England to play Israel at football

Ladies Double Luge | 27.01.2006 12:28 | Repression | Social Struggles

Zionist national team will be coming to London in Euro 2008 qualifying.

England have been drawn in the same group as Israel in qualifying for the Euro 2008 European Championship qualifying. This means the representatives of Israel will have to pay a visit to Wembley some time in the next 18 months, along with a 93,000 spectators and a massive Europe-wide TV audience.

I suggest joining the ticket queue as soon as possible, so as to make sure you can get seats near the pitch.

Because of the excellent view. Obviously.

who are the racists who place Israel in Europe?

27.01.2006 13:50

Why is this middle-east terrorist state allowed to participate within EUROPEAN competitions. Whoops, I forgot- while people that state the FACT that zionists control the UK, France, Germany, Russia, etc are accused of being 'racist' (ironic, given that zionists invented the pseudo-science of 'race' to justify US slave-trade in the early 19th century), we must ignore examples like this that PROVE the fact.

The inclusion of Israel in European events is as sickening as would be the inclusion of an African country just because it happened to be under the control of 'whites'.

One more thing, I assume the football governing body ensures that members of the Israeli team have NEVER served in terrorist organisations like the IOF.

Insurance definition

Most holiday insurance policies consider a 'Europe wide cover' policy to include

"Europe means all countries of the European Union (excluding the United Kingdom)
and Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Balearic Islands, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Croatia, Egypt, Eire, Gibraltar, Iceland, Israel,
Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Madeira, Moldova, Monaco, Morocco,
Norway, Romania, Russia (European), San Marino, Serbia and Montenegro,
Switzerland, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Vatican, The Azores."

This lot however exclude israel, Lybia, Tunisia etc

"Area 2: Europe, including countries west of the Ural
Mountains, the Azores, Canary Islands, Iceland,
Madeira and countries bordering the Mediterranean
Sea (except Algeria, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Libya)"

 http://www.travelinsurance.co.uk/shared/pdf/TI-Policy-Wording.pdf (quite a big file!)

They aint all under the control of 'whites' (whatever you definition of that is), well not yet at least!

Good Game

Get as many Palestinian Flags in the stands. Let's show them what we think of their policy.

Then again we should also bring Iraqi flags in protest for the English.

Its hard to leave politics out of sports when u got the likes of David Beckham praising the Queen and the job the troops are doing in Iraq in news conferences, and pledging the England football team support to those people. They brought politics to football its just a matter of showing both the players and the people of Iraq that they dont represent us in what they say.

weapon of the revolution

Israel should be as isolated as South Africa was.
I've never been to Wembley - is getting on the pitch still viable ? That would instantly get a bigger audience than virtually any other protest. Palestinian flags are a must for the cameras. Adapt some existing chants too - 'who killed all the pals' rather than 'who ate all the pies' type thing.
Maybe it's easier to sabotage indirectly, hitting the lights or the getting the referees beforehand, pouring crap chemicals on the grass or something.

Are you lot being real?

You guys are racist and sick, England is one of the most racist nations alongside the US, why shouldnt Israel be included in european competition, as I can recall has any english side beaten or even drawn against your great enemies the french, when we are in qualifying groups for Euro Cups to make up the numbers does anyone complain? Were probably gonna win anyways, Brazil all the way for WC Glory, if not them then Argentina with the new wonderkid Messi, No chance for England!
