
selection.
BBC reports that following news of the charge,
anti-discrimination group Kick It Out issued a statement expressing
condemning the FA's lengthy silence.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews, a leading Jewish group in the
UK, focused instead on the positive: that the FA had finally broken its
silence.
"We support the FA in treating this incident seriously and we look to
them to follow through with equal determination," it stated. "The board
believes that any behavior on or off the pitch with racist connotations
should be addressed with zero tolerance and should be kicked out by the
football authorities."
The news surfaces just one day after Zoopla, a property website, ended its sponsorship of Anelka's team West Bromwich Albion over the incident.
"Zoopla has been reviewing its position over the past few weeks in
light of the actions of striker Nicolas Anelka during the match against
West Ham over the Christmas period and has decided to focus its
attention on other marketing activities after this season," the company
said.
It would be great if this Jew-hating creep were banned for life, but that's probably hoping for too much.
Dutch soccer team slammed for leaving Jewish player out of UAE trip
The Dutch soccer team Vitesse is facing criticism at home and abroad for leaving home a Jewish player who was not granted a visa to play two matches in the United Arab Emirates.
Two Dutch politicians and several media criticized the team Vitesse
from Arnhem over the weekend for agreeing to play in Abu Dhabi despite
the refusal Saturday to let Dan Mori into the country for matches
against two German teams.
Geert Wilders, leader of the rightist, pro-Israel Party for Freedom,
on Sunday called the team cowardly on his Twitter account. “Vitesse
shouldn’t have gone to the United Arab Emirates to protest the refusal
to let Mori in. They are now accepting the emirates’ Jew-hate.
Cowardly.”
Pieter Omtzigt, a lawmaker for the CDA party, told Dutch media on
Monday that Vitesse should behave like Dutch lawmakers, who refuse to
visit places which try to dictate the make-up of parliamentary
delegations.
Ester Bal, communications director for Vitesse, said the team “stays
away from politics and religion. We have always done this. We are a
soccer club.”
Management said in a statement that the decision to go to Abu Dhabi
was made because “the team had obligations and wanted to prepare to the
best of our abilities for future matches.”
Recall that in 2009, Israeli tennis player Shahar Pe'er was barred from playing in neighboring Dubai. There was such an uproar over her exclusion that Pe'er was allowed into the 2010 version of the same tournament and reached the semi-finals. Something tells me that Mori won't be allowed to play in the Emirates next year either because no one stood up for him.
After making the “quenelle” salute,
regarded as a neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic gesture, to celebrate scoring a
goal in the English Premier League on Saturday, Anelka posted a picture
of Obama, rapper Jay Z, and his wife singer Beyonce making a similar
gesture.
But of course, Obama couldn't have done THAT, could he?
Obama and the two star performers were in fact posing for a picture
doing the well-known “brush off the shoulders” hip-hop move at a NYC
fundraiser, which has no connection to the quenelle.
No, of course, they were just brushing off dandruff.
And besides, Anelka has a history of this stuff.
Israel’s Sport 2 TV Channel, which broadcast the game and whose
commentator condemned Anelka for the signal, said the soccer player had
previously been photographed with Dieudonné making the salute.
French soccer player Nicolas Anelka, who plays for the British West Bromwich Albion team, may be facing a lengthy ban (not lengthy enough) after giving a Nazi salute as a goal scoring celebration in a British Soccer League game on Saturday.
The 34-year-old striker thrust his straightened right arm downwards while tapping his bicep with the other hand after scoring a goal in a game in Britain between his West Bromwich Albion team and West Ham United.
The gesture - an imitation of a salute frequently used by a French comedian friend of Anelka's who has been convicted several times for anti-Semitic public comments - was immediately and widely condemned.
France's sports minister, Valerie Fourneyron, called it a "shocking, sickening provocation" and said there is "no place for anti-Semitism and inciting hatred on the football pitch".
British media reported that the Football Association was investigating the incident, while the European Jewish Congress demanded English Premier League officials ban Anelka.
