Well that's a positive I suppose, but it just feels like it's antagonistic, raising the ante, trying to get one over Maccabi, is ill-timed and I wish they'd leave football alone and clear off.
Like it or not, politics will always overlap with sport especially when it is of an international nature. 1980 Olympics in Moscow, proposed South African cricket tour 1970, Berlin Olympics 1936. The ancient Olympics in Greece were every bit as political.
Israeli teams have participated in UEFA tournaments since the early 1990s for a reason. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, and Lebanon are all closer geographically to mainland Europe.
