Leftists endlessly kowtow to jihadis. How embarrassed they will be when those whom they assumed were their allies, and indeed, proteges, turn on them.
“FIFA hospitality site removes ‘occupied Palestinian territories’ from sales agent list,” Jerusalem Post, August 10, 2022:
The sales agent in the “occupied Palestinian territories” was seemingly removed from the list of agents on FIFA’s hospitality package sales website for the 2022 World Cup on Wednesday after users noticed earlier that the site had failed to mention Israel at all on its list of sales agents.
Israelis who wish to purchase a hospitality package for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which is taking place this November, will see that the package being sold by Winterhill Hospitality lists the country as “Palestinian Territory, Occupied,” and does not have an option listed as Israel. The realization had sparked outrage in Israeli media, although a number of other countries, such as Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia, are also not mentioned on the site.
Israeli businessmen who entered the site were amazed to see that Israel’s name had disappeared, Ynet reported.
Qatar, according to its commitments to FIFA, is obliged to give the same treatment to all countries in the world, without omitting names or flags, the report also said.
Israel-World Cup background
Israel had previously struck a deal with FIFA in June that would allow Israelis to travel to Qatar to attend the World Cup, which marks the first time that Israelis will be accepted into the country without using a foreign passport, as fans will be able to apply for a Fan ID online after buying tickets. The ID would serve as an entry visa and allow booking flights and accommodation….

Shame on Winterhill Hospitality. The business world condemns this betrayal and breach of contract.
They worked the details out with the Israelis earlier this year.
Their word cannot be trusted in the business world.

FIFA hospitality site for World Cup in Qatar lists ‘Occupied Palestinian Territories,’ not Israel
……………………………
Disgusting but no surprise, considering FIFA decided to hold the World Cup in this appalling Islamic crap hole. Stadiums were built with slave labor.
“Qatar is using slave labor to build soccer stadiums. Now, it wants to host the Olympics”

I hope that Jewish and female fans–and Infidels in general–watch their backs if they attend.

Dear Israel
Give up soccer, and adapt sports like American Football, Baseball, Basketball, et al. Start new leagues in all 3 which can include non-woke American sportsmen and women

I take your point, Infidel. But soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Israelis should not have to give this up.
And Israel plays with the European Confederation because most Muslim lands will not play with them. This also means that little Israel rarely qualifies for international tournaments like the World Cup, since they face some of the toughest teams in the world to qualify. If they faced Middle Eastern teams they would generally do quite well.
