Soccer in Palestine

Soccer in Palestine

How about putting 'soccer' to the test now? Stalled, with no other means out, somebody had the brilliant idea to put a ball between the feet of children, instead of a machine gun in their hands. In this way, kicking out 'war' using a ball as a potential mass media object promoting a dream: that of a palestinian state. Sport, an old trick, always with a new twist, to this cause provocating acceptance and sympathy. Surely a project concerning kids, in need of a professional champion and a national star.
