Complaint to FIFA Disciplinary Committee about the exploitation of football for
the promotion and glorification of terrorism by FIFA Delegate, Jibril Rajoub,
the Palestinian Football Association and its officials.
KICK TERRORISM OUT OF FOOTBALL!
The Israel Institute for Strategic Studies researches and exposes important regional and
global strategic and security developments. These include issues relating to terrorism.
We are writing to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to highlight a history of more than fifteen
years of the exploitation of football for the promotion of terrorism by Jibril Rajoub, the
Palestinian Football Association, its officials and teams.
We are certain that, given the facts, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee must come to the
inevitable conclusion that the above parties have been in a prolonged and serious breach of
FIFA ethics and rules and that their behavior is in grave contravention of the traditions and
purity of football.
If it was right for FIFA to launch a campaign to Kick Racism out of Football, how much
more important is it for FIFA to launch a similar campaign to KICK TERRORISM OUT
OF FOOTBALL.
more important is it for FIFA to launch a similar campaign to KICK TERRORISM OUT
OF FOOTBALL.
With the racism campaign, FIFA acted to protect people being insulted or racially
abused at football events. How much more serious is it when people are killed and maimed
by terrorists glorified at Palestinian football events, by their clubs and leading officials?
abused at football events. How much more serious is it when people are killed and maimed
by terrorists glorified at Palestinian football events, by their clubs and leading officials?
Here are a few examples of terror-promotion inside Palestinian football;
1. In 2007, a football tournament was organized in the Palestinian-controlled town of Tulkarm.
This tournament was held in the honor of Ziyad Da’as. Da’as was the leader of the Tanzim
terror faction of Fatah. He planned and executed a terror attack on a Bat-Mitzvah (a Jewish
13th birthday) celebration in Hadera which left six dead and dozens wounded on January
17, 2002. Da’as also participated in the kidnapping and murder of two Israeli citizens,
Etgar Zeituni and Moti Dayan, in Tulkarm in January 2001. Yet this terrorist is hailed as a
hero and a martyr in Palestinian football.

Al-Quds football team. This event was held under the auspices of the Palestinian
Authority to commemorate the anniversary of the birthday of Dalal Mughrabi. Mughrabi
was one of thirteen (13) Fatah terrorists that hijacked an Israeli bus between Haifa
and Tel Aviv on March 9, 1978. As a result of this terror attack, 37 Israeli civilians were
killed including 12 children and 70 were wounded. She is considered a hero and martyr
and has been celebrated in football events.

15. Our records on the promotion of terrorism through Palestinian football go back fifteen
(15) years to 2002 when the Palestinian Authority sponsored a football competition in
Tulkarm to celebrate their terrorists. In this tournament, eight football teams were
named in honor of a terrorist. One of the teams was named after Mahmud Marmash, a
suicide bomber who murdered five Israeli citizens and maimed 74 others when he
exploded his suicide belt outside the entrance of the HaSharon shopping mall in
Netanya. My wife, Carol, narrowly avoided death. She was on her way to the mall
when I called her and asked her to return to our office. Had she continued she would
have arrived at the entrance at the same time as this suicide bomber honored as a hero
and a martyr in his Tulkarm football tournament.
Another terrorist honored at this football competition was Abu al-Basset Oudeh. Oudeh
was the suicide bomber that travelled from Tulkarm to my hometown of Netanya and blew
up twenty nine (29) people and injured another 64 civilians in the Park Hotel as
they gathered to celebrate the Jewish festival of Passover. This event became known
as the Passover Massacre. Among the killed were Holocaust survivors. It was as a
result of this outrage that I became a co-founder of the Netanya Terror Victims
Organization to help the bereaved families of the dead and the injured.
Meanwhile, Palestinian football events and Jibril Rajoub celebrate their “heroes” and
glorify their deeds!

Article 3 of the FIFA Statutes states that;

The basic principle is reflected in Article 24 of FIFA’s Code of Ethics which states;

Jibril Rajoub, as the highest responsible official in Palestinian football and a FIFA
Delegate, has been deliberately delinquent in abusing FIFA’s Code of Ethics and conduct
and, in his words and actions, has promoted violence, terrorism and insults that have
harmed and killed hundreds of Israeli civilians, men, women and children.

Here are some of the statements made by Jibril Rajoub;
1. On July 17, 2013, the Ma’an independent Palestinian news agency reported: “Chairman
of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, eulogized released prisoner,
Ahmad Jabarah Abu Sukkar, saying, ‘Before his pure soul, we emphasize our
adherence to the principles and goals that he dedicated his long life to protect.’”
of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, eulogized released prisoner,
Ahmad Jabarah Abu Sukkar, saying, ‘Before his pure soul, we emphasize our
adherence to the principles and goals that he dedicated his long life to protect.’”
The “principles and goals” that Abu Sukkar set were that, in 1975, he loaded a
refrigerator full of explosives and detonated it in the center of Jerusalem killing fifteen
(15) people and injuring over sixty (60) people. After this terrorist’s death in 2013, Jibril
Rajoub vowed “to continue his way of struggle.” Two months later, Jibril Rajoub,
in a speech that was aired on the official Palestinian Authority TV channel, said that
Abu Sukkar was “a legend who walked on earth, the most noble among the
noble…I cannot but say that Abu Sukkar lived as a giant and died as a giant.”

2. On November 20, 2013, Jibril Rajoub attended an event held at the Halhul Municipality
in honor of three released terrorists. A published photograph (see PMW Complaint
document, page 7) shows Jibril Rajoub with three terrorists. Two of the terrorists,
Ziyad Mahmoud Ghneimat and Mustafa Ghneimat, had each been given life sentences
by an Israeli court for the shooting and murder of two Israelis, Meir ben Yair and Michal
Cohen in a forest on June 27, 1985. Michal Cohen was a 32 year-old nurse who left a
husband and two small children. The third terrorist, Najeh Muqbil, was serving a
sentence of 38 years for the murder of Yaakov Shalom on May 20, 1990. They were
released early by Israel as part of a deal to persuade the Palestinian to return to
peace negotiations. Instead, Jibril Rajoub glorified these murderers and presented
plaques in their honor.

3. Leila Khaled is a Palestinian terrorist who was arrested and convicted of two plane
hijackings. In one of her hijacking attempts she was overpowered by Israeli security
guards as she was holding hand grenades in her hands while the plane was in the air.
On August 16, 2015, Jibril Rajoub said on official Palestinian Authority TV, “ I spoke
about Leila Khaled, the fighter, the hero, the symbol…There are three sacred things
that should not be maligned – the fighter, the Martyr, and the prisoner, They are sacred.
We should always speak positively about them, whether they are from PFLP,
Fatah, Hamas, etc.”

4. On October 17, 2015, during a wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israeli
civilians, Jibril Rajoub appeared on official Palestinian TV and referred directly to the
terror attacks calling them “individual acts of bravery, and I am proud of them. I
congratulate everyone who carried them out and I say to you, we are
proud of you…Whoever confronts, fights, dies as a Martyr, is arrested or injured, his
identity is known. What I mean is that the fighter, the prisoner, or the Martyr, they are
assets to the entire Palestinian people.”

referring to terrorist murderers as “heroes.” He said;

This leaves us, and FIFA, to ask what is the difference between Jibril Rajoub’s promotion
and incitement to terrorism and that of ISIS’s Omar Al-Baghdadi, or Osama Bin Laden’s
past exhortations to Al-Qaida terrorism?
