Re: Anwar El Ghazi

There is a long history to the phrase - which has also been used by Netanyahu and the Israeli right to describe the ethnically cleansed Greater Israel that they want to see.

It has been used for 60 years or more. For the vast majority of people who chant 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' it is a call to end ethnic cleansing, apartheid, colonial oppression, occupation and systematic discrimination.

Some use the phrase to describe a future state of Israel/Palestine that is democratic with equal rights (that would mean the transformation of the ethno-religious state that exists now), but I have never heard it used as 'a genocidal call for violence' in any of the many demonstrations I have been part of in the past few years - especially since October 2023.

There have been tens of thousands of Jewish people on the Palestine/Gaza demonstrations across the UK (not just the big London ones) and also in the US and many other parts of the world. They also chant 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'. Like the rest of the solidarity movement with the victims in Gaza and the West Bank, they have decided to claim the chant and ensure its 'peace and justice' meaning is not distorted by other voices.

Jewish speakers (there have always been Jewish speakers) on the end of march platforms in London also usually finish their speeches with 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'.

I'd also like to see Gazza free...
from Hamas!

Anwar El Ghazi says he has received a payout from Mainz after a German court found he was unfairly dismissed by the club over a social media post about the Israel-Gaza war.

The German club owed the 29-year-old the money in salary and bonuses that they would have had to pay in full by midnight July 30 in order to retain his services.

The footballer has said he has now received a payment of €1.5million (£1.27m, $1.68m) from Mainz relating to his dismissal. El Ghazi is still owed a further €200k in bonuses from Mainz.

The Athletic have approached Mainz for comment.

El Ghazi completed a transfer to Cardiff City last month as a free agent, following a German court ruling earlier in July that he was unfairly dismissed by Mainz.

On Friday, the twice-capped Netherlands international said he had received the money and would be making a €500k donation to children in Gaza.

“After receiving a substantial payment today from Mainz, I would like to make clear that my legal battle with Mainz has never, for me, been about the money,” El Ghazi said in a statement.

“I would like to take this moment to thanks Mainz for two things.

“Firstly, for the substantial pay off, 500k of which will be used to help fund projects for the children in Gaza. I hope Mainz, despite their repeated failed attempts to avoid making the due payment, take solace from the knowledge that they have, through me, contributed financially in trying to make life a little more bearable for the children of Gaza.

“Secondly, in attempting to silence me, making my voice even louder for the oppressed and voiceless in Gaza.”


Was a top player - hopefully will be again. Still is a top man! :thumbup:

Agreed top man

Re: Anwar El Ghazi

Regardless of anyone being pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, anything to help the innocent civilians and children of this conflict should be welcomed by everyone.

What a top top player - put his money where his mouth was.

Apparently, in biblical times it WAS spelt with two 'Z's - that would be just before Gascoigne made his Newcastle debut. .

Well done Anwar, we should be proud of him. I'm hoping to see lots of Palestine flags in the crowd when he plays.

Very delicate subject . No rights for me . By flying a Palestine flag , does that mean you support the atrocities Hamas committed to start this horrendous situation , or support the people being blown to pieces after Israel use it as an excuse to commit their own atrocities .Or are we going deeper into this apparently unsolvable conundrum ?
Don’t wave either flag in my name .

Exactly. In my opinion, Palestine flags have no place at City games. We don’t have any Palestinian players. El Ghazi is Dutch with a Moroccan background, not Palestinian.
