Mainz fired El Ghazi for pro-Palestinian posts
Anwar el Ghazi was released from Mainz after his pro-Palestine campaign.
His term of office Anwar el Ghazi at Mainz it didn’t even take a month. The German club signed the Dutch striker on September 22nd and the termination of the contract was announced on October 17th.
Mainz decided to end the collaboration immediately after the 28-year-old international uploaded a story on Instagram supporting Palestine over the events of the last few days.
“This is not a war. If one side cuts off the other side’s water, food and electricity, that’s not war. If one side has nuclear weapons, then it’s not war. When one side is funded with billions of dollars.” It’s not a war. It’s war.
If one side uses AI images to spread disinformation about another, that’s not a war. If social media censors the content of one side and not the other, then that is not war.
It’s not a fight and it’s not a war. This is genocide and mass destruction, and we are witnessing it happening live. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” El Ghazi wrote.
The message was deleted after some time, but Mainz decided to expel El Ghazi and even made it clear in a statement that they do not accept his writings, although they respect that there are different opinions on the matter.
