Indonesia refuses to play Fed Cup in Israel

This is great news. I hope soon all countries decide to boycott any country that
discriminates based on religion/race or sex. Watch out Israel. Watch out Iran.

The creation of the Israeli state was a crime and the country still excercises its criminal activities. Of course Iran's government oppresses its people, but that is not the same as the state of Iran is not a criminal state as such (it was not created illegally or in a brutal way).

Hey I don't have any double standards. When Iranian government discriminates against women
it should pay! If Israeli government discriminates against Palestinian, they should pay too.
If any government is not having respect for a segment of its population to the point that
international community has to step in, so be it.

Human rights preceeds any other rights.

Agreed. They already did that by refusing to play friendlies with our TM. Please tell me if you guys didn't get upset when you heard other teams wouldn't play our TM?

Well, if a team explains WHY they don't play you it is fine. The problem with teams not
playing against TM is that they did not explain why? For instance Ukraine said they will
play but cancelled at the last minute for no a good reason. Teams like Argentina or
Spain nevery even explained why they won't play.

However, Sweden told Saudi Arabia we won't play you unless you let women in your
stadium. Saudis did allow women in and the Sweeds played.

Sweden did well there. And I agree with RezaAli.
