@aral@mastodon.ar.al well, there is an implicit judo in it.
To acknowledge losses on both sides means each side has to acknowledge the deaths of the other. Extremes only tend to look at one side. Theirs. The middle is what moves and needs to.
Of course, the football team could have done nothing. Apathy.
Instead they chose to speak for the dead.
The dead don't have sides.
Just the living do that.

@knowprose@mastodon.social The football team voted to play (except one player). They could have voted no to. Before it got to the players, the management could have taken the same decision. The football association could have taken the same decision. Again, if anyone is both sidesing this genocide, they’re both sidesing all genocides. So, again, if you wouldn’t have worn a black arm band to mourn the losses of Nazi lives during the Holocaust, no, you do not wear a black band to mourn the IDF losess during Israel’s ongoing live-streamed genocide of the Palestinian people.
