“Shame on you!”: the legitimate anger of Hakim Ziyech, captain of the Atlas Lions, against his country

A Moroccan, a fortiori famous, who ostentatiously drapes himself in the Palestinian flag, giving free rein to his legitimate and inappeasable anger in the face of the horror of the genocide in Gaza, nothing more normal in the best of all possible worlds…

But in a kingdom that sold its soul to the devil by normalizing relations with Israel and its bloodthirsty, ultra-Zionist government, this is downright heroic!

With solidarity with Palestine firmly in his heart, Hakim Ziyech, captain of the Atlas Lions, is one of those pro-Palestinian heroes who, despite being censored many times on social media and condemned to the pillory, are determined to break all the gags. At the risk, in this case, of incurring the royal wrath…

The attacking midfielder of the Turkish club Galatasaray SK was not afraid, last Friday, to be indignant again in the face of the unbearable, to denounce the unspeakable, and listening only to his courage, went so far as to castigate the dangerous, not to say unnatural, connections established by the authorities of his country with the genocidal Israeli State. Shame on you, that’s enough “, he vilified on Instagram, with a photo of a building in Gaza destroyed by an Israeli strike as a highlight.

Here is the full message that he was forced to delete just hours after it was published, despite the immense support he received on social media, through the hashtag #We_are_all_Ziyech“.

” Let’s get this straight! F*ck Israel and all other countries that support this kind of behavior. My message is also to the government of our own country, who supports genocide. Shame on you, enough is enough. And to my brothers and sisters in Morocco and around the world: keep your voices as loud as possible, I am with you. FREE PALESTINE “.

Certainly, in the best of all possible worlds and even more so in a land of Islam, the healthy anger of Hakim Ziyech, however volcanic it may be, would never have provoked an outcry, nor split the Atlas Kingdom into two irreconcilable camps. On the contrary, it would have united very broadly, without a shadow of a false note, around the immeasurable human tragedy that has struck the population of Gaza daily for more than nine months, and without any respite.
