Yes, as I suspected. I've checked out the
Concerns raised over racism during Cup source from USA TODAY By Kelly Whiteside.
Quote:
In Germany and several other European nations, crowds shower minority players with racial insults at times. Several of the U.S. team's African-American players who compete professionally in European leagues say they have been targets of discrimination and verbal and even physical abuse because of their race — on and off the field. There are concerns about how racial incidents might affect the World Cup in Germany, where the 32-team tournament begins June 9 and will be held in 12 cities.
An anti-racism group in Germany is so concerned that it has warned non-white World Cup visitors to avoid rural towns and villages outside Berlin, in the formerly communist eastern part of the country.

It is very clear that the racism is against OTHER COUNTRIES. There is NO example of a country being racist AGAINST IT'S OWN COUNTRIES PLAYERS. Indeed the 'racism' against other countries' players can be seen as a devious way of getting an (unfair) advantage against opponents. When you try to put YOUR OWN countries' players 'off' from scoring that it indicated very deep and very real RACISM. Indeed so racist as to be UNPATRIOTIC.
I did not bother checking out any of the other 'sources' as I'm sure it will be similar 'racism' and not the genuine racism of Israel.
