Egypt coach Hossam Hassan makes remarks during the build-up to the FIFA World Cup, saying that anyone who does not feel for Palestinian people is “not human.” In statements reported by Canadian outlet Winnipeg Free Press and Indian outlet The Hindu, Hassan says the sentiment applies regardless of nationality or background, adding that a person could be Arab, European, or American and still be lacking empathy for Palestinians. The comments are framed by both sources as a direct response to the question of whether empathy for Palestinians is a moral requirement. Neither source provides further detail on the context of the remarks, such as the exact question asked or whether FIFA or tournament officials have responded. The reporting focuses on the quoted language used by Hassan and the breadth of his message. Both articles present the remarks as coming from Hassan in his role as Egypt’s coach in connection with the World Cup.
