If Israel has to go that extra
mile for peace, after multiple offers of concessions were roundly rejected, then
the Palestinians, who are so far behind, have to go a full marathon distance
just to catch up.
But they are not on the start
line. They are not even on the track. Instead, they are in the judges’ stand
screaming to have Israel disqualified and removed from the race.
In sporting terms, take FIFA, for
example. As Israel uncovers Hamas couriers and terrorist smugglers among the
Palestinian football squad, their former terrorist head-honcho, Jibril Rajoub,
exploits FIFA as a political football. He does it not to advance Palestinian
facilities or equipment but to get Israel thrown out on spurious grounds.
Cynically, he has done his math and reckons he has the votes to have Israel
boycotted.
FIFA, once famous for its “Kick
Racism out of Sport,” is now being asked to adopt a new slogan, “Kick
the Jewish State out of Football,” on July 4.
Should that tragedy occur you
will know that the Palestinian cause has brought their anti-Semitic racism to
the pinnacle of world sport.
If FIFA red card Israel, they
will hang the gold medal of football racism round the neck of Palestine.
