Marx bless the Scots


"A seriously uncomfortable afternoon" for Israel's sporting ambassadors in Scotland

According to the Herald on Sunday, "It wasn't much fun being an Israeli footballer at Tynecastle yesterday. Lashed by the rain, barracked by pro-Palestinian demonstrators – and seven goals down at half-time...against a noisy backdrop of protests about the imprisonment of Palestinian footballers. The Israeli national anthem was jeered, and the players booed...the demonstrators' chants for Scotland to score 10"

"Free Mahmoud Sarsak" was interspersed throughout ninety minutes of non-stop chanting with "Without guns, you're rubbish" and multiple versions of "Boycott apartheid Israel".   (thanks Robert)
