Two football games took place almost simultaneously recently. And my goodness, how clearly did they show that they were not just from different teams but from different worlds. In one, in Bilbao, tens of thousands of football fans showed solidarity with the people being oppressed and undergoing a genocide. In the second one, in Lithuania, a match was played with a team of an occupier, a genocidal fascist regime -- behind closed doors, to minimise the risk of disruptions.

These two friendly matches, one with Palestine and one with Israel, represent two different worlds. They are also reminders that we all have a choice in which world we want to be actively contributing to.
