In Gaza we die to prove that we exist, and in your stadiums and theaters you pay millions to forget that you are human beings. Thank you for your entertainment that proves to us daily that we are alone

It feels like FIFA is taking over a section of my city mostly for the benefit of people who are already rich and to the detriment of everyone else.
