A Great Cartoon, Anti-Semitic Outrage From UEFA
Posted on: Saturday, September 04, 2004
Difficult to believe but get this: one of Israel's biggest soccer teams, Macabi, was scheduled to play a match on the eve of Rosh HaShanah. Macabi remonstrated with UEFA and asked it to reschedule--surely a simple request. You know what the response was? "Israel will have to decide between going to the synagogue and going to soccer." If the club which is almost entirely Jewish elects to observe the new year, it faces expulsion from UEFA for several years. This comes on top of several incidences of UEFA teams refusing to play in Israel out of safety concerns and which UEFA was more than happy to sanction. What a bunch of pathetic motherfuckers. I hope the Macabi management will have the courage to say to UEFA "kiss our Jewish ass."
On a lighter note, I was recommended I had a look at this "presentation" {grin} which I grudgingly did thinking it was just a waste of time. But it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while. It's a bitch to download if you're on dial-up (3.5MB) but it sure as hell beats all the silly mp3 you waste your bandwidth on and I promise you, it'll be worth every second of it. Check it out here.
Have a shavua tov and shalom...
