On Tuesday, June 5, the Argentina
National Football team canceled the “friendly” match with Israel
planned for Saturday, following months of BDS campaigning that kicked

Football fans and Palestinian human rights supporters had urged the Argentinian team and superstar footballer Lionel Messi to cancel the match, set to take place in an Israeli stadium built on the ethnically cleansed Palestinian village, al-Maliha, in response to Israel’s criminal shoot-to-kill-or-maim policy against peaceful Palestinian protesters in Gaza.
