Political Implications of Argentina vs Spain Match
In many ways, this game, Javier,
Argentina Spain was almost a proxy for Israel versus Palestine, rightly or wrongly?
Rightly, rightly and wrongly,
because also political leaders don't represent their people. Yes.
Malays, not Argentine. Agreed.
Argentina, I know its population, of course.
But it's true that at this high level of encountering and conflict,
it's true that
when a president is really supporting so openly
a person who is a war criminal like Netanyahu,
then you want to really support the other team.
You want to also support the other team that is not supporting a war criminal.
And listen, I think those who belong
to Hamas and committed those horrible crimes,
they are also war criminals. Yes.
And they should be judged and brought into justice.
I don't know if there are any left of them.
But what I'm saying is there is no reason,
there is no reason why to kill innocent civilians in any place in the world.
But what Israel has been doing for many years now, it's a full genocide
and it's been documented as such.
And having a president like Millet supporting that and being proud of that,
and also figures like Netanyahu, Ben Gavir, being very proud about
pointing out to Argentina as a representation of themselves,
which is not fair, I would say. It's not fair for Argentina. Agreed.
It has brought this extra weight to
the match that I don't think belongs to the match.
But of course, it's in the ambience. It's in the ambience.
And I don't think it's fair
because there are many people from Argentina that really don't support Millet,
as many people in the States that don't support Trump,
which, by the way, you are right.
He wanted to be in the picture, but it was great how these players who
were looking at him like, no, we have to make the
picture without you. And until you leave, we are not taking the picture.
So he had to leave. And I was very proud of that as well.
