2. Unbelievable perfidity
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (04.19.15)
Is it possible that the NIF, JStreet, JCall, Break the Silence, B'tselem and other pro Palestinian NGOs are supporting this matter or its maybe their idea?
3. Israelis can't play soccer, anyhow.
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (04.22.15)
However, we are number 1 when it comes to taking towels from hotels.
4. Palestinians attack Israel in FIFA
bobakirk ,   orlando fl usa   (05.03.15)
This report claims that 'Once again the Israelis and Palestinians have taken politics onto the soccer field'. In fact, it is the Palestinians alone who are using sports for the political purpose of excluding Israel from international football. Sports can bring nations together symbolically and allow personal relationships to develop but the Arab world and many Moslem nations refuse to play sports with Israelis. This petty enmity is despicable and the Palestinians should be suspended from FIFA for abusing its openness to all nations to play together. I hope that all Western nations will fight against this Palestinian hate of Israel even on the sports field.
