Can you imagine it? it seems so unrealistic for such sadism to exist. Shooting two Palestinian soccer players in their FEET multiple times? Causing them to NEVER be able to play soccer again, something they dedicated their whole lives to?? You can not make this stuff up. This is cruelty beyond belief. Israel has no place in Fifa, or anywhere else for that matter. They will continue to systematically deny Palestinians any hope, dreams, or future they may have and until the international community does something about it and pays attention like the recent kidnapping then they will continue to trump over human rights with impunity. This is only the latest instance of the targeting of Palestinian soccer players by the Israeli army and security forces. Death, injury or imprisonment has been a reality for several members of the Palestinian national team over the last five years. Just imagine if members of Spains top-flight World Cup team had been jailed, shot or killed by another country and imagine the international media outrage that would ensue. Imagine if prospective youth players for Brazil were shot in the feet by the military of another nation. But, tragically, these events along the checkpoints have received little attention on the sports page or beyond. m.thenation/blog/178642-after-latest-incident-israels-future-fifa-uncertain
