# 281 – Fifa and Israel

Fifa and Israel

Before the vote for FIFA president – the whole things a b. disgrace. They should rip it up and start again, but with so much money at stake, it’s happening again…

Corruption oozes out of every crack.

Qatar World Cup is a farce – and a sign that just about every nation is culpable.

You may not have noticed, but amongst all this, the Palestinian FA head has been trying to get Israel booted out of FIFA for occasionally restricting movement of their footballers from Gaza to the West Bank.

In other words, for treating them as normal citizens during very dangerous times…(And yes, one Israeli team has rightly been punished for some racist policies).

As Groucho Marx once said – I don’t want to be a member of a club that would have me as its member.

Today’s cartoon in the Jerusalem Post –

       Shia Muslims are at war with Sunni to decide which is the real faith.

       But which IS the real faith?

       The one that wins the war, of course…
