Moroccan Soccer Fans Chant for Gaza as Israel-Hamas Conflict Continues

"Rajawi Falastini". Al Jazeera highlighted this song sung by the supporters of Raja Casablanca in favor of Palestine in the stadiums, but also during demonstrations gathering thousands of people in Rabat and other Moroccan cities to condemn the Israeli aggression against Gaza. In unison, the demonstrators took up a part of the song in chorus: "We will not abandon you, Gaza. Despite the distance, you are close to me, O Rafah and Ramallah, our nation is sick, affected by the problems and corruption of the government, while the Arab world lives in misery and the future is only darkness".

They also called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for the massacres and war crimes committed against civilians, including children. In a statement to the Qatari media, Hicham said he refuses to watch the UEFA Champions League "while our brothers are being massacred". He added: "I no longer feel like any form of entertainment; I feel like I’m betraying the tragedy of our murdered brothers in Gaza".
