Taking their lead from the German interior minister who sported a One Love armband at Japan game. So today some Qataris in the protocol seats wearing armbands to support Palestinian cause.
@tariqpanja Great! literally no one has a problem with this. Free speech and all power to all people. It's Qatar that want to ban free speech at their tournament.
@tariqpanja How many Syrian refugees have been taken in by Muslim countries? How much money sent to Palestinian people as aid from quatar? Genuine questions.
@tariqpanja @upholdreality They aren’t taking anybody’s lead. People have been banned from showing support for Palestine forever because FIFA “didn’t allow politics to mix with football” and yet suddenly that rule is broken. This was more of a tit for tat kind of thing.
@tariqpanja @lifeofdhayvid Finally the game is now about politics
@tariqpanja RESPECT TO BOTH FOR THE DISPLAY OF SOLIDARITY - BUT HAD ALL PALESTINIANS BEEN GAY THEY WOULD DEFINITELY GET MORE SUPPORT. BEING BROWN AND POOR DOES NOT IMPRESS A RICH WHITE POLITICIAN. #woke
@tariqpanja these are not mutually exclusive causes Palestine should be free and queer rights are human rights
