Boycott

Hamas called for a boycott against the last clasico, banned the game in Gaza to show. The residents again sat down the boycott and fired hard Messi & co map.

Who has seen the clasico last Sunday, know that he was of special importance. Real Madrid was 8 points behind their hated rivals Barcelona. A defeat would have brought the Championship already to this day very distant. The Catalans did probably not the same favor Madrid like the Merengues in the last year, as she lightly playful their advantage, the League was still really exciting at the end. It remains to be seen whether the Primera Division is exciting this year. It is certain: the clasico, which was exciting. He proved once again that it is not Madrid against Barcelona, but Messi against Ronaldo. And so both Giants scored the goals, achieved only a 2-2 at the end.

The clasico is a worldwide coveted event, especially in the Arab world. The last was however overshadowed. In the past week, Middle East reported football of the Hamas plan to boycott the game. Reason: Gilad Shalit announced to want to see the game at the stadium. Shalit was a former prisoner of Hamas, lived for five years in an underground, without daylight. 19, As Pieas, Hamas abducted him. Only a sign of life was his family during this time. The Shalit case was subject of a society as a whole, Israel took an interest in the abduction, the suffering of the family. It should take five years before the lanky boy was released from his captivity. Since then, he tries to find that he does not know back in normality. Today, he is 25, a normal young man to be tempted. And this boy just wanted to watch the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Camp Nou during his trip to Barcelona.

FC Barcelona is more important than policy Hamas was beside himself, demanded by the Arab news stations to boycott the game, forbidding the inhabitants of Gaza to see the game. The outcome was uncertain. After the famous pälestinesische football player Mahmoud Sabri also suggested the possibility also to go to the game it was expected that the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip would also boycott the game. He had publicly invited Barcelona to welcome Shalit as a guest, had launched a petition in the life. He wanted to not be on the same game as Gilad Shalit. He did this for the Palestinians, was afraid of the reactions in their own country. But it all came different. FC Barcelona is not simply just a club, it is an institution that is more important than policy in Gaza. BBC correspondent Jon Donnison, describes nothing brought the people of Gaza ever so much pleasure as the FC Barcelona. This joy people have not let do not prohibit, also Hamas. Cafés contact across the ban, showed the battle between Messi and Ronaldo as usual, viewers came in droves, as ever and ever. The call to boycott backfired for Hamas. Instead of showing their hostility to Shalit, the fans in Gaza demonstrated the impotence of Hamas, at least in sports matters. Fans criticized Mahmoud Sabri Shows the case of Gilad, the Barcelona fans in Gaza get their love isn't broken. FC Barcelona, the clasico will have a special role in Gaza, politics has no place here. "I watch the game, I support Barça. I see only sports and not politics. I'll not allow but Israel to take this fun", said Nasser Ziad, a 25-year Barcelona fan. But not only the Hamas was rejected for the arrangement of their boycott. Even Mahmoud Sabri was criticized for its behavior. Some of the fans were disappointed that he has not gone to the game. Rather than boycott, more attention for their lives, something would have done well the people in the Gaza Strip. A public appearance is because sometimes better than a boycott.
