The Palestinian Football Association has asked Messi to not play in Argentina's friendly against Israel.
Jibril Rajoub (President of PFA): "Messi is a symbol of peace and leave. We ask him to not play against Israel. If he plays, burn his jersey."
Rajoub: "We will launch a campaign against the Argentine Federation. Messi has many fans in the Arab and Muslim countries. We ask everyone to burn his shirt, his posters, or anything if he plays."
Rajoub: "From a sports match, this game has become a political tool. The Israeli government is trying to give it a political reach by insisting that it take place in Jerusalem.
