Gaza: Kanouté shows his support for the Palestinian people

In a Spanish cup football match between Sevilla and Deportivo La Coruña yesterday, the Malian striker Frederic Oumar Kanouté scored 2-0 for Sevilla after 40 minutes of play. But his real acheivement was his gesture of solidarity with the Palestinians under Israeli bombardments, displaying a pro-Palestine t-shirt after having scored. Kanouté was now been warned for the 'political' action by the Spanish football federation, but his brave action is justified along the lines of the 1968 Olympics Black Power salute.

Solidarity action at Egyptian football match

"At a league match in Ismailia, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of Cairo, players from Cairo's Al Ahly and the home team, Ismaili, walked onto the field wearing white shirts with the words "Gaza is in our hearts" spelled in red letters.

The packed crowd of about 20,000 chanted, "We sacrifice our soul and our blood to you, Palestine."

Fans and players also observed a moment of silence before the game to honor the Palestinians killed in Gaza since the 8-day offensive began."
