A mild, late, spineless stand. But a stand. It makes me wonder how much longer this can go on before governments realise people are fed up of this.

Jesus.
The few hostages that are left have been through absolutely unimaginable trauma, for nearly 2 years, and this is how you speak of them.
I cannot believe you allowed that to drop from your fingers.

Same. How do you get to that post.

Yes because the right thing to do is displace nearly a million people instead of just not killing them. Imagine saying that you’re against a message calling for kids to not be killed

The right thing to do, would be for the man to stop being a hypocrite.

So what- so he gets ridiculously paid, for kicking a ball about. Is he going to ask his countrymen to open their border to Gaza?

Fucking awful post that was - particularly when one hostage is digging his own grave. Don't they show their true colours- eventually.

So you're saying that all lives matter and there is nothing partisan in their sentiment. Just like Thom Yorke then.

No I think the statement ‘stop killing children stop killing civilians is fairly bland and broad and could easily be read as a call to ceasefire to prevent more civilian deaths on both sides.
However given the comparative numbers of civilian/child deaths on both sides, I can see how many see it as a criticism of the IDF and more pro-Palestine.

Did you want a trauma competition?

That’s what you’re trying to turn it into.

Because not only is he one of the best footballers on the planet, but he’s also face significant adversity. He has been vocal on Gaza since 2023.

And the trauma of 800,00 Palestinians?

It’s not hard to get a name right.
And why should the hostages be specially mentioned in the messaging? The hostages are not made of gold, they are not more special or singular than any other civilian.

Yes who knew spelling a name wrong was disrespectful. I'd get it if I'd called him a derogatory name that sounded similar but nope. An incorrect spelling!

Is he going to call out his fellow Egyptians for not helping Palestinians? 🤔

You would think with the platform he obviously has, that he might have called for Egypt to allow Palestinian refugees in wouldn’t you?

Are the hostages not civilians?

It’s Salah. Not Saleh. Have some respect.

UEFA were called out for their piss poor message re. Suleiman al-Obeid, a footballer who was killed by the IDF while queuing for aid. UEFA posted a message that didn’t acknowledge what had happened and Salah rightfully called them out.

Is there any verifiable proof that Obeid was killed by the IDF? From what I’ve read there is no official verification of this.

As it has not been verified how he died or why, I don’t what see what more UEFA could have said from a legal standpoint.

This is a SM post of his after Hamas leader Isnail Haniyeh was killed:

https://x.com/mishtal/status/1954221014654587246

Did UEFA make any announcement about the Israeli footballer, who actually played in a UEFA team and was murdered on Oct 7th by Palestinians, which there was evidence of?

But they haven’t specifically mentioned the civilians or every child in the conflict, why would they start giving special mention to one set of victims? All
lives are important in this not just a group of them.

So you're saying that all lives matter and there is nothing partisan in their sentiment. Just like Thom Yorke then.

The spelling of saleh/salah's name is not relevant. We all know who we are talking about.

The hostages should be 'specially mentioned ' because if an organisation like UEFA take a stand against a conflict they should include all victims. Regardless of their ethnicity/religious identity. It's pretty obvious to me but not to this football organisation.

Maybe they'll release more banners later..

Agree. What a thing to say. I don’t get it, so sad. He’s a tortured, brutalised man.

Edited

We have to remember that UEFA is just a football organisation. The people running it probably don't even know where or what gaza is.

We’ll know the tide has really turned when Thom Yorke stops both siding ( likely never )

I think only the sort of people who see a mob with pitchforks and flaming torches and think 'yeah I'll have a bit of that'.
