Pep Guardiola has called for attention to be paid to the situation in Palestine.
İdman.Biz reports that a football match will be held between the Catalonia and Palestine teams on November 18 at the "Olimpic Lluís Companys". The organizers have pledged to donate all proceeds to Palestine, including aid for the reconstruction of Gaza.
"This is more than just a symbolic match. Everyone knows everything these days, and thanks to this game, Palestinians will see that there is a part of the world that cares about them.
The world has abandoned Palestine. We have done nothing. It is not their fault that they were born there. We have all allowed an entire nation to be destroyed. The damage has already been done and it is irreparable.
I can't imagine a person in this world who could justify the massacres in Gaza. Our children can be killed there simply because they were born there. I have little faith in world leaders. They do everything they can to stay in power.
Symbolism helps keep people alert, but there has to be something real behind it," Guardiola told RAC1.
