Anti-Semitism in Dubai Tennis Match: The Wall Street Journal pulls sponsorship!!!!

A big hat tip to www.redstate.com and the Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal Gives Action to Principles

Kudos must go to the Wall Street Journal for standing by its principles. Haaretz reports that the WSJ pulled its sponsorship this week for a tennis tournament in Dubai after that Islamic state ignorantly denied a visa for an Israeli player scheduled to play there.
Dubai refused the visa for Israeli player Shahar Peer because of the supposed anger of Muslim tennis fans over the recent Israeli offensive in Gaza. United Arab Emirates officials claimed they feared riots if they allowed Peer to attend.
Once the decision was made known, however, the WSJ reacted well in a statement released on Wednesday.
“The Wall Street Journal’s editorial philosophy is free markets and free people, and this action runs counter to the Journal’s editorial direction.”
One can only admire a member of the Old Media that stands by a policy of free markets, democracy, fairness and general civility like that.

Be sure and subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. A publication of such principles should be supported.

More Tennis World Apartheid: Israeli Gets Visa to Dubai Islamic Minstrel Show; Israel to Play Empty Arena Davis Cup

By Debbie Schlussel

While the women's portion of Dubai Tennis Championships continues to go on minus those undesirable Jewesses, there's more similar behavior afoot in the pro tennis world.
Israeli Andy Ram has gotten news that he will, indeed, get a visa to play doubles in Dubai in next week's mens portion of the same tournament. But, as I've noted before, even if he gets a visa to play, so what? That doesn't change the fact that no other Jewish Israelis can enter the country and that Dubai continues to boycott Israel, along with dozens of other Muslim states. This is an Islamic minstrel show. See. Look at the Jew. We let him play. (I can imagine this being said in the voice of "Family Guy"'s Stewie Griffin.)
Ram also played at the Qatar Open, where Jewish Israelis were never allowed before and haven't been since. But he was showcased along with Shahar Pe'er by the Al-Jazeera owner Qataris because they want to host a Summer Olympics. And we know why Dubai will give Ram the visa. They don't like the bad publicity they've gotten this week, publicity that will all die down by next week, after which their "No Jewish Israelis Allowed" policy will remain in place and unquestioned.

Then, there's the Davis Cup, next month. Organizers say that Sweden and Israel will play each other in their first-round Davis Cup matches to an empty arena, March 6-8, because of security concerns. The matches take place in Malmo, Sweden, which has already been the site of anti-Semitic violence on a Jewish synagogue--it was firebombed!--and where anti-Semitic, anti-Israel demonstrations are planned during the matches.
The Swedes said they couldn't provide adequate security at the event. And I'm betting they got word or suspect that one of their many "moderate Muslim" residents was going to execute a terrorist attack. They don't cancel these things or exclude audiences over nothing. Europe is now at the whim at will of the wildings of Islam. Not a clash of civilizations. A loss of civilization. Because Sweden and these other countries let these savages invade their countries. Now, they are reaping the rewards.

Yup, the Nazis of Europe have been reborn from their sleep. And they are called . . . Muslims. Religion of Peace, baby!
