❌ In 2021, then leading sponsor of Arsenal football club Lavazza raised concerns of ‘antisemitism’ regarding Mohamed Elneny’s pro-Palestinian post on Twitter, which said:
"My heart my soul, my support for you Palestine."
The Egyptian star shared this post in wake of the Israeli assault on Gaza that week, in which ~181 Palestinians were killed.
Lavazza then called for urgent talks with Arsenal, commenting, “Content of this post is totally not aligned with our company values. Lavazza Group is fully committed against racism and antisemitism.” Furthering this, Lavazza also contacted sponsors Adidas and even the FA calling for the midfielder to be suspended for his tweet.
