This is just one manifestation of the anti-Semitism that is all-pervasive in British society, and is taken for granted by all too many people there. Its ubiquity may be one reason why that nation’s authorities are so supine in the face of aggressive Islamic supremacist groups and advancing Islamization: they see the fanatical Jew-hatred that is so prevalent in the Muslim community as something kindred, not something alien. Martin Glenn has apologized, but only because he was a little more open about his Jew-hatred than most. His apology changes nothing, and does nothing to challenge that pervasive anti-Semitism.
“English FA head rebuked for ‘offensive’ Star of David remark,” by Rob Harris, Associated Press, March 4, 2018:
English Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn highlighted the Star of David among the symbols he believes breach soccer laws banning religious and political imagery, a reference that has drawn criticism from the country’s Jewish community.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Jewish Leadership Council, which is led by a former FA executive, said Glenn’s comment was “offensive and inappropriate” and plans to complain to the sport’s national governing body. The Star of David, a symbol of Judaism, features on the Israeli flag which appears on national team kits and is displayed in stadiums.
Glenn succeeded last year in persuading soccer lawmaking body IFAB to change the statutes to ensure poppies commemorating Britain’s war dead were allowed on England jerseys and no longer flouted regulations banning political, religious or personal symbols.
Glenn, a member of the International Football Association, mentioned the Star of David while seeking to explain to reporters why the other slogans, statements or images should still be banned from being displayed on any equipment in the game.
“We have re-written Law 4 of the game so that things like a poppy are OK,” Glenn said. “But things that are going to be highly divisive, and that could be strong religious symbols, it could be the Star of David, it could be the hammer and sickle, it could be a swastika, anything like (Zimbabwe’s former president) Robert Mugabe on your shirt, these are the things we don’t want.”…
“Should we have someone with a UKIP badge, someone with an ISIS badge? That’s why you have to be pretty tough that local, regional, national party organizations cannot use football shirts to represent them,” Glenn said.
