England – Maria Guardiola, the daughter of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, has expressed her sympathy for the Palestinians in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
In a series of posts on Instagram, Maria shared her outrage over the violence and loss of life. She also criticized the international community for its silence.
In one post, Maria shared a message from a user named “Eva” that read, “Are we really going to sit back and watch a massacre unfold on our TV screens?”
“How many people have to die in Palestine before we speak up? 10,000? 100,000? A million?” the message continued.
In another post, Maria wrote, “In an age of information, ignorance is a choice.”
Maria’s posts have been shared widely on social media, and they have drawn praise from many people who share her views.
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has been ongoing for decades. In recent weeks, the violence has escalated, with hundreds of people killed on both sides.
The United Nations has called for a ceasefire, but so far, neither side has agreed to stop fighting.
About the conflict
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is a complex and long-standing one. It has its roots in the late 19th century, when the Zionist movement began to advocate for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
In 1948, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish. However, the Arab world rejected the plan, and Israel declared its independence.
This led to a war between Israel and the Arab states, which ended with Israel gaining control of much of Palestine.
Since then, there have been a number of wars and conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians. The most recent round of violence began on October 7, 2023, when Israel launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in response to rocket fire from Palestinian militants.
