Athletes from around the world have expressed support for the Palestinian side since the outbreak of the Iron Sword War, without thinking for a moment to express any empathy for the Israeli side that experienced a barbaric massacre on October 7 at the hands of a Palestinian terror organization, the brutal Hamas, of course. One of them may even meet the Israeli national soccer team very soon.

In March, the team will play in the Nations League play-offs, and if it makes it past the semi-finals (against Ukraine or Iceland), it may meet Bosnia in a direct battle for a ticket to Euro 2024. The opponent's goal may be Ibrahim Shahic, now the goalkeeper of Al Khalij of the Saudi League.
On Tuesday, the 35-year-old Bosnian posted a story on Instagram accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing, although he did not mention her name: "House after house, hospital after hospital, the Palestinians are being erased before our eyes. We will all be part of history as those who could have prevented this, but we did not raise our voices or help the children and residents."
Shehic, who has played more than 12 years in the Turkish league, attached a photo of two injured Palestinian children from Gaza, hoping to echo the message among his nearly 51,<> followers on social media. The veteran goalkeeper is not the first member of the Bosnian national team to express support for the Palestinians, and in general his country is tainted by quite a bit of anti-Semitism, which is also felt on the soccer field.
