Football arena in Jerusalem is “temporary home court” for Israeli players
The sports pages of the official PA daily recently described a match between the Palestinian team Bnei Sakhnin and the Israeli team Beitar Jerusalem. The Israeli team was referred to as “the Zionist Beitar” and the football arena in Jerusalem was called the team’s “temporary home court” because “it does not and will never belong to them":
“Muhammad [the player], takes revenge for [Prophet] Muhammad, peace be upon Him. The [Palestinian] Bnei Sakhnin [football team] defeated the Zionist Beitar [Jerusalem football team] in its temporary home court [in Jerusalem]. Yes, this court is temporary, because it does not and will never belong to them. But the much-loved Sakhnin team proved itself to be a Palestinian team par excellence, around which millions of our people gather. This proves that they are firmly planted in our historic land, while the other side is foreign. Sakhnin is proof of Palestinian territorial unity. It is the sister [city] of Jerusalem, Gaza, Rafiah, Jenin, Umm Al-Fahm and Nazareth. They curse us and the last prophet [Muhammad]. May Allah disfigure them. [They are] racists to the bone... Glory to Sakhnin. The one who scored [the victory] for Sakhnin was a player named Muhammad – Muhammad Ghadir. He scored two goals against the invaders. Thank you Muhammad, and may Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad.”
