You can go to anywhere in the world and talk to Muslims and they will all say the same thing about Israel -how they took the Palestinians land, have slaughtered them, and make them live in poverty. It is not racism, they are anti Zionist. Big difference. it would get the same reaction in Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi, any Muslim country. Anyway as you say lets not go down the history of the Middle East road . The club if they had an ounce of sense knew that playing an Israeli would get that response -but they chose to go for cash instead
