<\/a>Palestinian Authority Terror Supporter Jibril Rajoub Should Be Removed From FIFA \u2014 Permanently<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nItamar Marcus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The US and Canada should be commended for refusing to grant a visa to see the World Cup to the antisemite and Palestinian Authority (PA) official Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Football Association. Rajoub is also the PA\u2019s representative to FIFA (International Federation of Football Association).<\/span><\/p>\n Since his release from Israeli prison in 1985 in an exchange of Palestinian terrorists for Israeli hostages, Rajoub has glorified and supported terror against Israelis while spreading hate and antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n After Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) submitted a formal complaint to FIFA with evidence that Rajoub was a terror supporter, he was suspended from FIFA for a year<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Now that Rajoub has repeatedly supported the atrocities of October 7, as is documented below, and continues to spread antisemitism, FIFA must expel him permanently and distance itself from Rajoub\u2019s vile hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n After Israel killed Saleh Al-Arouri, a Hamas leader and planner of the October 7, 2023, atrocities, Rajoub openly glorified the dead terror mastermind, lauding him as:<\/span><\/p>\n the extraordinary national leader who was always extraordinary in the way of his struggle [i.e., terror]. I am among the believers in his ideology, his way, and his activity.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Al-Arouri\u2019s \u201cway and activities\u201d in which Rajoub believes included planning rape, beheadings, burning families alive, and the murder of nearly 1,200 on October 7, 2023. This is what Rajoub was honoring.<\/span><\/p>\n Rajoub has also said that Hamas\u2019 October 7 massacre and launch of war were a successful rite of passage for Hamas:<\/span><\/p>\n Our brothers in Hamas \u2014 what they did on Oct. 7 made them part of the Palestinian national self-liberation movement.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He referred to the October 7 atrocities as \u201cacts of heroism,\u201d while calling it a defensive war for which Israel was responsible for all the deaths. He has later added that Israel is so evil that \u201cif Hitler were to come, he would learn Nazism and fascism from Netanyahu.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, in one of his outbursts, in which he exposed his vile antisemitism, Rajoub said:<\/span><\/p>\n The Americans, Europeans, and others were deceived to think that the Jew is a victim. The truth is that he is a criminal, a terrorist, and a distorted form of the fascism and Nazism of the last century.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The US and Canada correctly refused to grant Rajoub, the Palestinian FIFA representative, a visa to see the World Cup games in their countries. Mexico, possibly unaware of who he was, enabled Rajoub to come.<\/span><\/p>\n Mexico should expel this terror supporter from its country, and FIFA should expel Rajoub from FIFA, permanently this time.<\/span><\/p>\n PMW is also submitting a complaint with all this information to the Israeli Police, so that Rajoub can be put on trial for possible violations of Israel\u2019s counter-terrorism law.<\/span><\/p>\n Many examples of Rajoub\u2019s hate and terror support appear on PMW\u2019s website<\/a>. The above video is a short collection of some of Rajoub\u2019s antisemitic hatred and his support for October 7, and the transcription follows below:<\/span><\/p>\n The Jew is not \u201ca victim\u201d but \u201ca criminal, a terrorist\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: <\/b>\u201cThe Americans, Europeans, and others were deceived to think that the Jew is a victim.
