    Possibly. My random question;

    Should more English players play abroad?

    Never understood how their football clubs are allowed to enter european competition's .

    Their inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest is a strange one too .

    Better leave it right there as Labour man , my account will be hacked and I'll be outed as anti semitic in tomorrow's Daily Heil .

    I think you mean the Sunday Times.

    As for Israel, they are in Eurovision because they pay the fees to be in that bonkers club for luvvies, simple as that.

    It's because they are in the European Broadcasting Union.

    Mind you they let Australia take part anyway now.

    They also keep letting Norway enter who have twice scored nil points.

    On the Football Manager game they list each club and nation’s rival teams. For Israel it was Iran, Egypt, Saudi, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq...and so on and so on haha. So maybe it’s a security thing.

    But then they have Kazakhstan too and that’s a right long way away and no particular rivalry issues

    And in answer to the original quesion, yes maybe some. There seems to be an over-labelling of all sorts of things, though most of it seems linked to twitter hysteria. If you chat to anyone quietly in person, even a stranger who you disagree with, it’s rarer to get into that labelling hysteria I think

    Because someone is anti-Zionist does not make them anti-semitic.

    True, but either way they probably think it’s a good idea to delete everything on their Facebook account.
