Osasuna ‘ultra’ fans raised Palestinian flags and banners and brought their team’s game to a halt by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel’s genocide. Soon after, they were joined by other fans, of both teams, across the entire stadium, chanting ‘Palestina Aurrera’ – ‘Forward Palestine’.
The Spanish ‘Liga’ – like sport generally – is seeing increasing protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Today, Basque football club Athletic Club Bilbao will pay tribute to Israel’s almost 700,000 Palestinian victims in their match against Mallorca.
