‘No concessions!’ Palestine to demand FIFA to expel Israel

Palestine will seek Israel’s exclusion from FIFA later in May, the Palestinian football chief said. Jibril Rajoub told Reuters he won’t drop a resolution calling to sanction Israel for “behaving like the neighborhood bully.”

The head of the Palestinian Football Federation and the Palestine Olympic Committee will press ahead with his proposal to European delegates at FIFA's Congress in Zurich on May 29.

"Last year, we dropped the resolution when Europe got involved and the Israelis promised to co-operate in improving the situation,” Paulo Rajoub told Reuters.

Israel is still behaving “like the neighborhood bully, or worse,” he said. He asserted Israel was "persecuting Palestine footballers, athletes and the movement of sporting equipment."

"Enough is enough," Rajoub said.

In 2013 and 2014, Paulo Rajoub agreed to drop similar resolutions when Europe got involved.

"This is the third year in a row this has come up, first in Mauritius, then Brazil and now again," he told Reuters.

But Rajoub said “there is now a feeling Europe cannot sit back and ignore what Israel is doing any longer.”

While Europe may once again step into, Rajoub holds firm to his intention.

“We are close to crossing the bridge and no-one can stop us having the proposal on the agenda even if some people would rather it was not," he said. He "would not make the concessions" he made when withdrawing the previous proposals.

"A year ago I agreed to drop the proposal, I will not do that again. The aggression towards our sportsmen and women in the West Bank and Gaza continues. It is hostile and racist and the time has come to take action," he said.

Palestine will have to gain a three-quarter majority of FIFA's 209 members for its demand and the Palestinian Football Federation head is confident this will happen.

"Don't think just because Israel is in Europe that Europe will support Israel any longer," he said.

"I think [UEFA president] Michel Platini, who has backed Israel in the past, has had enough. He sent us sports equipment which was held by Israel for 16 months and we had to pay $32,000 to get it.”

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has attempted to ease the situation between the countries but failed.

Blatter may go to Israel to try to resolve the crisis, a FIFA spokesman said.

"It is a possibility, not a certainty, but it is a problem the president would like to see resolved,” a statement said as cited by Reuters.

Tensions between Israel and Palestine further deteriorated following the conflict in Gaza last summer, when 2,200 people were killed in 50 days of Israel’s Operation Protective Edge.

The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster.

So Palestinians being racist backing for discrimination against Israeli's footballers, making them culpable for the actions of its Government, by calling for them to be banned.
He claims racism, then is racist himself, doing exactly what he is claiming of the Israeli's.

Hypocrisy and double standards.

The important Web site, Human Rights Voices, carries out the daunting but critical task of exposing the deep and pervasive hypocrisy of the United Nations where Israel is concerned.
Founded and written by Professor Anne Bayefsky, Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, the site chronicles the UN's relentless attacks against the Jewish state and the free pass it gives to many of the world's worst human rights abusers.

Despite Israel's tolerant culture that guarantees basic rights to all its citizens, the country is subject to an unrelenting process of denunciation in UN committees tasked with promoting human rights. Meanwhile, countless instances of flagrant abuses carried out by surrounding Muslim countries are ignored or dispensed with in a hum-drum and toothless manner by committees on which some of the worst human rights abusers sit in judgement.

Recent posts on the Human Rights Voices web site include:

International Criminal Court will investigate Israel, but not genocidal Isis
UN Security Council holds debate on "the Situation in the Middle East," but focus is on Israel
Christian and Jewish leaders criticize UN for failure to act to protect Christians from global persecution


A series of articles on a spate of hangings in Iran are a reminder of the silence of the media as well in the face of gross abuses in Iran. Iran's barbaric treatment of women, including sentencing several to death, has not stopped the Islamic Republic from winning a seat in the UN Women's Agency, making a mockery of the UN's campaign for international women's rights.

Well, as they have trouble leaving Palestine because of Israel, I seriously doubt it.  And I regret to say Vic, you are beginning to sound unhinged.

Would you like to tell me where and when Palestine have attacked the West?

As it pleased you so much had a look.

First one not Palestinians, others against Israel, not THE WEST, so totally fuck up. Now I'm off out. Have fun, so try and cheer up Victor.

Responsibility for the two attacks was later claimed by the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO) in retaliation for Operation Wooden Leg, the Israeli bombing of PLO headquarters in Tunis on 1 October 1985. Libya was accused of funding the terrorists who carried out the attacks; although they denied the charges, they did praise the assaults. According to published reports, sources close to Abu Nidal said Libyan intelligence supplied the weapons and the ANO's head of the Intelligence Directorate's Committee for Special Missions, Dr. Ghassan al-Ali, organized the attacks. Libya denied these charges as well, notwithstanding that it claimed they were "heroic operations carried out by the sons of the martyrs of Sabra and Shatila

As usual Irn missed the point and am glad to see he posts up where these ladies have not been denied yet some wish to deny Israeli's for nothing they have done but only guilt by association, which is basically racis towards the sports Israeli players.

Of course he we see nasty left wing scum try to cause injury and death to the Israeli Hockey team.
