They are the only team to defeat two previously undefeated teams in the league championship game.

"He is also revealing profound ignorance about the meaning of theHolocaust.""Given his intimate ties with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who paysfor the weapons terrorizing hundreds of thousands of Israelis, it's notsurprising that Chavez sided with Hamas, which has been designated a terroristgroup by the European Union and many others," Harris added.The Venezuelan foreign ministry announced Ambassador Cohen's expulsion inresponse to the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, launched following yearsof rocket, missile and mortar attacks into southern Israel by Hamasterrorists.
