FIFA granted the Palestine Football Federation official status in 1929. In 1934, the international squad played in the World Cup for the first time ever under the Palestine (Eretz Israel) banner.The members of the initial squad were Willi Berger, Avraham Reznik , Pinhas Fiedler, Zalman 'Dzampa' Friedmann, Gdalyahu Fuchs, Yohanan Sukenik, Amnon Harlap, Peri Kraus, Paul Kastenbaum, Chaim Reich, Avraham NudelmannBut I cannot tell a lie: They weren’t very good.On March 16, 1934 , in World Cup qualifying play, they lost to the Egyptians, 1–7On April 6, 1934 they lost to the Egyptians again, 1–4Four years later, in World Cup Qualifying play against Greece, on January 22, 1938 in Tel Aviv, they lost to the Greeks by a score of 1–3.On February 20, 1938 in Athens they lost to the Greeks again 0–1Source: Sons of Masada, In Celebration Of Israeli SoccerIn 1939 the Palestine (Eretz Israel) team shown above toured Australia where they lost to the Australian National Team 5–7.Here’s a video of the game.When the organizer of the league, Josef Yekutieli, applied to FIFA the application stated that the Palestine League would be open to 'all races and religions.'[1] So as to why the team was made up of Jews and not Arabs, I can only hazard a guess that the Arabs in Palestine were even worse at soccer than the Jews (who had at least gotten some experience playing the game while fighting in the British army in WWI).Footnotes[1] Sons of Masada, In Celebration Of Israeli Soccer

In about 2007 I was working as a recruiter and interviewing candidates for Accounting positions in Sydney.I remember interviewing one guy who had a pretty good resume and was good in person too. He mentioned during the interview that he'd played soccer for the Australian national team in the mid 80s.I thought this was pretty cool, and it seemed to add up - he looked like he was in his 40s, so in the mid 80s he'd have been in his twenties... However I know very little about soccer, and even less about Australian soccer in the 80s, so all I could really do was say, "Wow, that's awesome" and move on.Then after the interview I mentioned it to a colleague who did know a lot more about Aussie soccer than me - he asked me the candidate's name and when I told him, he said, "Never heard of him!"And then five minutes' searching on Wikipedia and the Australian Football Federation website showed that unless this guy had changed his name for some reason, he was completely making it up. There had never been any players on the Aussie soccer team with his name.So this struck me as ridiculous for a couple of reasons:1) I was interviewing him for Accounting positions. While it's cool that he might have played soccer for Australia in the past, that had no bearing on his suitability for those positions at all.2) Finding out that he appeared to be lying made me question what else he might be lying about. His accounting experience? His qualifications? His references...?I gave him the benefit of the doubt and spoke to a couple of his referees from recent positions, and they both gave excellent feedback on him; but other interviewers might not have been so accomodating, and might have ruled him out as untrustworthy as soon as they got the impression he was making things up.I never found out the truth, but it just seemed like such a weird thing to lie about, given how pointless it was, and how easy it was to check...

The decision in the Mabo High Court case recognises native title for areas of land within Australia that are set aside for indigenous aboriginals and there is a wide ambit of what they can do with the land.The Mabo case acknowledged that a group of Torres Strait islanders were in fact the owners of Murray Island on the Queensland coast. This was a controversial split decision by the High Court as it effectively removed the legal status of “terra nullius” which underpinned the foundations of how most Australians understood the law in respect of land tenure.Probably the best example I can give you here of how Native Land Titles work in a practical sense is to look at what’s occurred in and around Gove in the Northern Territory. There is a substantial area of land that is owned by indigenous aboriginals known as the Gumat Clan, which includes areas around the township of Nhulunbuy, Cape Arnhem, and down the western side of East Arnhem. To visit these areas you need a permit from the traditional owners.The driving force behind these successful applications for native land titles was James Galarrwuy Yunupingu, who I once had the pleasure of playing aussie rules football against on several occasions many decades ago.So to answer your question High Court decisions such as the Mabo case, and subsequent successful applications to the National Native Title Tribunal have already paved the way for the granting of land to traditional aboriginal land holders and any new applications can be lodged through the Federal Court.
