The connection that Moroccan footballers feel that they have to Palestine is political, just as it is innate according to World Cup fans; “Palestine is in our blood. The love for Palestine runs in our veins.” Not only is conflating Palestine with anti-semitism a stretch, supporting Palestine is pro-semitism.

To consider the inflated, extended definition of semitism is against judicial ruling. Former DW journalist Farah Maraqa and six-coworkers have recently had a case against them based on the discredited IHRA definition of the term dismissed as “legally unjustified”.
