Real Sociedad fans organize a campaign to support Palestine

According to a report by Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo on Monday, a campaign is being promoted on social media platforms by a group of fans of the Spanish club aimed at Sociedad players showing solidarity with Palestine and against the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza .

The report states that the campaign called for Israel's expulsion from the European Football Association (UEFA) and that numerous journalists and well-known personalities took part in it by continuing to publish on social networks the poster they had prepared.

The poster circulating reads: “Stop washing sports. Let’s not normalize genocide. Israel has been eliminated from UEFA. We call on players and fans to show gestures of solidarity with Palestine.”

It is worth noting that the local council of the city of Donostia (or San Sebastian), to which the Spanish club belongs, agreed to break off relations with Israel last April.

“The Donostia City Council strongly rejects Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip and throughout the Palestinian territories, as they constitute a serious violation of international law,” its official statement said.
