Rabat – Several days after the satirical
website, lecompetiteur, claimed that Argentinian
star Lionel Messi allegedly donated € 1 million
to Israel, the four -time best player of the world
debunked the rumor and denied that he had
donated money to the Hebrew state .
According to Hispan TV , Messi stated that he
uses his money to help build schools and
hospitals for the poor in Argentina , adding that
he can ’ t donate it “ to those who kill children. ”
As soon as the rumor regarding Messi ’s
alleged generosity towards Israel was
published by le Competiteur on July 17 ,
millions of people around the world believed it
at face value, without questioning its veracity
or inquiring about the credibility of the source
that published it.
While many websites republished the same
rumor , no major media outlet reported about
it.
The same website that claimed Messi donated
his World Cup prize money to Israel , claimed
that the Algerian players had donated the
totality of their World Cup prize money , worth
$9 million , to the Palestinian children in Gaza.
But this rumor , which was reported by
many news outlets, including major ones, was
not confirmed by any Algerian official.
As a recently as last week , the Algerian
football federation announced that Algerian
players would donate as little as $100, 000 to
the war -torn Gaza.

That i admire messi or Ronaldo is within the football circle anything outside that, they are on their own.
They only have greater knowledge within the area they operate which is football and my love for them didn't transcend beyond the pitch and will never make me align myself to their believe that Isreal is genocidal in their operations against Palestine. Inshort all Islamic countries are potential terrorist to their neighbouring countries and shouldn't be treated with only carrot relationship. ATimes stick is needed.

Had it been isreal was lenient in their dealings with those blood sucking extremists that country wound have been in rumble by now

Is Israel begging for donations from anyone?

What rubbish
