Palestine's Jewish Football Team

[Hossfly]

Palestine had a pretty good team in 1939 and again in1947.


Soccer is in the headlines today, but not for positive reasons – 14 FIFA officials have been indicted on corruption charges.

This is especially interesting news to Israeli soccer fans, as FIFA is set to vote this week on whether or not to suspend Israel’s national team from international play. The Palestinian Football Association has accused Israel of breaking FIFA’s rules and introduced to the FIFA congress a motion to suspend Israel.

Of course, Jewish soccer in Israel dates back before the establishment of the state of Israel. This amazing video from 1939 from the British Pathé archive shows footage of a match between Australia and Palestine (which was then occupied by Britain). Note a detail that betrays how much has changed in the Middle East since 1939: the “Palestinian” players feature what look to be Jewish stars on their uniforms. (You may also want to check out this 1947 story from JTA’s Archive about when the Palestine Hapoel team defeated a New York all-star team thanks to Hapoel’s 18-year-old goalie Jacob Chodorov who “starred for the Palestinians.”)

Yup, the label "Palestinian" referred to the Jews of the region.

Arabs would be insulted if you called one a Palestinian.

Palestinian is an invented identity.

If the British Government would revise their present policy in Palestine, end the Zionist con-dominium, put a stop to all alien immigration and grant the People of Palestine — who by Right and Experience are the best judges of what is good and bad to their country — Executive and Legislative powers, the terms of a constitution could be discussed in a different atmosphere. If to-day the People of Palestine assented to any constitution which fell short of giving them full control of their own affairs they would be in the position of agreeing to an instrument of Government which might, and probably would, be used to smother their national life under a flood of alien immigration. -

Yes, the Arab invaders of the British Mandate of Palestine, are writing a letter to the British, and the British are telling them to fuck off. Shove your propaganda and lies up Uranus.

163. The Arabs of Palestine consider themselves as having a "natural" right to that country, although they have not been in possession of it as a sovereign nation.

166. The desire of the Arab people of Palestine to safeguard their national existence is a very natural desire. However, Palestinian nationalism, as distinct from Arab nationalism, is itself a relatively new phenomenon, which appeared only after the division of the "Arab rectangle" by the settlement of the First World War.

 

[montelatici]

What Arab invaders. The Christians and Muslims had been living there for 2,000 years. What the religions of their forefathers was is not germane.

Christians and Muslims invaded Jewish land, while Jews kept coming back for 2000 years. Get it right porkface. LOL.

 

[montelatici]

Not quite. No Jews to speak of in Palestine prior to the European invasion.

"The Romans then destroyed Jerusalem, annexed Judaea as a Roman province, and systematically drove the Jews from Palestine. After 73 AD, Hebrew history would only be the history of the Diaspora as the Jews and their world view spread over Africa, Asia, and Europe."

This thread was not about depriving people from their identity, nationality and rights but it seems that you only show up to express your racist Nazi style worldview, anyway.

Watch Palestine s soccer team play in 1939 Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Very Interesting Hoss,but move forward to the recent Asia World Cup held in Australia.......Palestine amazingly out of 167 Teams in Asia managed to reach the finals(despite every obstruction the Israelis threw at them eg..Not allowing players from the West Bank out of Israel to play,witholding visas until the last miniute and so on.....the rest of the world saw the Israeli behaviour as petty and in bad spirit,let alone seen as very bad sports) Palestine won many friends in Australia as they tried there hardest to play against vastly superior opposition.........the were seen as the underdogs and programmes TV,showed their spirit and determination which parralled sic their determination for freedom against the YOKE of Israel.......The TEAM came across very well and Palestine generally in the minds of Australians........Everything the Israelis did not want of course.....Israel's pedantic behaviour brought much support for Palestine.

And the Australian went out in large numbers at each match to support them,not just folk from the middle east but the general Australian population..it was great to see the Palestinian Flags waving in the crowd....Viva Palestine indeed.Palestine has a long history in Association Football.........like Australia.

As it happens there are Palestinian Teams playing in the Israeli Premier League.................. as an anecdote I played for the Sons of Nazareth way back in 1969 and losing 2v0 with 3 minutes to go I scored a hatrick in the last 2 minutes ..2v3 to the Suns of Nazareth.

The most successful Arab/Palestinian Team is Bnei Sakin who are in the Premier Israeli League,moreover Ahi-Nazareth FC have just been promoted to the Premier League from the second tier,so next year the will also be in the top league.

Ben Sakin after their State Cup win 4-1 in 2004 were the 1st Israeli Football Team to play in a European football competition the UEFA Cup...in the first round they beat Partizan Tirana of Albania 6-1 on agg tbc

O shit Roudy.....for fcuk sake,Jews are not Palestinians but were Jews LIVING IN PALESTINE,since they were evicted in 789 BC,some stayed and became Jews living in Palestine..steve

 

[Roudy]

Not quite. No Jews to speak of in Palestine prior to the European invasion.

"The Romans then destroyed Jerusalem, annexed Judaea as a Roman province, and systematically drove the Jews from Palestine. After 73 AD, Hebrew history would only be the history of the Diaspora as the Jews and their world view spread over Africa, Asia, and Europe."

The Diaspora Jewish Virtual Library

Not really, mental midget. I already told you that is the story of the Jews in the diaspora. I guess you're just going to keep abusing these misinterpreted out of context paragraphs to promote your bullshit IslamoNazi propaganda, until someone calls you on it.

Here it is from the site you love to quote so much, freak:

Myths Facts Israel s Roots Chapter 1 Jewish Virtual Library

A common misperception is that all the Jews were forced into the Diaspora by the Romans after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 C.E. and then, 1,800 years later, the Jews suddenly returned to Palestine demanding their country back. In reality, the Jewish people have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3,700 years.

Even after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and the beginning of the exile, Jewish life in the Land of Israel continued and often flourished. Large communities were reestablished in Jerusalem and Tiberias by the ninth century. In the 11th century, Jewish communities grew in Rafah, Gaza, Ashkelon, Jaffa and Caesarea. The Crusaders massacred many Jews during the 12th century, but the community rebounded in the next two centuries as large numbers of rabbis and Jewish pilgrims immigrated to Jerusalem and the Galilee. Prominent rabbis established communities in Safed, Jerusalem and elsewhere during the next 300 years.

NOW FUCK OFF!
