Video: The World Cup opens in Shatila Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon

From Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon: Football, the demand to expel “Israel” from FIFA, and the life and resistance of the Palestinian people.

The October 7 Cafe in Shatila camp – in 1982, the site of the infamous Sabra and Shatila massacre carried out by fascist Phalangists overseen by invading Zionist occupation soldiers, and today, one of the most impoverished and marginalized Palestinian refugee camps – welcomes sports viewers, as local Palestinians gather to demand that “Israel” be kicked out of FIFA and international sports.
