VIDEO: Palestinians protest FC Barcelona game in Israel - Alternative Information Center (AIC)

Eleven football-playing Palestinian youths from the West Bank village of Bil'in torched 11 FC Barcelona football shirts near the Separation Wall in their village on April 10, 2013. The protest was against the FC Barcelona proposal to play an exhibition game in Israel's national stadium in Tel Aviv this July.

As the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) declared: Cultural events and projects involving Palestinians and/or Arabs and Israelis that promote "balance" between the "two sides" in presenting their respective narratives, as if on par, or are otherwise based on the false premise that the colonizers and the colonized, the oppressors and the oppressed, are equally responsible for the "conflict," are intentionally deceptive, intellectually dishonest and morally reprehensible. Such events and projects, often seeking to encourage dialogue or "reconciliation between the two sides" without addressing the requirements of justice, promote the normalization of oppression and injustice.
