Islamic Jew-hatred — it’s a religious imperative. But that this religiously based nazism should be sanctioned by the world is more egregious. Devout Muslims are taught this hate is somehow righteous — what’s the civilized world’s excuse? Why would any country participate?
Israeli athletes often face difficulties when competing in the Middle East or against Middle Eastern countries, due to Islamic hostility toward the Jewish state.
“Just a few months ago, a World Chess Championship was due to take place in Saudi Arabia,” chess player Lior Aizenberg told Hadashot news. “It was clear to everyone that outstanding Israeli chess players would not be able to participate.”

7-year-old chess champ can’t compete in Tunisia tourney because she’s Israeli
Liel Levitan is invited instead to play in alternative competition in Israel
By TOI staff, July 2018:
Schoolgirl Liel Levitan from Haifa is unable to accept an invitation to play in the World Chess Championship because host nation Tunisia will not allow Israelis to compete, it was reported Thursday.
This is not the first time Israeli chess players have been denied the opportunity to participate in international tournaments due to their nationality.
Israeli athletes often face difficulties when competing in the Middle East or against Middle Eastern countries, due to hostility toward the Jewish state.
“Just a few months ago, a World Chess Championship was due to take place in Saudi Arabia,” chess player Lior Aizenberg told Hadashot news. “It was clear to everyone that outstanding Israeli chess players would not be able to participate.”
Aizenberg has instead founded the World Alternative Championship, which takes place in Israel and extends competition invitations to players from across Europe and the Arab world.
Liel has also been invited to compete at the competition, which counts outgoing chairman of the Jewish Agency Natan Sharansky and American pro-Israel group Stand With Us among its supporters.
“The time has come to put an end to discrimination against Israelis in chess, in sports and in every field,” said Aizenberg.
The International Judo Federation on Friday stripped the United Arab Emirates and Tunisia from hosting two international tournaments due to their failure to guarantee equal treatment of Israeli athletes.
The decision to suspend the tournaments came after organizers at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Slam refused to acknowledge the nationality of the Israeli athletes — a policy directed only at Israeli participants.
This included a ban on the display of identifying symbols, as well as a refusal to fly the Israeli flag and play the national anthem during ceremonies for Israel’s five medalists. The Israeli competitors instead competed under the flag of the IJF due to the UAE’s non-recognition of Israel.

Don’t the winners ever wonder whom the real winner would be . The elephant will always be sitting in the back of the room with an Israeli flag draped around it.

“moderate Muslim” – no such thing. As Muslims have proved for nearly 1500 years.

The truth they don’t want to lose to a seven year old Jewish girl.

If some Soddy Barbarian sheikh takes a liking to the little girl she might end up getting a marriage proposal she can’t refuse.

They hate all Jews, sadly enough…even Jewish children.

Roughly half the great chess players have been Jewish.

I hope you’re not counting Bobby Fisher, the man who insisted his name be removed from the Encyclopedia Judaica and became an exceedingly warped anti-semite later in life.

Funny, I’ve just mentioned him in the lane of the World Champions. Bobby Fisher apparently lost his mind. It happens sometimes when people work on the edge. There are some famous names in the world history. The great Russian classic writer of 19 Century Alexander Griboedov wrote the great poem ” Gore of Uma” ( Woe from Wit). I hope there is the translation of this outstanding book.

Just FYI- Alexander Griboyedov was the Russian diplomat/ambassador in Persia (modern Iran). He was assassinated by the religious fanatics in Tehran in 1829 for helping the Armenian sex slaves to escape shah’s harem.

A brave man and it just goes to show just how “moderate” Iran was (I refuse to call the slaves to the Arabpig death cult Persians).

In the end Fisher would’ve made a great Nazi or muslum, a twisted genius.

The bunch of dumb cretins in FIDE should expect such bullshit from the muzrats. And to find the better place for the championship. BTW its much better for the little Israeli beauty chess Quinn do not go to the dirty barbarian inbreeds/pedophiles/savages. The price of this “championship” is a pile of the crap, if they don’t allow the strong candidate to participate because of her religion. Shame to FIDE antisemite cretins. They did it in purpose to pander muzrats. Fk them all! STAND WITH ISRAEL!

I thought FIDE, the international body governing chess, would not bless an event that excluded any qualified competitors for reasons like religion. How did they get to host this event with such a restriction?

What kafir in their right mind would send their daughters to Soddy Barbaria, the land of legalized pedophilia and forced marriage, for any reason whatsoever?

Why should a smart Jewish girl be subjected to the misogynistic, apartheid state of Soddy Barbaria at all, ever?
