          Elneny is not Palestinian but Egypt and Palestine have very strong ties and are very close geographically and culturally

            That’s a very weak connection to begin with.

            Even weaker when you consider that Egypt handles their border with Gaza the same way Israel does.

      What about war in Ukraine? What about “football against racism”? What about discussion of whitewashing of the sport by Saudis/UAE? When it comes to Palestine, everyone is suddenly “HEY HEY DONT BRING POLITICS INTO HERE”.

      You can be critical of Israeli government without hating Jewish people. You can be supportive of Palestinians without supporting Hamas. You don’t have to be an anti-Semite to criticize Netanyahu.

      Grow a fucking pair.
