During a World Cup matchup today between Iran and New Zealand in Los Angeles, security personnel confiscated an Israeli flag while allowing Palestinian flags to be flown.
FIFA rules do indicate the only flags which can be flown at matches are the two countries playing each other on the field.
So why were Palestinian flags allowed to be flown?
Does FIFA consider Gaza to be part of Iran?
Given Hamas deep ties to the Iranian regime perhaps they are perceived as one in the same.
After all, the raison d'etre of the Iranian regime and Hamas is to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth while killing as many Jews as possible.
The man with the Israeli flag made the understatement of the century when he said, "It seems like a little anti-Semitism is playing a part here."
