Tottenham\u00a0winger Manor Solomon has had his Instagram account reactivated after it was suspended over a string of pro-Israel posts.<\/p>\n
According to The Telegraph, the 24-year-old’s account was restored on Wednesday, just over a week after it was banned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s ridiculous,’ one of the player’s representatives told the Telegraph.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He didn\u2019t make any anti-Palestine posts, just support for his own country. It\u2019s ridiculous. Instagram is ridiculous.’<\/p>\n
The Israeli Football Association also hit out at Instagram, by sharing a picture on the platform of Solomon wearing the national kit with his mouth taped.<\/p>\n
The message underneath read: ‘The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. so help you God!’<\/p>\n
Solomon described his family’s ordeal in the aftermath of Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.<\/p>\n
‘Over 800 Israelis have been murdered \u2013 the most murdered in one day since the Holocaust,’ he wrote.<\/p>\n
‘Over 150 people have been kidnapped \u2013 including women, children, babies and elderly people. Thousands of missiles and rockets have been fired towards innocent civilians!<\/p>\n
‘Hamas is not doing (and has never done) anything in favour of the Palestine people. Hamas is a terror organisation with one mission only \u2013 to wipe the Jews off the planet.<\/p>\n
‘Supporting them means supporting terror, just like supporting Al-Qaeda, Isis and the attacks on 9\/11. Israel has the right to defend itself! Pray for Israel.’<\/p>\n
After\u00a0a massive explosion <\/span>killed hundreds of people at a crowded hospital in Gaza City on October 17, Solomon accused Hamas\u00a0of ‘blaming Israel’ after ‘killing their own people’.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Israeli Football Association also hit out at Instagram, by sharing a picture on the platform of Solomon wearing the national kit with his mouth taped<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spurs midfielder shared a post from Israeli news site Mako on Instagram, which carried a picture of the blast and<\/span>\u00a0a statement from the Israeli Defence Forces suggesting the explosion at the Al Ahli hospital was caused by a ‘failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad’.<\/p>\n Underneath the post, the Israeli international wrote: ‘Killing their own people and blaming Israel’, along with two confused emojis.<\/p>\n Solomon also shared a post from Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who reiterated the blast had been caused by Islamic Jihad.<\/p>\n ‘Never before has the choice been clearer,’ Herzog wrote.<\/p>\n ‘Israel is standing against an enemy made of pure evil.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian militant group, denied responsibility for the attack on the hospital, which\u00a0Hamas blamed it on an Israeli airstrike.<\/p>\n Solomon isn’t the first footballer to find himself in hot water over social media comments relating to the conflict in Israel and Palestine.<\/p>\n Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury avoided a ban from the Football Association after posting a message on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that read \u2018from the river to sea\u2019.<\/p>\n The adage has strong pro-Palestinian connotations. The former England Under-21 midfielder\u2019s post was accompanied by an emoji of the Palestinian flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n Choudhury has since apologised and deleted the post.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hamza Choudhury was not charged for his pro-Palestine social media post by the FA<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mainz last week terminated Anwar El Ghazi’s contract with immediate effect over pro-Palestine posts after initially suspending the former Aston Villa player from training\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Mainz terminated Anwar El Ghazi’s contract over the Dutch winger’s social media posts on the war in Palestine.<\/p>\n The former Aston Villa and PSV star was suspended from training and match days at the German club after he made a pro-Palestine post on social media – which he swiftly deleted.<\/p>\n Mainz announced last week that it had lifted El Ghazi’s suspension after holding an ‘in-depth conversation’ with the player.<\/p>\n El Ghazi\u00a0took to social media again\u00a0to clarify his position, insisting he had ‘no regret or remorse’ over his original post and that he was ‘against the killing of all civilians’.<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tottenham’s Israeli midfielder Manor Solomon has his Instagram account REACTIVATED after it was taken down for posting a string of pro-Israel images when he travelled […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294615,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
