Sheer ignorance and bias!

The FACT of the matter is that Israel NEVER has banned, EVER, an arab or Muslim from participating in a sports event in Israel. EVER. The opposite is true, they go out of their way to welcome Muslims and hostile arabs. There are several Israeli soccer teams that are Jewish and Muslims together. This statement is SO out of line I am outraged.

How many Iranians and other arab states have refused to compete against Israeli atheletes in the olympics over the past years? Try looking that up. Please do some reading and come back here to take back your ignorant and wrong statement!
