I saw a post calling Messi a genocider because there was the pic of him at kotel. Little did they know the pic was from 2016 when he went for a world fundraiser for children with cancer. He also visited Palestinian children during his trip. The ignorance and hate peddled by these bozos makes me crazy.
It has to do with political leanings of both countries. Argentina has a very pro-Israel government, and many Israeli government figures have come out in support of Argentina’s football team. Spain has a more pro-Palestine government so it’s sort of a metaphor/symbolic battle. If we’re being real, both Spain and Argentina have very violent colonial histories and plenty of blood on their hands.
