Nonsense. The media and the top politicians are full of people who are quite happy to turn a blind eye to genocide and israel breaking international law on a daily basis. Football (and other things) give people the chance to speak up. It gives people a voice
Interestingly a lot of the same people turning a blind eye to the bombing of hospitals, schools, children, women etc
on a daily basis are "outraged" at last nights events, and seemingly only able to speak up for one side whilst completely ignoring that a large group of tel aviv hooligans went on the rampage (and not for the first time) attacking people and places in amsterdam and then had their arses handed to them (guess they're not so tough when they're not blowing small children up from a safe distance).
Israel said themselves that they're ethnically cleansing northern gaza two days ago (or have already done so, in fact) - which should be front page news everywhere and everyone should be speaking up against that because everyone knows it's wrong and we all know that never again should mean never again for everyone, but barely a peep about it from western media
At least 39 Palestinians have been killed and 123 wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, mostly women and children. This has been a daily event for over a year, and barely a peep, but a few people injured at a football game and it's "outrage" and suddenly people take a casual interest for a short amount of time again
Nearly 70% of those killed in Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza are women and children, the UN Human Rights Office says.
