In local news, yesterday, the Palestinian soccer team held its first home game, a friendly match against Jordan. Until now, home games have been played in Jordan or elsewhere, but now they have a stadium in Ramallah.

FIFA, the international football association, was represented at the game by its head, Seth Blatter. If I could meet him, I'd have to ask him where are the teams from Basque, Kurdistan, Tibet, Chechnya and a few other places. After all, the Palestinian team is the only non-national team recognized by the organization. No other people wanting a State (ignoring, of course, the Pals already have one in Jordan) have been granted that favor.

Why? Gosh, it couldn't be that the Pals are the only Stateless people who openly say their goal is the destruction of the single Jewish State, could it? After all, those Europeans have never been known for antisemitism, have they? Oh, yeah, right. Never mind...
