Jules Koundé commented on the dramatic news in the Middle East by relaying the message from a European MP. Before breaking into a focus.

There are tweets of support for Gaza and the Palestinian people, like those from Karim Benzema or Nabil Fekir. And there are players who are more cautious on the burning issue of the Middle East who call for freedom of expression for athletes without a Manichean position being imposed on them, like Aurélien Tchouaméni. Jules Koundé, for his part, chose to speak out clearly on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, relaying the message of MEP Raphaël Glucksmann.

Our total empathy for the Israeli victims must not be combined with indifference to the ordeal of Palestinian civilians. Attacking the terrorist organization Hamas is perfectly legitimate and necessary. But to target Hamas, we cannot condone the endless pileup of Palestinian corpses », writes the latter on his Instagram account. A nuanced position shared by the French international defender.

The former Bordeaux resident takes care to subscribe to this message with the following annotation: “ Is this speech so difficult to read, so difficult to hear? » This while deploring media shortcuts. “ As is often the case, they throw out a catchy title, deliberately omitting half of the point, because they know that the vast majority of people will not read the article. We call it intellectual dishonesty. »
