Taking a Stand Or Following The Rules? Mohamed Salah Ignoring a Palestinian Jersey is Sparking Online Debate!
After Liverpool’s match against Galatasaray yesterday, a short clip of Mohamed Salah began making rounds online.
In the video, a guy holding a Palestinian jersey extended it toward Salah, hoping for an autograph. Salah, however, simply walked past, head down, ignoring the gesture entirely. The footage quickly ignited conversations across social media.
Shock, Doubt, and Defense
Reactions were immediate and intense. Many viewers expressed shock, questioning whether Salah’s actions contradicted his known support for Palestine.
But the story didn’t stop there. Fans from around the world rushed to defend the football star, reminding critics of his long history of advocacy and past gestures that aligned with Palestinian causes.
Standing Up Against UEFA
One of the most cited examples came from August, when Salah publicly criticized UEFA over their “tribute” to the late Palestinian player Suleiman al-Obeid, who was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike while waiting for aid.

People all over argued that past actions, public statements, and consistent advocacy speak louder than a single encounter.
The debate highlights how easily online narratives can form and how crucial it is to look beyond one snapshot in time.
