    On a similar subject, I am trying to find out information on if it's true that any Jew in the world is eligible to play for Israel as they are entitled to Israeli citizenship?

    You have to be a citizen of Israel to play for Israel. If a jew in Argentina is not a citizen he can't play. Now, how easy it is for him to become a citizen may be easy because he is jewish, but to make the leap that any jew can play for Israel easily is a bit of a stretch because one is controlled by Israeli law (becoming a citizen), and the other is controlled by football associations (playing for Israel.

    well if ur a jew is rather easy to become Israeli, extra mega duper easy if u have papers that probe that u are indeed one....in the Pali issue, well i guess Israeli arabs can become Palestinians also rather easily and the Israeli NT doesn't have too many arabs playing for us, only Kiyal/Ghadir/Ottman and the ones who already played and are....well old and not in the best shape like Badier, Suan or Toama
