Frankfurt/Main – Football national player Amin Younes explained his Instagram post on the recent escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“It was a spontaneous expression of opinion with no intention of offending another religion or people of other beliefs. On the contrary, it was precisely the attack on those who were praying that prompted me to do so, ”wrote the 27-year-old on social media. He had made pro-Palestinian statements on Instagram on Wednesday.
“For me the freedom of religion and the practice of religion is of the highest value and I oppose violence of any kind, regardless of which side. It is terrible to see that so many people, regardless of their belief, have to lose their lives in this conflict. ”
Younes ‘Club Eintracht Frankfurt also published the statement on its website and responded to the players’ comments on the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, which has intensified again in recent days. “After a very positive exchange with the players concerned, there is no doubt about their peaceful disposition,” said the Hessian Bundesliga club. “You have credibly assured us that you stand up for the peaceful coexistence of all religions, position yourself clearly against violence, racism and anti-Semitism and thus share the values of Eintracht Frankfurt in all points. However, the examples show that every expression of opinion must always be seen in its effect on others and should therefore be carefully considered. “
