Palestinians hail Argentina and Messi for calling off Jerusalem match

[StinkyPete]

1. Argentina cancelled due to death threats from BDS thugs.

In an interview with Agencia Judia de Noticias, a Jewish news service, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie said the threats had exceeded those of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.

Images on social media showed protesters outside the team's Barcelona practice facility waving Palestinian flags and soccer jerseys dabbed with red paint resembling bloodstains.

In a news conference Wednesday, Israel’s minister of culture and sport, Miri Regev, said it was threats on star player Lionel Messi’s life, against his family and other members of the team that had prompted the team to cancel the game.

“The decision for cancellation is down to one reason, terrorism,” she said. “This is not a BDS event. We are talking about serious threats.”

Great "win" for BDS thugs to brag about.
