A football star was suspended by the German football club FC Mainz for the phrase ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’

Does the use of this phrase justify the loss of livelihood? Was the football player considered to be a terrorist for posting this phrase.

The court ruled that the decision of the football club was unlawful and it set a compensation sum totalling €1.7 million ($1.85 million) to be paid to the football player.

The court also ordered for the club to allow him to return and play for the FC Mainz club for the remainder of the contract.

However, this seems to be an unlikely scenario.

The rich and wealthy can fight legally for their rights. Considering that the majority of the pro-Palestine supporters are from  the middle or lower classes it would remain to question how many of them have lost their jobs unlawfully and gave up the  pursue of their claim, due to lack of funds or lack of legal protection.

In the UK, the Employment Law favours the employers, disadvantaging employees.

Workers employed less than two years have only very limited or next to no rights.

In Nazi-Germany, however, fascism is the focal point of such dismissals.

The Germans shoat out of the top of their lungs, ‘ Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus’.
