Asia.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The arrests were ALL in connection with CONCACAF business advertising, with the exception of the Qatar 2022 vote (Where USA lost) and the Moscow 2018 (where England lost)\u00a0 and arrests could have been made in years if not months leading up to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to interrupt the FIFA congress was probably made by USA following the Israeli response to the Palestinian FA decision in April 2015 to submit its motion to FIFA congress.\u00a0 USA appear to have timed its intervention to put the focus of the FIFA congress on corruption in FIFA, even though the allegations appear to refer to issues of corruption involving only USA and Brazil. \u00a0 (It was reported that the Israeli government instructed 100 embassies to mobilise to combat the threat). \u00a0 Not exactly the same issue but the same impact as the\u00a0 &#8220;Shock Doctrine&#8221; as identified by Naomi Klein.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect Apartheid Israel will soon start to implement the methods of apartheid South Africa as they become more and more desperate to silence the anti apartheid movement as our campaign increases its scope and impact.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/%20https:\/\/youtu.be\/Y21WUTR3fC4\" target=\"_blank\">This is the video we made on 28 May in Zurich<\/a><b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Palestinians were NEVER going to force a vote for SUSPENSION of Israel.\u00a0\u00a0 They made it clear that the outset that they &#8220;believe Israel deserve expulsion&#8221;\u00a0 but they were making a massive concession (suspension call) to Israel hoping that the Israelis would reciprocate.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is a repeat of the Palestinian Football Association approach at the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8,9],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-107824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine","category-politics","category-sport","tag-english"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.12.2","language":"ar","enabled_languages":["gb","es","fr","pt","ru","no","ar"],"languages":{"gb":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"fr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"pt":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ru":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"no":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107824"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107824\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballagainstapartheid.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
