(PIC) Support For Gilad Shalit Shown At World Cup Soccer Match

This picture was taken at one of the World Cup soccer matches in South Africa, I found it while browsing Facebook groups...

Perhaps you do not know but FIFA refused to allow any Gilad Shalit rallies or protests to be aired during their matches or in the stadiums, so these guys took a huge risk of being kicked out of the match and possibly banned...

(NEWS) FIFA Bans Campaign To Free Shalit

"The world soccer federation FIFA has banned the waving of 'Free Shalit' flags at the World Cup, calling it a political act. Fearing lawsuits and political recriminations, the Johannesburg Jewish Community Center called off a planned flag-waving protest at the World Cup finale between Spain and Holland Sunday.

The FIFA decision prevents the flags from being seen by hundreds of millions of viewers throughout the world who are expected to view the championship game. Shalit was kidnapped four years ago last month by Hamas and allied terrorists in an attack on an Israeli army checkpoint at a Gaza crossing."



(BLOG) Opinion: Soccer, Palestine, And Reality

"The FIFA soccer league really embarks on a voyage of pure fantasy when declaring Palestine’s currency to be the Palestinian pound.

There is no such currency. There once was - but it is defunct. You can see it in a museum-like Lucite case outside the Ramallah office of Jihad al-Wazir - described as “a central banker without a bank” - alongside coins from Alexander the Great."
