Haaretz yesterday had this:
This week in the IFL sees a Thursday doubleheader in the capital at Kraft Stadium. The Gush Texas Judean Rebels and Big Blue Jerusalem Lions both hold 6-1 records and the result of their bout could determine which of the teams ends up with a first-round bye in the playoffs.
But they lost to my son's team, the Jerusalem Lions, 40-16.
Almost two decades ago, I tried convincing interested-in-peace diplomats that going the indirect route to achieve coexistence understanding was the best path to peace. They listened politely but though they knew better.
Oh well.
Here's a pre-game Channel Two TV report, in Hebrew.
