Israel's attempts to destroy sports in Gaza is about killing the idea of play—of preventing people from having even the aspiration of feeling the wind against your face while chasing a ball, Dave Zirin writes.

'The playing of a soccer tournament in Rafah is an act of resistance—and even of survival.' via Dave Zirin thenation.com/article/societ…
Today my colleagues at AFSC sent me these photos from the #Goalsforgaza soccer tournament which took place in Rafah this weekend.
I found the pictures quite emotional in a way I can't quite manage to articulate.
Yesterday, AFSC organized #GoalsForGaza , a soccer tournament for young teens in #Rafah to offer a moment of joy but also send an important message to the world to demand #CeasefireNOW .