"This salute is merely a lesser known Nazi salute and we expect the same kind of punishment to be handed down by the authorities as if Anelka had made the infamous outstretched arm salute," said European Jewish Congress president Moshe Kantor in a statement.
Online, a storm brewed, with some Twitter users calling Anelka, a former member of France's national team, "loathsome" and "racist".
Anelka himself took to Twitter to try to defuse the row, saying in messages in French and in English: "This gesture was just a special dedication to my comedian friend Dieudonne."
West Bromwich Albion's coach, Keith Downing, echoed that in a
post-match press conference in which he said the footballer was "totally
surprised" by the backlash.
Anelka's salute, Downing said, was "dedicated to a French comedian he
knows very, very well... He is totally unaware of what the problems
were or the speculation that has been thrown around."
Either the coach is a fool or he is a damned liar - either way he should be suspended as well. French courts have fined Dieudonne seven times for anti-Semitism - including this gesture - and he may yet be banned from performing in France.
French Interior Minister Manuel Valls released a statement Saturday
in which he said he would seek to ban Dieudonné's performances
altogether.
"Despite a conviction for public defamation, hate speech and racial
discrimination, Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala no longer seems to recognize any
limits," the statement, read, according to France 24.
"Consequently, the interior minister has decided to thoroughly
examine all legal options that would allow a ban on Dieudonné’s public
gatherings, which no longer belong to the artistic domain, but rather
amount to a public safety risk."
FIFA, the world soccer federation, is threatening to expel Israel over its refusal to allow 12 Arab National Federation teams into the 'Palestinian territories' to play in the West Asian Football Federation under-17 championship tournament that was due to begin on Thursday. But Israel didn't refuse to allow the entire teams in - only certain suspicious individuals.
During President Blatter’s recent “diplomatic mission” to Ramallah on Sunday, The Jewish Chronicle
reported that the FIFA president relayed the threats of PFA’s leader
Jibril Rajub that he would call on delegates at FIFA’s upcoming congress
to expel Israel if the matter is not resolved.
Rajoub told reporters, "We ask [FIFA] for a red card, because the
yellow card has been raised now for a long time." He added, "We are
clinging to the red card to take away the Israeli occupation's
legitimacy and we will not accept any compromise."
The threats came when Israel denied representatives of the West Asian
Football Federation (WAFF), including 12 Arab national football
associations, permits to enter the PA territories to play in the WAFF
Under-17's Championship, that was due to begin Thursday.
“Three managers of the Jordanian football union, two UAE
representatives and 13 managers and players from Iraq were refused
entry,” Rajoub said.
Rajoub reportedly told AFP that WAFF called upon FIFA to "put pressure on Israel to issue the necessary permits" for the tournament.
Israel is not the only country the FIFA has threatened in the past.
The country of Cameroon was suspended last week over government
interference in the country’s football federation. “If Israel is not
careful the only team it will be able to play is Cameroon,” Blatter told
Israel Football Association Chairman Avi Luzon.
Blatter continued to say that this only a warning for Israel, “I hope
we won’t need to suspend Israel. The Euro Under-21 tournament in Israel
was a huge success and it’s a shame that everything would be ruined. We
are not talking about a yellow card but a warning.”
The sanction is ridiculous, but then so was the sanction against Cameroon (which was lifted in July).
There had been confusion within Cameroon football before the ban with federation elections postponed on several occasions.
When the elections did go ahead, Iya Mohamed was
re-elected president despite the fact he is being detained by the
authorities in Cameroon.
He is being investigated after being accused of embezzling money at state-owned Cotton Development Company.
Soon after the election results were announced, Fecafoot's elections appeals committee declared them void.
In the aftermath, John Begheni Ndeh announced himself
head of the federation and started work with the help of police, which
was deemed as political interference by Fifa.
Every country has the right to control its borders - even in the face of a soccer federation.
The WAFF's under-21 tournament is scheduled for the 'Palestinian territories' in October so look forward to more of this.
The picture at the top is a reminder of how the soccer stadium in Gaza (paid for by FIFAtwice) was being used nine months ago today.
