Israel is ever more desperate for people to like it. The Zionist state behaves, as the Angry Arab explains, like a loser kid in high school who is begging to tag along with people whom do not like him very much:

Israel reminds me of those really annoying and unpopular kids in high schools who beg other kids to take them with them to movies and such. And Israel stinks which makes it even less popular.

What is the Zionist state whining about now? Poor Israel is mad that a friendly between two Brazilian soccer teams will be played in Ramallah in solidarity with the Palestinian people while no match is scheduled for Israel.

The game is organized by the pro-Palestinian Brazilian government, which is every government in the world expecting the United States [and that is starting to change], Micronesia and the Marshall Islands; and will pit two of Brazil’s and the world’s best soccer teams: Sao Paulo’s Corinthians and Rio de Janeiro’s Flamengo.

Israel’s ambassador to Brazil publicly complained and filed a formal complaint with the Brazilian Foreign Minister. “I intend to make the Brazilians understand that if a similar game is not held in Israel, we will see it as an act of ostracism,” he stated.

Despite Israel’s crying, the soccer teams do not and will not play a game in Israel. The Brazilians have made it clear that they will only play in Palestine. Israel fails to understand that the rest of the world does not behave like the United States where a thuggish domestic lobby is there to intimidate. Poor Israel. NOT!

Two final points. Corinthians’ striker is Ronaldo, considered in his prime to be the best player in the world, and he is known for his pro-Palestinian sympathies as his visited the occupied territories in 2005.

And, finally, one of these teams [or maybe another team, I can’t remember exactly] features the word “Habibi” along the jersey’s arm. “Habibi” is, of course, Arabic for lover.

Go Brazil!
