The same is true of Israeli academics, scientists, artists and performers…

Sports boycotts were very effective against apartheid South Africa, where football (i.e. soccer) is extremely popular.

Distant western outposts, whether in the mideast or deep in the austral, feel isolated from the mother hive in the northern temperate zone. Cutting off contact with them messes with their minds in a highly productive manner.

Boycotting Israeli athletes until Palestinian athletes are free to travel puts the onus on Israel to change its racist/zionist [sorry for redundancy] policies.

Israeli athletes represent a state, and include Israeli Palestinians.

Palestine is not yet a state, and is held back from that by Hamas.

There may never be a state named Palestine. There may become an autonomous region called Palestine under a Jordanian sovereignty.

All Israelis should be boycotted, whatever they do and whereever they appear. Exactly as we did with the South Africans, until the Apartheid-regime crumbled.

Note Witty's twisted racist shyster lawyering.

He could have used precisely the same arguments to oppose the boycott of S. African athletics.

Jews that deny the intrinsic racism and genocidalism of Zionism are racists guilty of aiding and abetting Zionist genocidalism and terrorism.

Simply put, those were the rules that they accepted in order to host the tournament. They knew going in what the rules were. this is not the first tournament they have hosted.
When are we going to start boycotts on: the Egyptians for their wretched treatment of the Coptic Christians? the Saudis for their treatment of woman? How about the Russians for their slaughter, torture rape and every other imaginable crime against hundreds of thousands Chechens? Not to mention China,the ethnic cleansing of Tibet and The wholesale killing, maiming and raping of millions of Christians and Animists by Muslims in Africa.

I can see the rationale for boycotting Israeli sportsmen and whoever for not letting the Gazans out, but then the same should be applied to the Egyptians, who are the second party to the Gaza blockade.

More shyster lawyering from racist Jewish Zionist apologists.

Zionists invariably argue that they should be able to get away with the same crimes that others commit. The German Nazis invariably pointed out in the 1930s that Jim Crow was worse than the Nuremberg Laws.

Demanding action against all wrongs in order to fight one wrong is simply a dodge that creates paralysis.

For Americans the issue is simple. Zionism and the State of Israel constitute an evil that we can eliminate simply by ceasing to support it.

Imposition of total sanctions on the State of Israel as a racist genocidal terrorist State would lead to its collapse within four months when international loans come due.

Americans have no ethical obligations to the conglomeration of Israeli Zionist criminals that are squatting on other people's land. In fact, the USA should probably seize them and then rent them out as convict labor as part of the effort to clawback all the fraudulent costs that American Jewish Zionists have manipulated the US government into expending on behalf of Zionism.

The US legal system is now sufficiently developed that all Zionists can be arrested and all their assets seized. Applying US anti-terrorism laws uniformly is an efficient and just mechanism to fix the US economy that Zionist manipulations have ruined.

As for the tennis tournament, corrupt Jewish social networking has put criminal racist Jewish Zionists in the position of writing or influencing the rules.

The rules of the tournament are simply another expression of racist Jewish Zionist criminality and are therefore inapplicable and illegitimate. The UAE should be commended for willing to support justice over racist Jewish Zionist shyster lawyering.
