Celtic fans: never get tired of loving Palestine

Celtic fans defend all hopefuls for independence.

The fans of the Celtic Football Club reiterated their position of permanent support for Palestine, and every time its citizens suffer an assault, the fans of the club clearly express their solidarity and support with them.

The cause of Jerusalem, Gaza and Palestine is no longer limited to countries that share borders or languages ​​with them, or converge in terms of culture and values.

The Palestinian cause and the confrontation with the occupation have become a great cloud that extends over the skies of the free peoples of the world.

Some decided to withdraw from the shadow of this cloud, and returned to normalization “humiliated” by the Israeli occupation, while a large group took a clear position for many years and refused to leave Palestine alone.

Celtic fans are among those who have made no secret of their love and enduring support for the cause at every event. And with each shot aimed at the breasts of the Palestinians, they would stand up and support them. And despite their absence from the stadium stands due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were present to support the Palestinians in the recent attacks and clashes.

The origins of Celtic fans can be traced back to Ireland, whose people fought for independence from the United Kingdom. The team was founded in Scotland by Irish immigrants who know well the meaning of occupation, independence and freedom.

These fans have supported Palestine many times and have reiterated their position and loyalty over and over again.. With each event, we find her in the front row in expressing her support without hesitation.

For example, he supported South Africa against ethnic cleansing, supported the Basque Country and Catalonia in their war to separate from Spain, and welcomed Syrian refugees, through a banner: “Welcome to refugees … The club was founded by immigrants ”.

“Jerusalem is Palestine” It was the motto of these masses when they spoke of the “deal of the century.” Before that, fans wrote: “We support Palestine. Stop the mass massacres. Stop the crimes of the Zionists.” This anti-Zionist flag was raised when several martyrs fell in the Gaza Strip and the occupied territories in 2018.. This gesture occurred in the 70th minute of a match, marking the 70th anniversary of the Nakba and the departure of the Palestinians from their lands.

In 2016, Celtic faced an Israeli team in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, and Celtic fans raised the Palestinian flags, a fact that was considered by the European Football Association as prohibited, and the club was threatened with penalties, but the fans didn’t care. . That same year, donations were collected for Palestine, despite the club being fined by UEFA for raising the Palestinian flag at a match in Reykjavik, Iceland, which was also in the UEFA Champions League.

Celtic fans reiterated their loyalty after the recent attacks and clashes, despite the absence of fans, but they approached the stands and raised the Palestinian flags in defiance of the Covid-19 pandemic.

They called continuously, to go out to the streets to support the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, and hung Palestinian flags in the stands, which was rejected by the administration, but the Fans Association responded forcefully to their club, and said in a statement: “We were at the stadium to say goodbye to the team leader, and raise the Palestinian flag, which the fans are proud to have always raised throughout the centuries,” adding: “The management has moved away from the values ​​of the club. Finally, , we left a monument to the death of our Palestinian friend, the team fanatic (Salah Ajrama), who died last month ”.

According to the association’s statement, Palestinian Celtic fan Salah Ajrama met Scott Brown, the team’s leader, in 2012, accompanied by some Palestinian refugees in Scotland.

The masses continued to support and ask to take to the streets and participate together with the Palestinians in all their demonstrations in support of their cause.

The Celtic fans broke all restrictions and crossed all walls, listening only to the voice of truth, with a clear objective and a voice that has always been clearer: “We are with the truth, we are with Palestine, Gaza and Jerusalem.”
