Red card for Rajoub? Israelis bite back with FIFA filing saying he promotes Palestinian terrorism

November 6 – While most of the footballing narrative surrounding the Middle East conflict has been widespread condemnation of Israel, two prominent Israeli research institutes have hit back by lodging an official complaint with FIFA against the head of the Palestinian Football Association for allegedly using sports to promote terrorism and violence. 

The complaint against Palestinian FA boss Jabril Rajoub has been made jointly by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and by Palestinian Media Watch.
