Even though Barcelona FC cancelled their proposed match in Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, on 31-7-2013 on account of the torching of 11 of their soccer jerseys on razor wire at the Apartheid-Annexation Wall in Bil’in in disgust at their breaking of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel, it wasn’t a clear cut moral victory as Barcelona FC just attenuated their act a little and went ahead anyways and gave their imprimatur to the occupation and Israel’s many crimes against humanity and war crimes by hobnobbing with Israel’s war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.


But not really….

Update Aug 6, 2013

Barca decided to go on with it’s normalization tour with Apartheid as reported by barca360.com

 

Barca Concluded in a Packed Stadium in Tel Aviv in it’s Tour of Peace

Six groups of Israeli children and Palestinian touched the ball with their idols in Bloomfield Stadium

The FC Barcelona concluded on Sunday in a packed stadium in Tel Aviv, the Tour of Peace, which has led to the West Bank and Israel, where they met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders and trained with children of both parties.

The Bloomfield in Tel Aviv, with capacity for 14,400 people, was filled with fans, mostly of young children dressed in the gear of Barca and cards to welcome the Spanish team stars.

“You are messengers of peace, you bring light to children and hope to our people. A message of peace to the Middle East. Thanks,” said the president of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres, before making a symbolic kick off in which he passed the ball to Messi, who embraced the applause of the fans.

Six groups of children Israelis and Palestinians of all ages had the opportunity to participate in the workshop with Barcelona players, with regulars who made ​​passes, shots on goal and dribbling zig-zag. Then the team was trained separately before delivering public farewell and signed footballs.

Tel Aviv was the last stop on the mini-tour that takes the Barcelona to the Middle East, where as its president Sandro Rossel has conveyed to Israeli and Palestinian leaders, that the club tries to contribute their bit to the solution of the conflict in special agreement with the resumption of the peace talks in Washington.

After the last workshop in Israel, the delegation will leave the Barca bound for Thailand and Malaysia, periods of its Asian tour this year.

This photo above is the most revolting show off of propaganda and normalization ever seen during the FC Barcelona visit to Palestine and what is called Israel.

Warcriminals Netanyahu and Peres holding shirts stating “PEACE TOUR” and “UNICEF”

For your information, of all who are not witnessing Israel’s achievements (nor in your media) because it is manipulated, silenced or altered:

The same Peres holding the FC Barcelone T-Shirt above, wrote:

“No crime is more heinous than the killing of a child” – Shimon Peres – Dec 15, 2012

Watch the children of the genocide on Palestine


Shame on you FC Barcelona and UNICEF for exploiting the Palestinian cause for your own PR!

This is no peace tour. The ‘campaign shirt’ would be living up to reality of Israeli Apartheid if it stated “Normalization Tour”

So to all bigoted journalists and press, sustaining the myths and lies, and likely disseminating the PEACE TOUR T-Shirt all around, I have a message for you:
